[The Painted Wolves have unfortunately split up by now.]

We asked Mattias of the Swedish vegan hardcore metal punk band PAINTED WOLVES (bandcamp) if he could word for us what ethical veganism implies to him:

“‘If I can do some good I want to do it. If I have a choice I want to make it. It’s my human responsibility.’ Brilliant words by a brilliant band, one of my favorites ever: EMBRACE. If we have the possibility to minimize suffering and damage in this world then why should we not try? If we have a choice then why should we not make it? We’d all grow and evolve in a world without barriers. Until the last lock breaks none of us are free.”

Our favourite track on Painted Wolves album S/T is ‘Serve the Serpent’
