A journey into the Wolf's Lair

Very few bands take on a brand new avatar and still hold together a dedicated fan base, but Chennai-based metal band Wolf’s Lair has been fast growing as a promising metal act in the short period since its inception.
Wolf’s Lair, which was formed in August 2010, features Mark Thomas on lead vocals, Anshuman Mishra on guitars and backing vocals, Anshuman Mishra om guitars, Arun Daniel (bass), Vivin Kuruvilla (drums) and Manu Krishnan on drums.Most members of this line-up previously played together as the hugely-successful Blood & Iron, which had opened for Swedish Power Metal band Hammerfall in 2010. “We decided to form a new line up along with Anshuman and Pharez and explore a new sound,” explains Vivin, adding that with the new members came the powerful sound and a wave of pure-aggressive music.
Recognized for their intensely powered grooves and smooth vocals, the band now delivers a unique sound, which is a collaboration of the individual band members and their influences. “Thus bringing out a sound ranging from Power to Epic to Symphonic to Thrash to Speed to Melodic to Death to Progressive and absolute Heavy Metal,” the band members describe their music.
After winning a popular band hunt competition, Wolf’s Lair has been playing on various stages across the country. “We have a consistently supportive fan base,” says Vivin, further adding that it’s important for any band to have a steady line-up and support for their sound. At the end of the day, this is a band with the energy and the adrenalin-pumping music. There’s no metal without the headbangers, right?
