9000 JOHN DOE are soon releasing their sophomore album The Spirit of The Firewolf. They deliver hardcore-inspired metal with a glint in their eyes and a certain empathy and energy, which has led to a considerable fan base in the Danish metal scene.
Get a feel for their energy in this music video, made for their 2nd single – Rusty Nails.
Everything from song compositions to production on their album The Spirit of The Firewolf has been taken to a higher level. The focal point has been less on the party and substantially more on kicking ass with riffs that would bring envy and pride to their 90’s inspirations. The danish charm and sense of patriotism persists, but this time with a certain amount of seriousness and confidence, in the way they deliver the songs on this upcoming album.
The album The Spirit of The Firewolf will be released April 27th.
9000 John Doe has levelled the danish metal scene for a number of years. Their hardcore-inspired metal comes with a cheeky smile and with an experience and energy that has given them many fans on the Danish metal scene. They’ve even had some success on the hip-hop scene, with features by Jonny Hefty and Jøden.
The band is now ready with their sophomore album “The Spirit of The Firewolf”, on which everything from production to songwriting has been lifted to a higher level. There is less focus on partying and much more focus on heavy, ass-kicking riffs that would make their 90’s idols proud. 9000 John Doe’s North Jutland charm has remained, but it’s now accompanied by a certain amount of seriousness and confidence, in the way they deliver their songs on the upcoming album.
“We have never worked as hard and focused on an album like we have with this one. There have been many emotions in play, and the result is the heaviest record we have ever made. There’s more focus on metal and details, but we haven’t completely discarded our rock-ish side.” states vocalist Tommy Knøs.
The album is produced by Jacob Olsen in JBO Sound, which has contributed to a more unified and solid sound image, which compliments what we have, without hesitation, named the band’s best
release to date.
The sophomore album will be self-released on April 27th 2018, and the band will be joining Illdisposed on tour in October 2018.
