Glorior Belli’s Infestuus provides the “star power” for Wolfe, a three-man outfit that mopes through seven long tracks of painfully incessant melancholy; guitars brood and fuzz, percussion as rumbling hooves, vocals as gargled vomit. Melodies, when extracted, are timeless and haunting: folk song for the farmer’s workday—frowning cheer at the kitchen table with mulled wine and filthy, broken hands. Differences between tracks are almost imperceptible; subtlety is sacrificed for deliberate repetition, like listening to the river rush for hours after its filled the lungs of your children and taken your family. Wolfe’s dense, depressive quality cannot be played down; this is the band’s greatest weapon and few wield it like this outfit does.
