To quote the wildly popular adage: The winter is coming.
After years of writing and playing for innumerable bands and projects singer, composer, producer, lyricist and multi-instrumentalist Tuomas Saukkonen, towards the end of 2012 decided to foil all his bands and projects and start anew, founding a melodic death metal solo project Wolfheart. On the project's debut album “Winterborn” Saukkonen played all instruments (with Mika Lammassaari as his sole guest for guitar solos) and also self-financed the album release in late 2013. Surprising everyone except himself, Saukkonens' Wolfheart entered the Official Finnish Album Chart on position #7, in the process selling out two print runs of the album and reaching the top of Finnish Indie Chart. To cap off a phenomenal year for Wolfheart, “Winterborn” was elected the best debut album of 2013 in the annual Record Store X's customers’ poll. A statement was indeed made.
A storm is brewing and it isn't about to abate any time soon. Prepare for a new Aeon of Cold!
