Finnish melo death titans Wolfheart unleash new video for ‘Forefathers’ alongside “Draconian Darkness II” EP

Finnish melodic death metal titans Wolfheart have unleashed a new video for ‘Forefathers, ’from their new EP, “Draconian Darkness II,” out now via Reigning Phoenix Music. ‘Forefathers’ lets the dynamic nature of Wolfheart‘s sound shine with a blend of stormy orchestrations, layered vocals (featuring performances by members of Before The Dawn, Suotana and Full House Brew Crew), and surprisingly delicate piano accents. With frigid and ferocious vocal deliveries and a massive chorus, the song spins a tale of revenge in a lonesome, bleak Northern landscape.

Vocalist/guitarist Tuomas Saukkonen comments:

‘Forefathers’ is a musical and lyrical combination of our mythology-themed “King Of The North” [2022] and our latest album “Draconian Darkness,” which painted a bleak and apocalyptic soundscape. Vengeful and violent text meets mighty Nordic riffs and melodies. A perfect partner for the ‘Carnivore’ single!

This five-track release showcases every facet of Wolfheart‘s trademark sound: raw, poetic, and powerfully atmospheric. Featuring two new tracks (including orchestral and acoustic versions), plus a crushing live rendition from their latest album, “Draconian Darkness II” captures the band’s cold grandeur in both studio precision and on-stage intensity. Founder Tuomas Saukkonen continues to refine his vision with haunting melodies, relentless drumming, and evocative storytelling rooted in Northern landscapes. “Draconian Darkness II” is a journey through desolate beauty, bleak emotion, and thundering metal.

“Draconian Darkness II” is Wolfheart at their best: melancholic, massive, and deeply melodic. With new songs, orchestral depth, and raw live energy, this EP is a cold flame burning bright in the dark.

Wolfheart‘s “Draconian Darkness II” EP is out now via Reigning Phoenix Music! Two new tracks (plus orchestral & acoustic versions) and a live cut of crushing Northern metal: cold, poetic, and unforgettable.
