While the days are getting longer again, Finnish winter metallers Wolfheart — band founder Tuomas Saukkonnen (vocals, guitars), Vageliss Karzis (guitars, vocals), Lauri Silvonen (bass, vocals), and Joonas Kauppinen (drums) — are already preparing to once again spread their melodic death driven “Draconian Darkness” across the continent.
Supporting their latest album of the same name, which was released on September 6th, 2024, through Reigning Phoenix Music, the quartet have announced a 19-date European Tour, leading their way through 10 countries in Fall 2025.
The band recently completed an enormously successful European run alongside Dark Tranquillity, Moonspell and Hiraes, and will return with a set list focusing on their latest success album in autumn – this time as headlining act! Special guests for the upcoming journey will be announced shortly; ticket info and further details are available here.
“It’s absolutely stellar to be able to announce our own European headline tour taking place in September and October 2025. We’re already counting down the days to unleash our full Finnish winter storm fury upon the European stages, and we’ll make sure to deliver our longest sets ever, including a few gems which we’ve never played live before”, states Saukkonen.
