Howls from the Underground: Wolf’s Self-Titled Debut (CPLG-1001)
Today’s entry explores the debut album from the Japanese heavy metal band Wolf, their self-titled release bearing the catalog number CPLG-1001.
Issued in 1987 on the influential independent label Captain Records, this 12-inch vinyl LP captures the raw energy of the Japanese underground metal scene during that period. Captain Records was known for its diverse roster, often leaning towards punk and hardcore, but also releasing significant metal albums, making Wolf’s debut a notable part of the label’s history.
Wolf unleashed a potent blend of heavy metal and speed metal. “Wolf” (the album) delivers aggressive riffs, fast tempos characteristic of speed metal, driving rhythms, and powerful, likely high-pitched, vocals. As an independent release on Captain Records, the sound is likely raw and energetic, capturing the band’s hungry, untamed spirit.
CPLG-1001 is a sought-after item for collectors of Japanese metal and those interested in the diverse output of the Captain Records label. It represents the fierce debut of a band contributing to the heavier side of the vibrant 80s indie scene, showcasing pure, unadulterated speed metal energy.
