Max Vanderwolf, a pioneering artist known for his dynamic and ever-evolving musical career, is set to release his highly anticipated new single, "A Time to Die" on March 19th. The track, born from a moment of turbulence—both literal and figurative—marks the second of six singles slated for the first half of the year, leading up to a full-length album later in 2025.

"There was a time in my European life when all my travel was paid for. Living in close proximity to the wonderfully diverse European continental nations, it was easy to pick up a cheap flight and go anywhere. But when you're midair, the plane bouncing around in turbulence, you start questioning your own frivolous motivations. ‘A Time to Die’ was written in Groningen, NL, after a particularly uncomfortable flight to Amsterdam. 'Can it make much sense, tossed in turbulence, with the ones you love so far behind?'"

Vanderwolf's career has been a kaleidoscope of exploration and reinvention, from his formative years in New York's underground music scene to his impactful time in London and, more recently, Los Angeles. His journey through post-punk, hardcore, psychedelic, and avant-garde genres has established him as a boundary-pushing figure in contemporary music.

After making his mark in New York with bands like King of Kings and Naked Sun, Vanderwolf relocated to London, where he led the critically acclaimed band Last Man Standing. Their 2008 debut album earned praise from Mojo and Uncut, with the band performing at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading, and Bestival.

During his time in the UK, Vanderwolf launched his solo project, collaborating with legendary musicians like Robert Wyatt and David Allen of Soft Machine. His debut EP When the Fire Grows Cold/Extinction! and album 12 Little Killers showcased his unparalleled versatility, drawing comparisons to David Bowie, The Jam, and Cat Stevens.

Relocating to Los Angeles during the pandemic marked a turning point in Vanderwolf’s artistic journey. He recorded the critically lauded concept album The Great Bewilderment, chronicling his personal and creative rebirth. Featuring contributions from renowned guitarist Adrian Utley of Portishead, the album was celebrated for its depth and emotional resonance.

With "A Time to Die", Vanderwolf continues to redefine his artistry, blending introspection with innovation. The single offers a glimpse into the creative heights he has reached, carried by Chris Cordoba's searing guitar synthesizer, which rips through the track with visceral energy, while Sam Sallon's textured keyboard arrangements add a haunting brilliance.
