Finnish frontrunners WOLFHEART have proven themselves to be one of metal’s most captivating acts of northern heritage and one of the fastest rising bands in the international melodic death metal scene. Over the course of the last two years alone, the band has remained relentless with the release of their highly acclaimed full-length, Wolves of Karelia (2020) and Skull Soldiers EP (2021), gaining massive praise from fans and press alike with their icy tales of battle and triumph. The band released a new studio album through Napalm Records in September 2022. WOLFHEART toured Europe as part of ULTIMA RATIO FEST 2022 with MOONSPELL, INSOMNIUM and BORNAGAR in September-October 2022.

Ten years after the release of their latest album Rise of the Phoenix, BEFORE THE DAWN are back in the studio to record their new album, due for release in 2023. Instead of riding the wave of nostalgia and looking back at the old releases, the band are looking far into the future and they continue where they left off in 2013 - with a reinforced line-up that can jump on festival stages and tour buses with a brand new album. Voice of Finland 2022 brought the biggest change in the line-up so far, when finalist Paavo Laapotti took over all vocal duties in the band. His majestic version of "Deadsong" impressed all members and especially songwriter Tuomas, who immediately started planning a project with Paavo. After the first song for Paavo was finished and mixed, the first idea that came to Tuomas' mind was: "This sounds like BEFORE THE DAWN, but in an upgraded version". And there was no coming back from that thought. "Downhearted" is the first single. The guys are in the studio recording a new album, which is scheduled for release in early summer 2023.
