Bad Wolves has announced Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz as its new vocalist. He replaces Tommy Vext, who left the band earlier in 2021.
Laskiewicz is best known for playing guitar in The Acacia Strain from 2001 to 2013.
Bad Wolves also revealed its upcoming third album will be titled “Dear Monsters.”
The band released the following statement:
“We are excited to officially announce that Bad Wolves has a new singer – Daniel “DL” Lasckiewicz. DL is a tremendous songwriter and singer, and we can confidently say that the album we are working on, titled ‘Dear Monsters’ is the best Bad Wolves album to date.
“DL is one of the most talented and hard-working people we have ever had the pleasure to know. He is a team player, a creative force, and overall a great human being who fits perfectly with our BW family. It feels incredible to be surrounded with such positive energy and the music we’ve made is certainly reflective of this new-found optimism and collaborative spirit. And this new album shows a more cohesive and unique reflection of the band. There is a lot to prove and expectations are high with a new singer coming in. And we nailed it. The songs speak for themselves, and if you’re a Bad Wolves fan we know you won’t be disappointed.
“So much has happened since Tommy publicly quit Bad Wolves a few months ago – and we disagree with the validity of much of what he has said publicly about our parting of ways – but we would prefer to not look back on the past and instead focus on this new chapter. And most importantly, we’d like to let the music speak for itself. Thanks for believing in Bad Wolves and please join us in welcoming DL to the family. We can’t wait for you to hear what’s coming.”
Bad Wolves formed in 2017 and scored a massive hit with its first single, a cover of The Cranberries’ “Zombie,” in 2018. The band released its debut album, “Disobey,” in 2018 and its second, “N.A.T.I.O.N.,” in 2019. “Zombie” and subsequent singles “Remember When,” “Sober” and “Killing My Slowly” all hit number one on the U.S. mainstream rock radio charts.
Vext is in the midst of launching a career as a solo artist. There is no news yet on a release date for the forthcoming Bad Wolves album.
