Multi-platinum rockers Bad Wolves have officially welcomed into the fold celebrated singer-songwriter Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz as the group's new singer, leading the band into the foreseeable future filled with live shows and life returning to a new form of 'normal.'
The line up announcement comes just a few months after former lead singer Tommy Vext's departure from the band in early January. Bad Wolves shared the good news on social media today, while also hinting that a new record is currently in the works.

In a statement, the band says, "DL is one of the most talented and hard-working people we have ever had the pleasure to know. He is a team player, a creative force, and overall a great human being who fits perfectly with our BW family. It feels incredible to be surrounded with such positive energy and the music we’ve made is certainly reflective of this new-found optimism and collaborative spirit. This new album shows a more cohesive and unique reflection of the band. There is a lot to prove and expectations are high with a new singer coming in. And we nailed it. The songs speak for themselves, and if you’re a Bad Wolves fan we know you won’t be disappointed. So much has happened since Tommy publicly quit Bad Wolves a few months ago - and we disagree with the validity of much of what he has said publicly about our parting of ways - but we would prefer to not look back on the past and instead focus on this new chapter. And most importantly, we’d like to let the music speak for itself. Thanks for believing in Bad Wolves and please join us in welcoming DL to the family. We can’t wait for you to hear what’s coming."
Metal fans will know DL as a founding member and lead guitarist of The Acacia Strain, in which he was a member until 2013, as well as projects with All That Remains, Legion, and For the Fallen Dreams. DL began his relationship with Bad Wolves collaborating with them on their 2019 studio album N.A.T.I.O.N.
Bad Wolves' third studio offering, Dear Monsters -- their first with DL -- is expected to hit shelves and streaming services later this year via Better Noise Music.
