Less than a month remains until Finnish winter metallers WOLFHEART release their seventh studio album, “Draconian Darkness,” through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM) on September 6, 2024. A few days ago, the band introduce their new single, “Trial By Fire”, with intense fervour, showcasing their signature style. ‘Trial By Fire’ throws listeners straight into their furnace with a powerful riff and double bass passage, captivating them with an irresistable groove. This leads to an immersive, blast beat-driven section before the song finally releases its grip, having subjected fans to WOLFHEART’s uncompromising test.

Mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen (vocals, guitars) shares, “‘Trial By Fire’ is not just the heaviest song on the new album but definitely the heaviest song of the whole WOLFHEART career. So as a celebration of this pinnacle of massiveness, it had to be one of the singles.”

Accompanied by extensive touring activities, which will begin on the album’s release date, the 9-track album promises to elevate the band’s intensity to unprecedented levels while honouring their melancholic roots with their chilling signature melodies.
