Behind the name...

THE WOLF YOU FEED is a musical project that will take you on a journey through the wilderness of Nature and Human.

Envisioned by bass player and songwriter Grégory Breton, the first album of The Wolf You Feed “…And the Wild Returns” was recorded with the contribution of the skilled and renowned musicians Karim Attoumane on guitars and production (The Etherist, CharlElie Couture, Zuul FX …), Aurélien Ouzoulias on drums (Mörglbl, Satan Jokers, Zuul FX, Disconnected, …) and Nash Vigier, a complete artist, on vocals.

Deeper Meaning...

The name of this musical project comes from the old Native American “Tale of the Two-wolves” whose origin is however unknown and contested. This tale, widely shared on social networks these days, features two wolves fighting each other, one embodying negative emotions and attitudes (such as anger, envy, jealousy, sadness, regret, greed, resentment, superiority, arrogance, self-pity and lies) and the other, all positive feelings and states of mind (like joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, benevolence, empathy, generosity, compassion and truth). This story has several epilogues that we let you find out but in the context of this musical project, this name reflects this internal battle and the desire to freely write and play different kind of songs, regardless of the music genre, whether they are bright, optimistic and joyful or melancholic, dark and brutal, whether they are straight, epic or progressive.

Our debut album...

Our first album “…And the Wild Returns” is a call to bounce back, fight with a smile and sing our victories against gloomy and destructive adversities. The album will be available on Feb. 28 on streaming and download platforms and as a limited creative digipack distributed by the independent record label MusikÖ-Eye.

Derrière ce nom...

THE WOLF YOU FEED est un projet musical natif de France qui vous fera voyager à travers la nature sauvage de notre monde et de l’homme.

Imaginé par le bassiste et compositeur Grégory Breton, le projet et son premier album “…And the Wild Returns” a été enregistré avec la contribution de Karim Attoumane aux guitares et à la production (CharlElie Couture, The Etherist, Zuul FX …), d’Aurélien Ouzoulias à la batterie (Mörglbl, Satan Jokers, Disconnected, …) et de Nash Vigier, un artiste aux multiples facettes, au chant.

Signification profonde...

Le nom de ce projet dérive de l’ancien “Conte des deux loups” amérindien dont l’origine est pourtant inconnue et contestée. Ce conte, largement partagé sur les réseaux sociaux de nos jours, met en vedette deux loups qui se battent l’un contre l’autre, l’un incarnant des émotions et attitudes négatives (telles que la colère, l’envie, la jalousie, la tristesse, le regret, l’avidité, le ressentiment, la supériorité, l’arrogance, l’apitoiement sur soi et le mensonge) et l’autre, tous les sentiments et états d’esprit positifs (comme la joie, la paix, l’amour, l’espoir, la sérénité, la générosité, la bienveillance, l’empathie, la compassion et la vérité). Cette histoire a plusieurs épilogues que nous vous laissons découvrir mais dans le contexte de ce projet musical, ce nom reflète cette bataille interne et le désir d’écrire et de jouer librement différents types de chansons, quel que soit le genre musical, qu’elles soient lumineuses, optimistes et joyeuses ou mélancoliques, sombres et brutales, qu’elles soient directes, épiques ou progressives.

Notre premier album...

Notre premier album “…And the Wild Returns” est un appel à se relever, se battre avec le sourire et chanter nos victoires contre les épreuves sombres et destructrices. L’album sera disponible le 28 février sur les plateformes de streaming et de téléchargement et sous la forme d’un digipack original en édition limitée distribué par le label indépendant MusikÖ-Eye.
