Platinum-certified hard rock juggernaut Bad Wolves are back with a vengeance. Today, the band dropped the deluxe edition of their 2023 album Die About It via Better Noise Music, packing in nine fresh tracks that showcase both their ferocity and willingness to experiment.
At the forefront is the brand-new single “Hanging On To Thunder” featuring Australian rockers Stand Atlantic. Drummer and founder John Boecklin calls the track a testament to resilience:
“This song embodies what we do best: big hooks, raw emotion, and pure power. Stand Atlantic takes it to the next level with an absolutely insane vocal performance. We’re incredibly proud of this one.”
The deluxe edition also offers reimagined versions of fan favorites, including “Say It Again” with Lauri Ylönen of Finnish rock icons The Rasmus, orchestral treatments of “Legends Never Die”, and blistering live takes of “Bad Friend” and “Legends Never Die.”
Originally released in November 2023, Die About It marked a turning point for Bad Wolves, broadening their sonic palette with collaborations like “Hungry For Life” (featuring Daughtry). The album has since racked up more than 32 million streams, solidifying the band’s place as one of modern rock’s most ambitious forces.
Since exploding onto the scene in 2018 with their seismic cover of The Cranberries’ “Zombie,” Bad Wolves have built an empire on massive hooks, bone-crushing riffs, and relentless touring alongside acts like Papa Roach, Volbeat, and Hollywood Undead. With Die About It (Deluxe), they continue that legacy, balancing raw heaviness with unexpected twists and high-profile collaborations.
