Bad Wolves' first record Disobey was released in May 2018 via Eleven Seven Records. In 2017, it was announced that Bathory expanded into artist management and took a new band, Bad Wolves, under his wing.

In 2013, the band was nominated and won another Golden God Award (Song of the Year) with "Lift Me Up". The award was the third Golden God trophy the band received (the first was for 2009 Best New Artist and the second for 2010 Breakthrough Artist, respectively).
