Formed in Leoben, Styria, Austria in 2005, Wolfpack Unleashed play a technically oriented brand of thrash metal that draws heavily from the Bay Area tradition — particularly the precision and harmonic sophistication of Megadeth-era Rust in Peace and Metallica's Master of Puppets. Their debut album Anthems of Resistance (2007, Napalm Records) showcased an abundance of melodic lead work, harmonic runs, and shred-oriented soloing within a framework of aggressive modern thrash. The band has remained active as an independent act since departing from Napalm Records.
