Alpha Wolves of the Heavy Metal project WOLFPAKK are the full blooded musicians Michael Voss (ex-Casanova, Mad Max) and Mark Sweeney (ex-Crystal Ball).
Voss and Sweeney have known each other for a long time, always having in mind and discussion to start a project together one day. Since Michael Voss was producer for Mark Sweeney's 2nd solo album in 2009, it has finally happened that the two found time for this collaboration. Still during these recordings the two rockers made plans for a Metal project, one of extraordinary kind: the best musicians of the Hard Rock & Metal genre should participate, to create a high class album under the aegis of the two leaders Voss and Sweeney. The goal was not only to have the guest musicians on the album but also to feature their respective characteristics and strengths. Thanks to Michael Voss' extensive network gathered over the years as a producer, within very short time 30 musicians from all over the world joined the project.
