Act II: Scene I – Birth of an Empire
Wolver – Act II: Scene I – Birth of an Empire
Focus track: “COLOSSEUM”
Wolver open a new chapter in their dark rock-opera with Act II: Scene I – Birth of an Empire—a widescreen collision of modern alternative rock, theatrical harmonies, and rebel-blues grit. The EP’s centerpiece, “COLOSSEUM,” crowns the set with a rallying cry of power and spectacle—“You should call me Caesar”—while earlier singles “soapboX Preacher,” “Vegas Hustler,” and “same2me” sketch the manipulation, risk, and disillusion that fuel the saga.
Recorded in Sweden with producers Gustav Ydenius and the band, mixed by Håkan Fredriksson and mastered by Björn Engelmann, the sound is razor-tight and arena-ready: gritty guitars, pounding drums, stacked vocals, and hooks built for modern rock playlists. The narrative continues Wolver’s mythos—The Protagonist, The Brawler, and The Bard rising against The Master—mirroring real-world power plays through a traveling-show lens.
With Polymath PR steering press, radio pushes planned in the US, Sweden, and Germany, and a vinyl edition on deck, Act II: Scene I – Birth of an Empire turns every song into a scene and every chorus into a calling card for a growing empire.
