“Cream is a quintessential band that has inspired generations of musicians for decades now, ourselves included,” comments vocalist Alex Cuningham. “Sunshine of Your Love” features such an iconic riff and is arguably a seminal blueprint for the heavy rock that followed its first release in 1967. Initially, the song was a rehearsal warm up number for Blackwülf, but after moving it into our live set and seeing fans’ reactions, we decided to cut it to vinyl. With Pentagam’s Geof O’Keefe ripping as a guest on the track on lead guitar, we hope our version to be a worthy tribute to a band that means so much to us personally and to many other fans of vintage heavy rock.”

   Released this past February via Ripple Music (Mothership, Wo Fat, Castle), Sinister Sides was recorded at San Francisco’s Trakworx Recording & Mastering (Agalloch, Deafheaven) and showcases eight songs featuring heavy, headbanging riffs, The LP is the follow-up to Blackwülf‘s 2015 LP, Oblivion Cycle, hailed as “rock ‘n’ roll at its purest” (The Bay Bridged).

 “Sinister Sides’ is, at its core, old school heavy rock made new again,” says Blackwülfguitarist Pete Holmes. “Filled to the brim with fist-pumping riffs and aggressive grooves, the record’s intention is to provide a classic ‘album experience’: a dark journey through the best sides of vintage hard rock, stoner rock and traditional doom metal.”
