Glorious Wolf, a captivating Dutch studio project led by multi-instrumental Ruud Dielen, embodies a profound passion for Prog Rock. Drawing inspiration from the symphonic, psychedelic, and progressive rock of the 70s, the music echoes the influences of iconic bands like Pink Floyd, Camel, Yes, Rush, as well as experimental sounds of King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Frank Zappa. Dielen’s musical journey began after years in various rock and experimental bands, culminating in the release of the instrumental album “Aquarius” in 2017. Following dedicated years of refining studio techniques and equipment, “Mysterious Traveler (2024/OOB Records),” delves into the transformative nature of our world, addressing societal unrest and climate change. Featuring 3 vocal and 4 instrumental tracks, the album showcases collaboration with talented artists like Kike Paglia, Frank van der Borg, and Celia van Onna, highlighting Ruud Dielen’s prowess in instruments, compositions, and arrangements. With recording and mixing assistance from Toon de Quant and Sjef Eikemans, and masterful mastering by Toon de Quant, Glorious Wolf’s “Mysterious Traveler” promises a melodic journey across rock, progressive, and experimental realms. Artwork by Ed Unitsky adds a visually striking dimension to this musical odyssey. OOB Records will reissue the back-catalogue album, Zodiac and the rerelease of the December/2023 self released album, Mysterious Traveler.
