The founders of Zilkwulf, Joshua and Raven (formerly known as Bonded By Darkness) began writing music together in the spring of 2022. After creative differences and major life events they decided to change the band name.  This band name has deep ancestral meaning for the both of them.  Raven has said, “Sometimes you have to know when to start over.  We felt the change in our hearts.  We evolved our musical writing style.  It was time.”   The band considers themselves, dark gothic industrial metal.
