Finland's Wolfheart have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a melodic mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Draconian Darkness" which will be released in September by Raging Phoenix Music.
A very epic and symphonic sound starts off the album which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly death metal growls and elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs.
Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while clear vocals are also added into certain sections of the album. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with t he faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.
When tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they add more of a black metal style to the recording. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clean playing and acoustic guitars also added on some of the tracks. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the wonders and pearls of the untamed northern wilderness.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Wolfheart and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ancient Cold" "Death Leads The Way" "Grave" and "The Gale". 8 out of 10.
