sachavonkarl74 It is Wolfheart's best and untopped album in my humble opinion. Seen them live last year promoting their "King" album, but this one here is just difficult to surpass. "Wolves" is a blend of riff-driven melo-death, black metal and orchestral arrangements and this is what defines and sets Wolfheart apart from many others, but it kind of stopped with this album, is what I am trying to say... Favorite track: Ashes.

pghm Some call this "Winter Metal", which sounds pretty accurate to me. Only from a nordic country could something like this become. A blend of black metal and melodic death metal, with blast beats and long monotonic guitars blended with melodies and crushing vocals.

I'd listen to the album as a whole, not some individual track. Let it take you to the middle of icy nature. Favorite track: Hail of Steel.

lexie I come back to this album time and again. Such a blistering, savage pack of viking melodies. Favorite track: The Hammer.

about

Emerging from dusky woods, the untamed and forlorn nature of Finnish quartet WOLFHEART leads them to one of the most picturesque regions of their home country, Karelia. Just as wildlife itself maintains harmony through a violent clash of the beautiful and unpredictable, Wolves of Karelia explores the previously coined genre of winter metal - smoothly connecting a traditional approach towards extreme genres (‘Reaper’) with atmospheric or acoustic details (‘the Hammer’, ‘Horizon on Fire’), crowned by the instrumental interlude, ‘Eye of the Storm’. With the noted complexity of their fifth album, WOLFHEART master the art of sonic storytelling through eight multi-faceted stylistic eposes with a virtuosity of riffs, guitar solos, and abrupt tempo-changes. Above all, however, Wolves of Karelia attack with complex arrangements and melodically-grasped melancholy, creating a release as bewitching and intense as it is atmospherically resonant.
