Wolfpac (stylized as WOLFPAC) is an American rap rock group formed in 1997 by Michael Bowe, who uses the stage name Daddy Long Legs. He founded Wolfpac after departing Bloodhound Gang. Wolfpac musical style fuses hip hop beats and metal samples.[1] Its lyrical style draws from horrorcore, focusing on subjects such as resurrection, revenge, necrophilia, and standing up for one's own beliefs.[2] The group's live performances from time to time include a DJ, guitar player and strippers.[3][4]
Wolfpac released its debut LP, Somethin Wicked This Way Comes, on May 18, 1999, through Chord Recordings. Daddy Long Legs claims that he funded the LP's production by robbing graves and selling the bones to occult stores.[2] Wolfpac expanded its cult following through appearances on The Howard Stern Show[5] and Opie and Anthony, and released the album, Evil Is... on January 16, 2001, on Megaforce Records.
