Finnish masters of melancholic brutality, WOLFHEART, are gearing up for the release of their forthcoming seventh studio album “Draconian Darkness” which is due out on September 6, 2024, via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). After recently launching pre-orders for the record, the band now also break the silence even further by launching the official music video for the first digital single, “Grave.” Mellow piano tunes introduce the track before it transforms into a hefty banger. Blending vicious riffing with icy atmosphere and impactful melodies: This song lifts WOLFHEART‘s trademark sound to new heights and makes “Grave” nothing but a must for the band’s future set lists; their current live itinerary can be found below!

Mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen comments, “‘Grave’ was the first song that was written for the album and became the beacon that was leading the whole production of the album. Push the dark elements even further from the light to give maximum contrast to the melodies and huge choruses. From every album we have clear favourites for live songs and ‘Grave’ stands on the podium unchallenged!”
