FACE THE WOLVES EPK
-
Ethereal yet feral, Face The Wolves are a female-fronted electronic metalcore band emerging from the Guildford scene. Sonically comparable to the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Architects and Sleep Token, they combine an expanse of synthesisers and textures with throbbing riffs and blast beats to concoct killer tracks.
Compositionally, the forefront of Face The Wolves’ sound has been cultivated by Serena Davidson; fronting the band as lead guitarist, vocalist and producer, she exudes the quintessential aura of a modern rock chic. Her overtly assertive stance and mesmerising tone contrasted with primal screaming paves the way for a brutal show.
Formed in 2020, the three-piece discuss the angst, crisis and confusion of being a teenager in 2022 in their lyrics; ‘Face The Wolves in itself is a play on the way that society as a whole will ‘chew you up and spit you out’.
With plans to release numerous singles towards their Debut EP ‘In A Dark Place’ in the upcoming months, Face The Wolves are certainly a band to keep your eye on…
The majority of their songs are produced in a DIY style; Serena recorded vocals, guitar, bass and synths through her laptop and the three-piece headed to Sunrise Sound Studio in Andover to track drums. Producer Adam Cox created the final mix and master, of which truly brought all elements of the tracks together into what can be heard today.
With plans to release numerous singles towards their Debut EP ‘In A Dark Place’ in the upcoming months, Face The Wolves are certainly a band to keep your eye on…
ARCHANGEL
Composed by Serena who fronts the band, ‘Archangel’ is lyrically rooted around the emotional turmoil that the band and society as a whole were subjected to over the course of the past few years. Within the turbulence of lockdown and feeling misplaced as teenagers themselves in a world spiralling out of control, the band found a strange tranquility through producing songs towards their Debut EP ‘In A Dark Place’.
The lyrics ‘The devil told me to jump on the way home’ are in essence a very personal and sinister take on the thoughts plaguing the minds of youths when left to their own devices.
OXYGEN
Composed by Serena who fronts the band, ‘Oxygen’ is lyrically rooted around how we all put on our ‘brave faces’, concealing the darker aspects of ourselves, and the struggle of losing the people that you choose to show the truest form of yourself to. Within the turbulence of lockdown and feeling misplaced as teenagers themselves in a world spiralling out of control, the band found a strange tranquility through producing songs towards their Debut EP ‘In A Dark Place’.
The lyrics ‘it’s ironic how we brandish these facades, ‘wear our hearts on our sleeves’ then go home to the solace of sequential misery’ reflect the difficulty that individuals face trying to keep their head above the water.

Maybe I was in love with the thrill of
Being tied to nothing and no one
But the loneliness creeps up on you
Unapologetically beat myself back and blue
From long nights alone in this hell hole
To walking alone after you
Been waiting so long for myself to just fall back
Relapse
I stand before the angels
Decide my fate my mind’s unstable
I stand before the angels
The devil told me to jump on the way home
If only I could indulge in the darkness
But no flame burns as much as these scars do
Keep cutting myself until I’m cut off
These voices in my head never cease to relent
From long nights alone in this hell hole
To walking alone after you
Been waiting so long for myself to just fall back
Relapse
I stand before the angels
Decide my fate my minds unstable
I stand before the angels
The devil told me to jump on the way home
Am I immortal cos it never seems to fucking end
My brain aches
Give me a break
My body’s weak I can’t eat I can’t sleep
This sickness is undying
I stand before the angels
Decide my fate my minds unstable
I stand before the angels
The devil told me to jump on the way home
