Wolf
This British band (not to be confused with a more recent
Swedish band also called
Wolf)
originally formed in 1977 as Leviathan, and later switched
name to Black Axe.
As Black Axe, they scored a pair of minor hits with "Highway Rider"
and "Edge Of The World", the latter appearing on
a pretty good
Friday Rock Show compilation alongside
several other NWOBHM stalwarts such as
Diamond Head,
Sweet Savage,
and
Witchfynde.
They signed to Chrysalis Records, who apparently convinced
them to change name to Wolf.
An album was recorded, but for whatever reason the band
was dropped by Chrysalis without its release.
That album,
Edge Of The World, was eventually released
by the Belgian label Mausoleum in 1984, by which time
whatever momentum the band might have built had faded away.
