Wolfheart release new lyric video for ‘Horizon On Fire’

WOLFHEART have released a new lyric video!

The new lyric video, for the track Horizon On Fire, is taken from the Finnish melodic death metal band’s brand new album, Wolves of Karelia, which was released back in April.

Speaking about the song and the new lyric video, band mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen says, “of the entire album, Horizon on Fire is the song that best underlines how outnumbered the Finnish army was with only 32 tanks against over 2500 Russian tanks, 114 aircrafts against Russian 3800 aircrafts and manpower almost three times the enemy during one of the coldest winters of those times. I was born in the Karelian region and my father’s family farm is only 7km from the border that was drawn after the war, so I also have a very strong personal connection to those historical events. So, lines like below were written purely to honor the sacrifice of the generation that fought the war.

In the shelter of the woods
Edges of lakes and fields ages have stood
Winters fury on our side
We can’t be defeated
We have to hold the line

This lyric video was done by our graphics guy, Nikos Stavridakis of VisionBlack, who has done all of our album graphics for the previous three albums. We wanted to give him a bigger role and get him involved in our video production too so he could bring the album graphic work into life in video format, and underline the Finnish Winter War theme even more deeply.”
