Finnish melodic death metallers WOLFHEART have unleashed a brand new video for Forefathers, taken from their freshly released EP Draconian Darkness II, out now via Reigning Phoenix Music.
Forefathers highlights the dynamic range of WOLFHEART’s sound, weaving storm-laden orchestrations, layered guest vocals (featuring members of Before the Dawn, Suotana, and Full House Brew Crew), and haunting piano accents into the band’s trademark cold fury. With ferocious vocal passages, icy melodies, and a strong chorus, the track tells a tale of revenge set against a bleak northern horizon.
Vocalist and founder 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.”
Watch the video for Forefathers here:
Draconian Darkness II is a five-track release that captures every facet of WOLFHEART’s identity: raw, poetic, and atmospheric. Featuring two brand-new songs alongside orchestral and acoustic reimaginings, plus a crushing live performance, the EP channels desolate beauty and storm-forged aggression. From the melancholic weight of Grave (Orchestral) to the blazing fury of Carnivore, this is WOLFHEART at their most refined and resonant.
