Vincent Crowley of Wolfen Society - Back
1. How did the band get started? How did you meet and how long have you been together?

Vincent Crowley: After I broke up my band Acheron, I decided to form a band with other musicians I have admired in the scene. So I formed Wolfen Society with some great fucking guys. The project started about 5 months ago.

2. How would you describe your music?

Vincent Crowley: Hate filled! It is hate metal, pure and simple!

3. What are your biggest influences?

Vincent Crowley: Hatred, the occult, sex, and chaos.

4. What influence do you think your bands has in music and metal today?

Vincent Crowley: We are to new to tell. But we hope to spread the hate around the world. Our music shows our hatred for mankind and all white light religions.

5. What made you want to be in the band? And if you weren’t in the band what would you be doing now?

Vincent Crowley: It is a true release for me. It let's me use my creativity in a productive way. If I didn't have music, I'd most likely be in jail for mass murder! (Ha, ha)

6. Are any band members in side projects? If so what are they, and explain a little about them.

Vincent Crowley: Wolfen society is the musical project. Everyone has their other bands. I used to do Acheron, now I am in the mists of doing my new band "Crowley." Our drummer Kyle Severn is in Incantation, our rhythm guitarist Lord Ahriman is in Dark Funeral, and Thomas Thorn (keyboards, samples, and 2nd vocals) and Ricktor Ravensbruck (lead guitar) are in The Electric Hellfire Club.

7. How would you feel if a band took their sound from yours and became very well known?

Vincent Crowley: If they did it on purpose, that would be pathetic. I really don't care what other bands do. I only care about what "my" band does. I have no time for soap operas. We write original music and that is all that matters to me.

8. What current bands do you like or respect?

Vincent Crowley: Anyone that is original and pushes the buttons of the public. But my favorites are king Diamond, Morbid Angel, Black Sabbath, Deicide, Velvet Acid Christ, Mercyful Fate, etc.

9. How many demos/albums do you have? Tell me about them!!

Vincent Crowley: We have a 4 song mini-cd called "Conquer Divine" coming out by the end of this year on House of Death Records. It will feature the songs "Conquer Divine", "Blood Oath", "Life is War", and a cover of Carnivore's song "Race War."

10. What demo/album do you like the best?

Vincent Crowley: I can't answer that, since this will be our first release.

11. What is the meaning behind the songs?

Vincent Crowley: The concept of Wolfen Society is the misanthropic lifestyle. All our songs deal with hatred!

12. What are the bands favorite songs?

Vincent Crowley: We like them all. They are like our diabolic children. Our musical spawn.

13. What does the future hold for the band?

Vincent Crowley: We are presently looking for a label to release our next cd "Misanthropic race" on. After that, who knows. We just hope to continue recording brutal music.

14. If you could play with any band who would it be and why?

Vincent Crowley: I would have to say the original Black Sabbath. Because they brought me into this world of metal. They are the true metal gods!

15. Who writes the majority of the music?

Vincent Crowley: I do, but we all contribute our own personal touches to each song. So you can say I build the foundation and we build from there.

16. Who has been the favorite band you’ve played with and why?

Vincent Crowley: As for me personally, I'd have to say Deicide.

17. Where did you get the band name from?

Vincent Crowley: Wolfen Society was supposed to be the underground society of an ex-organization I ran called "The Order of the Evil Eye." So I am keeping the idea alive with this band. Those who understand what we are about are also a part of the Wolfen Brood.

18. Describe what the band is like live?

Vincent Crowley: We don't play live shows. But if we did, it would be very intense!

19. If you are gonna do any kind of video what would be in it?

Vincent Crowley: Destruction, murders, riots, chaos, insanity, sickness and warfare.

20. Are there any touring plans made; if so tell me about them?

Vincent Crowley: No. The members other bands do the touring. Wolfen society is a recording project.

21. Where do you think the band will be 20 years from now?

Vincent Crowley: Who knows? I live for today.
