Wolfbrigade (formerly Wolfpack) are a D-beat crust punk band from Sweden that has included members of Asta Kask, To What End?, Today's Overdose, Cosa Nostra, Anti Cimex, Obscure Infinity and Harlequin. They are known for their groundbreaking mix of Swedish hardcore punk and melodic death metal that paved the way for bands such as Tragedy. Former singer Jonsson was forced to leave the band in 1998. They later recruited their current singer, Micke, who was a childhood friend of Erik, Jocke and Frank and went on to record vocals in Allday Hell. At around the same time, they changed their name from Wolfpack to avoid association with a Swedish neo-Nazi prison gang who shared their name. In 2002, drummer Frank left and Dadde who was a friend of the band became their new drummer. The band split up in 2004 because of lack of motivation and Micke having surgery for his vocalcord problems. Four of the members started a new group, Today's Overdose.

On January 7, 2007, Wolfbrigade announced on their Myspace profile that they were reuniting. They have a new bass player, Johan, who also plays in Today's Overdose. The band released their "comeback" album, "Prey To The World", in June 2007.
