The lyrics are inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s movie of the same name and the 16th century poem “The Dark Night of the Soul”. A line from the movie sums it up well: “The Hour of the Wolf is the hour between night and dawn. It is the hour when most people die, when sleep is deepest, when nightmares are most real. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their deepest fear, when ghosts and demons are most powerful. The Hour of the Wolf is also the hour when most children are born.” “Everyone has their wolf hour in their dark night of the soul,” mentions Daniel Stunges as he composes the track.

As a bridge between the present and the past, Midnight Guest tunes 1970s heavy rock and occult rock with a modern look. The project created in 2020 by guitarist Daniel Stunges joins the vocals of Kjetil Landsgard, straight from Canada, and musicians Tadeu Correa on drums and Eduardo Oliveira on bass. The genesis of Midnight Guest comes from the desire to create within the occult rock genre, popularized by names like Black Sabbath and Ghost, but which also had a punk attitude mixed with metal, as is the case with Motörhead and Misfits. This more analogue sound guided the entire production.
