Band Line Up 2025
Rising from the old kingdom of Hen Ogledd, ThunarWülf (olde English for Thunder Wolf) formed in 2022, with their first self titled EP being released at the end of the year.
Forged from members of local folk heroes Treebeard and The Kraken fused with a plethora of established metal musicians, ThunarWülf bring forward an energetic and aggressive mix of huge riffs, traditional folk melodies from the British Isles and beyond, sprinkled with catchy hooks.
ThunarWülf sing songs of ancient myths and legends, many of which have remained untold since ages past. Fill your steins, raise your horns, and don your woad, for tonight, WE RIDE!
Will Price (vox)
Bringing a furious combination of angry yet melodic vocals to ThunarWulf.
Nowadays found roaming the forests, mead in hand, questing for tales of old lore, lost mythology and forgotten realms.
Andrew Gibson (guitar)
Emerging from a thick blend of Scandinavian Black Metal, Folk Metal, Pale Ale and lively riffs, Gibby entered the realm of ThunarWulf during it’s initial formation.
Not to be mistaken for his beardless brother, Stuart Gibson of Aonia.
Karen O'Donnell (Keytar)
Legend and co-founder of Sheffield’s electronic folk session at Sheffield Sessions Festival and regular synth / folk mashup extraordinaire. Multi-talented instrumentalist and composer.
Rich Marsden (guitar)
When not writing powerfully mesmerising guitar solo’s for ThunarWulf, Rich can be found playing guitar for Sheffield’s premiere Rage Against the Machines Tribute band “Reyt Against t’machine”.
Hazel Mayow (Whistle)
Founder member of former folk metal band Andraste, and currently in Ceilidh band The Kraken, Hazel has been playing whistle since the age of 12.
They can usually found somewhere between foraging the remaining wildlands of Britain and contributing hauntingly melodic whistle melodies to folk sessions.
Jesse Armstrong (Bass)
Persistently laying down growly bass riffs from an early age, Jesse’s worked alongside the likes of Elliot Vernon (Alestorm) & Nick Wragg (Ferocious Dog) through his other band, Eoten.
Nick Robinson (Drums)
Founder of ThunarWulf. Hitter of drums. Drinker of JD.
Long term skin beater, Nick has provided the drums for many a Sheffield band.
After many years attending the festival as fans, we’re all stoked to bring the Wülves to Bloodstock!
Metal 2 the Masses has been an incredible journey for us. We've made new friends and fans along the way, and to have made it all the way to Bloodstock is a real honour.
