GODDESS is love, it's lust, sex, desire, devotion, adoration and hopeless, eternal connection. It's both crippling affection and white, hot eternal love. It’s the dizzying realization that this devotion is infinite, both eye opening and blinding at the same time, it will burn as hot as the sun but also leave you chilled to the bone. This unending connection will lead you to the ends of the earth, through time and space with an energy that simply cannot be destroyed.

Originally penned in their earliest days, ‘Bonfires’ was a live staple but never made it to an official release — until now. To celebrate a full decade of Written By Wolves, the band decided to resurrect it from the vaults and give it a cinematic 2025 reimagining that sounds bigger, bolder, and more alive than ever.

This track is probably the most personal and emotional track from our upcoming album. It tells the story of the day Mikey’s Dad died and everything he went through to try and be at his bedside before he passed away. This song documents everything he felt and thought in that time and the emphatic plea for him to please, just breathe until he could get to him...

BURN is a tongue in cheek look at the state of the world, kind of one of those if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry type moments. No matter where you turn right now you find the world in complete disarray, and it doesn’t take too cynical of a mind to think that humanity is doomed… This song plays with the idea that perhaps we have let it go too far, we are beyond the tipping point and the only thing left to do is to sit back and watch it burn…

Written By Wolves are a boundary-pushing
cinematic rock band from New Zealand, known for their explosive live shows and
massive global streaming presence. After debuting with Secrets in 2019
and collaborating with major rock artists on The Collab Project, the
band evolved into a darker, more cinematic era with their acclaimed 2024
sophomore album The Lighthouse. Now boasting over 100 million Spotify
streams and 460,000 monthly listeners, 152,000 YouTube subscribers, and 138 million views, they’ve toured internationally, shared stages with global heavyweights, and
have become one of New Zealand’s most-streamed rock acts. With new music scheduled for release in 2026 on the back of their incredibly successful tour of Europe and the UK supporting Swedish Electronic Rock act Solence, Written By Wolves are no longer New Zealand’s best-kept secret - they’re rapidly becoming one of the most compelling modern rock exports on the global stage. With a proven international audience, explosive live reputation, and a bold cinematic vision still unfolding, Written By Wolves are the band to watch in 2026 and beyond.
