Wolfbrigade (formerly Wolfpack) are a D-beat crust punk band from Sweden has featured or are featuring members of Asta Kask, To What End?, Today's Overdose, Cosa Nostra, Anti Cimex, Obscure Infinity and Harlequin. Known for their groundbreaking mix of Swedish hardcore punk and early melodic swedish death metal and punk that spawned the way for bands such as Tragedy. Former singer Jonsson was forced to leave the band in 1998. They later recruited their current singer, Micke, who was a childhood friend of Erik, Jocke and Frank and went on to record vocals in Allday Hell. At around the same time, they changed their name from Wolfpack to avoid association with a Swedish prison organization with questionable rightwing views who shared the name. Later in 2002 drummer Frank left and Dadde who was a friend of the band became their new drummer. The band split up in 2004 because of lack of motivation and Micke having surgery for his vocalcord problems.

On January 7, 2007, Wolfbrigade announced on their official myspace profile that they were reuniting, with a new bassplayer, Johan who also play in Today's Overdose, the band that 4/5 of Wolfbrigade started when they broke up. The band released their "comeback" album Prey To The World in June 2007. In Aug/September 2008 their 7th album will be released.
