After a six-year hiatus, Wolfgang in December 2008 released their 7th studio album entitled Villains. They began working on the album in 2007, and most of the interaction between band members was done through e-mail.[8] Wolf Gemora had stated that he would not play the drums for the songs included in this album because he was busy with his band, Lokomotiv.[9]
On December 10, 2008, the band launched Villains at \"The Black Christmas Project\", a live performance at Eastwood City Central Plaza.[2] It is also featured their latest drummer Francis Aquino.
On March 19, 2009, they followed up with another live performance at the Music Museum entitled \"Two Sides Live\" along with Razorback. The band started off with an electric set then segued into an acoustic set midway with Tirso Ripoll on guitars and finished with yet another electric set. As a bonus to fans, the band also played seldom or never-before-heard-live songs like \"I...,\" \"A New Mother Nature\" and \"Cathedral Of Space.\"
