31-III-2008 • A week ago, on March 22, our violinist, Max Zhupikov became a father. We wish his son Feodor Maksimovich to grow faster, please his parents and become the most ardent fan of his dad's musical performances. Pictured: Feodor listening to a new solo.

05-II-2008 • Finally we can announce the exact date of release of our "Whitemare Rhymes" album. It will be available through CCP Records from April 4, 2008. Let's start the countdown.

23-XII-2007 • Merry Xmas and Happy New Year! Sit back, relax, and watch this movie.

26-IX-2007 • Up to earlier Xmas sales in the shops, we are forced to delay the release date of our new album to February 2008.

07-IX-2007 • The 5th anniversary of a band is a very significant date. It is still too young to die, but may become too old to rock’n’roll (special thanks to Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull for the view) if nothing is changed. It is a date when a kind of initiation is needed as a child needs to be initiated to become a man. So the initiation happened. It came with the contract from CCP Records, which means that the local band Wolfsangel is no more and there is a European band.... called Wolfmare. Certainly, when a child becomes man he also finds his name. So there are no angels at the childhood end, but the wolves are still here.... as well as the dream, the mirror, the mirage where angels live. The ancient word Mare.... The king is dead, long live the king! Give no sorrow to the childish name, welcome the new band! Let me remind that the first album of Wolfmare called Whitemare Rhymes will be released by CCP in November.

08-VIII-2007 • Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to announce that the new Wolfsangel album called “Whitemare Rhymes” will be released by the famous Austrian label CCP Records. The release date will be announced soon. Let us also note, that the conract is signed for 3 albums.

03-V-2007 • Give your congratulations! We’ve just finished recording and mixing of our sophomore album titled “Whitemare Rhymes”. The sessions lasted throughout 2006 in a bunch of studios of St.Petersburg, Russia. A lot of traditional instruments such as violin, cello, mandolin, bagpipes and others was used in the recording. Keith Fay and Karen Gilligan of CRUACHAN made a guest appearance recording vocals and bodhran for three songs. Mixing and mastering were done by Lazar (ROSSOMAHAAR, ARKONA). Currently we are searching for a worthy record label that would release and promote the album.
