Some artists write songs. Eric Scott builds entire people. His new track “Wolfstein”, with a guest verse from Smoke DZA, plays like a deep dive into a fictional figure shaped by heartbreak, not beats per minute. The concept loosely pulls from Frankenstein, but don’t expect any thunder or mad science vibes. Instead, Scott takes the idea of a “created being” and replaces the sci-fi with something messier-emotions. Wolfstein is the result of personal wreckage, stitched together not with wires but with what’s left of someone after the love runs out.
Production-wise, it’s stripped-back and heavy with atmosphere. The synths don’t just play- they linger. The drums don’t hit- they lurk. And the bassline? Slow and dragging, like it’s carrying something too heavy. Scott’s vocal delivery is understated, but captivating, like he’s not trying to sell the emotion- he’s just living in it. Smoke DZA slides in like a ghost, matching the tone without overdoing it.
Then there’s the video, which could double as a short art film. Shot in harsh black and white, it follows Scott moving through moody scenes in all-black, surrounded by masked or faceless figures. It doesn’t spell anything out- and that’s kind of the point. It’s less about narrative and more about creating a feeling. The whole thing looks like grief shot through a fashion lens.
“Wolfstein” is a riveting release that feels like it came from somewhere personal, maybe even a little uncomfortable. And that’s exactly why it sticks.
The single is from his upcoming album Wolfstein, set to drop this Halloween.
Watch the video now and decide for yourself who- or what- Wolfstein really is.
