Wolfheart announce 2025 “Draconian Darkness Over Europe” tour

Author Benedetta Baldin - 19.3.2025

While the days are getting longer again, Finnish winter metallers Wolfheart — band founder Tuomas Saukkonnen (vocals, guitars), Vageliss Karzis (guitars, vocals), Lauri Silvonen (bass, vocals), and Joonas Kauppinen (drums) — are already preparing to once again spread their melodic death driven “Draconian Darkness” across the continent. Supporting their latest album of the same name, which was released on September 6, 2024 through Reigning Phoenix Music, the quartet have announced a 19-date run, leading their way through 10 countries in September and October 2025. The band recently completed an enormously successful European run alongside Dark Tranquillity, Moonspell and Hiraes, and will return with a set list focussing on their latest success album in autumn – this time as headlining act! Special guests for the upcoming journey will be announced shortly; ticket info and further details are available at https://www.wolfheartmetal.com/.

It’s absolutely stellar to be able to announce our own European headline tour taking place in September and October 2025. We’re already counting down the days to unleash our full Finnish winter storm fury upon the European stages, and we’ll make sure to deliver our longest sets ever, including a few gems which we’ve never played live before. Tuomas Saukkonen

The many faces of melodic death metal – review of Wolfheart’s “Draconian Darkness”

Music is surprising. Metal is even more surprising than most music, because one day you can say you don’t like this genre or this band, and the next day you might actually become a fan. This is exactly what happened to me in relation to melodic death metal. Yesterday I used to say that it...
