Orchestra of Wolves is the debut album by English hardcore punk band Gallows. It was produced by Banks of fellow Hertfordshire band Haunts and released by In at the Deep End Records on 25 September 2006. A limited edition was re-issued in the United Kingdom in June 2007 with a bonus disc featuring live session tracks, two new songs and two covers. It was also re-issued in North America by Epitaph Records on July 10, 2007, with four bonus tracks ("Sick of Feeling Sick", "Black Heart Queen", "Nervous Breakdown", and "Staring at the Rude Bois").[http://www.epitaph.com/artists/album/518/ Epitaph Records: Gallows - Orchestra of Wolves] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080205021219/http://www.epitaph.com/artists/album/518/ |date=2008-02-05 }}

Before the recording of this album began, guitarist Paul Laventure left the band. As a result, the album was recorded as a four-piece with Laurent Barnard, the band's main songwriter, recording all of the guitar parts himself.{{Cite web | url=http://wewerepromisedsomuch.tumblr.com/post/108546826660/interview-gallows |title = Tumblr| date=19 January 2015 }}
