Wolf to Man is the eighth studio album by the Swedish-Greek melodic death metal band Nightrage, released on 29 March 2019 through Despotz Records. The album’s central theme revolves around humanity's regression to a primal state, exploring the darker side of human nature and the destruction that follows.[1]
Background
editWolf to Man was produced by Ronnie Björnström, a notable figure in melodic death metal production. The album was recorded at Otse Music Studio in Thessaloniki, Greece, and Bombshelter Studios in Uppsala, Sweden. Mixing and mastering were completed at The Mixroom, Umeå, Sweden. Lyrically, the album discusses the collapse of humanity and the rise of primal instincts.[2]
Music and style

The album showcases Ronnie Nyman's growling vocals, with Marios Iliopoulos and Magnus Söderman delivering guitar work. Songs like "By Darkness Drawn" and "Wolf to Man" received praise for their dynamic structure and anthemic qualities.[3]
