Bio:
White Wolf is a Canadian hard rock / heavy metal band from Edmonton, Alberta, led by Don Wolf.White Wolf originally formed in 1975 under the name Slamm, then changed to Warrior before settling on White Wolf.The group played locally for several years before landing a recording contract with RCA Records; their debut album, Standing Alone, was issued on the label in 1984. The band toured in Canada, the United States, Europe and Japan in support of the album.A second album, Endangered Species, was released in 1986.The album included one song which was made into a music video: "She".The group disbanded shortly after completing the album,but released a third album with new material, Victim Of The Spotlight, in 2007.They came together again for a tour of Germany that year; a concert from this tour was recorded live and released in 2008 by Escape Music as WHITE WOLF Live in Germany.As of 2016, White Wolf continues to perform occasionally at local venues.The band split-up in 1988. Don Wolf and Cam MacLeod reformed the band in 2007.
Album:
Here’s the new Rock Candy remastered edition.With a name like White Wolf you’d almost expect this band to come from the forests of Northern Ontario or Quebec.No so; they hail from provincial capital of Edmonton Alberta (pop: 800,000).So we’ll forgive that the music video for “Shadows in the Night” (from 1984’s Standing Alone) made them looks like outdoors winter survivalists.Long-haired sidekicks of Les Stroud? No; they look much more indoors-y on Endangered Species, their second album before disbanding.The album cover is notable for being a Hugh Syme work, though obviously a lesser one.They earned some minor video play with “She”, indicating a more keyboardy direction than album #1.Mushy sounding drums distract from the killer Don Wolf (Don Wilk) chorus. Akin to Dokken’s “Breaking the Chains”, “She” will appeal to hard rockers who like melody with their guitars.It’s all about that chorus though, the kind that makes you hit “repeat” and go right back to the start.White Wolf has a weird 80s metal thud and that combined with harsh production values make Endangered Species sound terribly dated.Techy keyboard flairs sound lifted from David Bryan’s Slippery When Wet sound library.Anyone craving mid-tempo 80s hard rock will find enjoyable music on Endangered Species, but few songs have the same impact as “She”.Dull verses, bland choruses and generic song titles keep things from sticking.Sub-Jovi with none of Jon’s then-irresistible innocence is a narrow niche.“Just Like an Arrow” comes close, but the keyboards weigh it down when it should be flying.Too many bands (Quiet Riot, Stryper, etc.) really let the keys have too much space around this time.“Cryin to the Wind” has an excellent acoustic intro but not enough of a song to go with it.The drum samples are obtrusive because they don’t sound natural.It sounds like a lot of time was taken in the studio but the technology wasn’t up to the task, and everything came out tinny and powerless.“Holding Back” doesn’t have enough hooks.“Snake Charmer” steals a title and a hook from Ritchie Blackmore, and appeals as a Rainbow-like understudy.The only other track besides “She” and “Snake Charmer” that hits the spot is “One More Time”.
