On October 14th 2016, German hardcore punk/metal label WOOAAARGH will co-release Once Love Was Lost , the new album from Vorvaň. Although the band has been unleashing their brand of metal punk since 2012, they have been relatively unknown outside of their native Russia. Mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge), Once Love Was Lost will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the best albums of 2016.
Formed in 2009 by guitarist Eugene Cherevkov in Moscow Russia, the band went through several line-up changes before settling into its current incarnation. The band has built up a solid buzz in their native country and as a result have shared the stage with heavyweights such as Napalm Death, Extreme Noise Terror and Walls of Jericho.
Musicians from Converge, From Ashes Rise, Punch, Afgrund, Plague Widow and Distaste took part in making Once Love Was Lost come true. The music Vorvaň prepared for their listeners has a completely different sound, mixes new genres and contains ten themes united under one idea. The atmosphere has become darker, lyrics have become more hair-raising and the group now uses a second guitar and additional instruments. The release of ‘OLWL’ opens the band’s new era.
