As Finnish metal titans Wolfheart gear up for the release of their seventh studio album, Draconian Darkness (September 6), they’ve offered a fierce taste of what’s to come with their latest single, “Trial By Fire.”
“Trial By Fire” launches one into a torrent of powerful riffs and relentless double bass rhythms. The song’s opening riff sets a commanding pace, which transitions into a blast-beat section that propels the intensity even further. Wolfheart’s trademark blend of crushing heaviness and atmospheric sound culminates in a track that is both brutal and engaging.
Tuomas Saukkonen, the band’s frontman and primary creative force, describes “Trial By Fire” as the heaviest track in Wolfheart’s career, underscoring its significance as a showcase of the band’s extreme metal prowess. The single is a fitting prelude to the album’s anticipated release and highlights the band’s ability to push their sound to new, formidable heights.
