Summer may be just beginning, but Finnish melodic death metal maestros WOLFHEART are already looking ahead to the release of their new album Draconian
Darkness. Recorded at Deep Noise Studios and produced, mixed, and mastered by the band's long-time collaborator Saku Moilanen, the album will be released on September 6, 2024, via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), just as the somber season returns.
The album's first single, "Grave," captures the raw intensity of dark winter nights combined with the majestic beauty of nature. You can listen to the track now here: https://wolfheart.rpm.link/gravePR
Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn1O6aaRMIYVocalist/guitarist Tuomas comments on the single: "Grave was the first song that was written for the album and became the beacon that was leading the whole production of the album. Push the dark elements even further from the light to give maximum contrast to the melodies and huge choruses. From every album we have clear favourites for live songs and Grave stands on the podium unchallenged."
