S.13 E.19 – Tuomas Saukkonen of Wolfheart

All hail the KING OF THE NORTH. We are happy to welcome back frontman Tuomas Saukkonen on IUF from one of Finland's finest melodeath outfits, Wolfheart. The highly-anticipated 6th studio album, “King Of The North,” encompasses all the hard work the band has forged up until now. After releasing “Wolves Of Karelia '' and “Skull Soldiers” over the pandemic, Tuomas talks about his musical approach to following up those highly-praised albums, and how he and his bandmates may have just one-upped themselves yet again. A big part of this record deals with a change-up to add a few cleans into the tracks, making this Wolfheart's most diverse album ever. Bringing in the likes of other notable metal musicians such as Jesse Leach and Karl Sanders certainly added another layer in the album's arsenal, and Tuomas describes the planning process to bring Jesse and Karl into the production. Filled with a battlecry unmatched that will get your heart racing and the blood pumping, “King Of The North” serves as a quintessential addition to the melodic death metal genre that will be talked about for years to come. Tune in now to our conversation with Tuomas and be sure to buy and stream the new album from Wolfheart, out now worldwide via Napalm Records.
