Dug up this thread to express my gratitude for the OP's words which echo my own deep appreciation for the Grey Wolves very closely. One of the first artists that I truly fell in love with when I first started listening to Industrial music. In my mind, one of the few groups to carry what I would consider a "true," "pure" "Industrial" ethos, aesthetic and sound and have maintained it with great consistency over many years. Cassette material from the 1980's is especially cherished by me for the very warm, dark, claustrophobic and more "ambient" approach. Exemplified on tracks like 'Suite Mentalle' or 'Rune Filled Eyes' on The Atrocity Exhibition. Relaxing, but so utterly full of tension. Absolutely perfect in my mind, like demented Tangerine Dream evoking dreary images of Thatcher's England. Huge inspiration to me in so many ways.
Have enjoyed basically all of their output and thought Exit Strategy was pretty good, but certainly not the farewell I'd like from such an inspiring group. Grey Wolves forever!
