British metal pioneers, Raging Speedhorn, have released their brand-new studio album »Night Wolf« on March 7th, 2025.
Raging Speedhorn drummer Gordon Morison comments, “We’ve been blown away by the responses to both »Night Wolf« and »Every Night’s Alright For Fighting«, and seeing the excitement from the fans has been amazing. Making »Night Wolf« was a joy, and we’re excited to hit the road with Hit The Lights! If you haven’t grabbed a ticket yes, don’t miss out. These dates are going to be pure fucking chaos!”
»Night Wolf« is an album that perfectly captures the magic Raging Speedhorn have been concocting over their 25-year plus career. Flitting between sludge, crushing doom and high-energy dirt-fuelled rock ‘n’ roll riffs, the sextet have matured like a fine wine and honed their craft to a new level.
Featuring ten tracks of ferocious, riff-centred metal that’s packed with strength, power, and, ultimately, song-driven groove, Raging Speedhorn are once again ready to provide an antidote to mediocrity and pedestrian radio-rock.
Recorded with Russ Russell (Napalm Death, At The Gates, Dimmu Borgir) at Parlour Studios in Kettering, UK, the relationship between Raging Speedhorn and Russell has been honed over many years – he has produced the Pledge Music-released »Lost Ritual« and »Hard To Kill«.
Morrison adds, “Russ really captures what we want to achieve and understands the band. We always work well together and, frankly, I wouldn’t want to record with anyone else at this stage.”
»Night Wolf« is the first album to feature new guitarist Daf Williams who joins founding members Frank Regan (vocals), Gordon Morison (drums) and mainstays Jim Palmer (guitar), Andy Gilmour (bass – who also plays with UK post-hardcore legends Hundred Reasons) and second vocalist Dan Cook. This reinvigorated line-up sees Raging Speedhorn not only capture the spirit of the band’s DNA but push their own musical boundaries and swagger into new uncharted territories.
“I think »Night Wolf« is more of a progression of the last record,” states ringleader Morison, “that’s what we’ve gone for really. When we first got back together after our hiatus, we didn’t really know what we wanted to do. [2016’s] »Lost Ritual« came quite quickly, because we didn’t have enough time to write it. With [2020’s] »Hard To Kill«, we took more time to do it, and with »Night Wolf« we’ve taken a lot of time to do it really, we just wanted to make sure it was right this time. It’s probably the longest we’ve ever taken to write a record; we wanted to make sure it was just right, and we were happy with it before we went in to record.”
“This album is straight-up Raging Speedhorn – with added extras,” says founding co-frontman Frank Regan. “Right now, the band is on fire, the vibe is amazing, and we’re so happy to be back playing music. 7 albums in and we’re still loving what we do.” The album – the follow-up to 2020’s »Hard To Kill« is the first to feature new guitarist Daf Williams who replaces Dave Leese.
Raging Speedhorn have built a solid and long-standing reputation as one of the UK’s leading metal outfits. Since the release of their eponymous debut in 2000, the sextet have enjoyed a career built on stunning, raucous live shows and albums to boot. Playing worldwide shows and festivals – sharing stages with the likes of Slipknot, Clutch, Skindred and many more.
Raging Speedhorn are also set to hit the road across the UK and Ireland with Kill The Lights (ex-BFMV) this March.
