   About Dire Wolf
Dire Wolf is an extreme metal band from Eugene, OR. They formed in the Spring of 2007 and have been regularly playing shows at local venues. Dire Wolf is a project which strives to maintain an eclectic set of influences and range of sound while simeltaneously attempting to remain true to their death metal roots. At first you may be surprised by the symphonic compositional aspect of Dire Wolf's music, but as you go deeper, you may discover that Dire Wolf is really just four guys who have an insatiable appetite for power and rock.

What does it mean to really be free? Did we agree at birth to follow the rules of society, or is this "social contract" a fallacy perpetuated by the stubborn arrogance of mankind? The name "Dire Wolf" was chosen as a symbol of respect for the cycles of evolution and extinction; the life and death of species and ideas; the finite nature of all existences. The lyrics often engage subjects such as the unbelievable power of nature, as well as the abandonment of hope and trust in human society and a return to a more natural kind of freedom. People must one day learn that we are not the center of the universe and that there are many things infinitely more powerful than our technology and our brains, or we will surely meet an ignominious end.

A special note from the band:

Artistically, we would rather do something special and unique than do something that will bring us recognition. However, we realize that in order to spread this artistic message, we need support, and we would be nowhere without you, our listeners. We love it when you listen to us, and so in turn, we love you. In order to preserve our rights, we are not signing with any label at this time; if you like our music, the best way to support us and our continuing musical addiction is to come to a show. We'd look forward to meeting you and having a drink or three, but until then, enjoy the site and the tracks and feel free to leave a comment - we listen.
