Wolfheart Unveil “Skull Soldiers,” Announce New EP

Wolfheart are gearing up to release a new EP, Skull Soldiers, the follow-up to the Finnish melodic death metal outfit’s latest full-length, Wolves of Karelia, which came out last year. The EP consists of two new songs, “Hereditary” and the title track, and two rarities. 

Frontman Tuomas Saukkonen explains of the song:

“I did a lot of research about the Winter War for the ‘Wolves of Karelia’ album, but after the album was out, a few reporters gave me some additional details during the interview cycle and it turns out I managed to miss some really cool hidden gems. One of them was a small ‘elite group,’ or ‘Winter War special unit,’ who called themselves Skull Soldiers – ninja level soldiers who painted skulls and skeletons on their helmets. I really felt that I had to write some kind of a sequel for ‘Wolves of Karelia,’ and since lockdown brought a lot of free time, we decided to make an EP while waiting for the world to open up again for touring.”
