The Band

Raised By Wolves was formed in 1984 by Michael Balch (guitar),Rick Crinella (bass),and James Paul Luna (vocals). The band's name was inspired by the 1975 film of the same name, which tells the story of a group of children who are raised by wolves in the wilderness. Raised By Wolves' music was a mix of heavy metal and punk, with lyrics that were often violent and misogynistic.

The band's only album, 'Raised By Wolves,' was released in 1985 on the Metal Blade Records label. The album's cover art was a photograph of a naked woman being boiled in oil. The image was taken from a 1972 documentary about the Vietnam War. The album's lyrics were equally disturbing, with songs about rape, murder, and torture.

The Murders

In 1986, Raised By Wolves was arrested and charged with the murder of two women. The victims, Dawn Wilson and Robin Slawson, were both friends of the band members. Wilson was found dead in her apartment, and Slawson was found dead in a ditch.

The band members admitted to killing the women, but they claimed that they were acting in self-defense. They said that Wilson had attacked them with a knife, and that Slawson had tried to help Wilson. The jury did not believe the band's story, and they were convicted of murder.

The Aftermath

The Raised By Wolves trial was a media sensation. The band's music was banned in several countries, and the album cover was deemed too graphic for public display. The band's members were sentenced to life in prison.

The story of Raised By Wolves is a cautionary tale about the dangers of violence and misogyny. The band's music was a reflection of their own dark and disturbed minds. Their actions led to the deaths of two innocent women, and they will spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Legacy

The Raised By Wolves album is still considered one of the most disturbing heavy metal albums ever released. The album's cover art is iconic, and it has been used in countless articles and documentaries about heavy metal music. The band's music is still listened to by a small cult following, but it is unlikely that Raised By Wolves will ever be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The story of Raised By Wolves is a sad and tragic one. It is a reminder that violence and misogyny are never acceptable, and that they can have deadly consequences.
