Out of the Dark is the sixth studio album by Norwegian glam metal band Wig Wam, released on 10 February 2023. The album was announced in December 2022, along with a release of the title track as a single.[1] Out of the Dark was produced by the band's guitarist Trond Holter and recorded at his home studio, Spoon Bay Studios.

Background and recording

Following a resurgence in popularity after the band's song "Do Ya Wanna Taste It" from the Non Stop Rock'n Roll album was used as the theme song for the HBO Max television series Peacemaker and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in Norway, Wig Wam started writing songs for a new album in the first half of 2022.[2] [3] The album was produced by the band's guitarist Trond Holter, who along with singer Åge Sten Nilsen and bassist Bernt Jansen wrote a majority of the album's songs. Recordings took place at Holter's home studio, Spoon Bay Studio, in Halden.

Release and promotion

Out of the Dark was released on 10 February, 2023, with three singles preceding its release: "Out of the Dark", "High n Dry" and "Forevermore". Wig Wam went on tour in support of the album both before and after its release, which included shows in Norway and their first tours in Australia and the United States.[4] [5] [6]
