JUNKWOLVZ

Junkwolvz is a new band located in Athens, Greece. Their sound occupies the space between metal and hard rock and their purpose is to reawaken the rock ‘n’ roll element in metal music. With main influences such as Motorhead, Megadeth and Guns ‘N’ Roses, the focus is to merge all these different angles into one coherent musical style.

Their first incarnation was in late 2017 but, due to discord in the band’s members at the time, they soon disbanded… The group truly began at 2019 when Panos (guitar – vocals / ex – Chronosphere) and Stef (drums / ex-Boneyard, ex-Soundkrash) were joined by friend musicians Chris (guitar) and Manos (bass) who decided to help the two original members kickstart the band, without being in the band.

After some cancelled 2020 shows due to the pandemic, Panos and Stef settled on using the quarantine to self-produce their first demo and, at that time, found guitarist Tasos (ex-Accelerator, ex-Fortunate Fault) who joined forces at once. Continuing as a power trio with Panos on bass, Junkwolvz released the digital demo “Still Going Down” in the summer of 2020.

Rehearsals and “party gigs” were the main gateways of their expression for the years 2020-2021. Becoming a four-piece with Samer on bass duties, in 2022 they released two singles called “A Blackened Star” and “The Monster” and they begun some after-COVID live action. In September of the same year Junkwolvz joined the ‘Metal Solid@rity’ initiative and participated in ‘Metal Solid@rity #1’ Festival as well as in the bandcamp collection under the same name.

2023 had in store some line-up changes for the band. They now consist of Panos (guitars & vocals), Tasos (guitars), Dimos (bass – also in Acid Mammoth, Dragotherion), Haris (drums – ex-Hateflames) and they just released a new single called “Ride With Me“. Although their minds are focused on their first LP, they’re craving to hit every stage near you!
