WOLFTOOTH have announced a new album!

Tiled Blood & Iron, the upcoming album from the American heavy metal band is their third full-length album and the follow-up to 2020’s Valhalla, and is scheduled to be released in December this year, via Napalm Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “Blood & Iron is the culmination of all the work that we as a band have put into forging our sound over the last four years. Musically, we feel that we’ve honed what works well for us while expanding on what was already there. This album represents a more mature direction, relying on classic heavy metal influence with a strong nod to our proto-metal roots. Lyrically, the album focuses on kings, battle, conquest and myth. These elements together coalesce into a riff-laden slab of heavy metal that we are all proud of.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; The Voyage.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band adds, “the concept of The Voyage was initially about Marco Polo‘s voyage on the Silk Road, but we adapted it to our voyage through our musical careers from young children to now. The boys in the video represent us as kids in the beginning of our voyage, daydreaming about where we are now. All in all, the song is based on the idea of what it takes to reach your destination – the sacrifices, pitfalls, and ultimately the rewards that come along when striving for your goals.”
