Huntington Beach metal band Leatherwolf formed way back in ’81, and spent their early years on bills with a formative Metallica and Slayer, among others. Their first records, such as the self-titled debut EP which grew into an album, another confusing self-titled release, and Endangered Species, earned them a lot of praise back then, though time hasn’t really been kind. Leatherwolf don’t get the level of respect that they perhaps deserve.
