Connect The Circle proudly announces the release of “Wolf In The Sky,” the first installment in an ambitious trilogy exploring catastrophic events that have threatened humanity throughout history. The album drops August 1st, 2025.
The band has unveiled the official lyric video for the single “Never Ending Winter.” Watch it via the YouTube player below:
The band states about the track:
Experience the haunting melodies of ❄Never Ending Winter❄ from the upcoming album ‘Wolf In The Sky.’This song is based on a true story, and transports you back to the year 536, a time when the world faced devastation from significant volcanic eruptions. Join us on this epic journey as we explore the depths of loss and resilience through evocative music. Let the powerful sounds take you back to a pivotal moment in history.“
“Wolf In The Sky” is inspired by the cataclysmic volcanic eruption of the year 536 – an event that plunged the Earth into darkness and caused widespread famine, death, and despair. Historians now regard 536 AD as “the worst year to be alive,” with up to half the population of Norway perishing in its aftermath. This haunting historical backdrop sets the stage for a powerful sonic journey.
Musically, “Wolf In The Sky” is a grand and emotionally charged statement. In what may be Connect The Circle’s strongest work to date, the band showcases its full artistic and technical range:
Kenneth Brastad delivers soaring, intricate guitar work that defines the album’s monumental atmosphere.
Baard Kolstad, widely recognized as one of the greatest drummers in the world, brings jaw-dropping precision and intensity.
Arild Fevang captivates with a commanding vocal performance, balancing grit and grandeur.
Mariuuz Fluge Vindedal anchors the band with tight, muscular bass lines that drive the music forward.
“Wolf In The Sky” is more than just an album—it’s an immersive experience, blending historical reflection with explosive musical craftsmanship. This release marks a bold step forward for Connect The Circle, and sets the tone for what promises to be an epic trilogy.
