After years of pouring his creative juices to innumerable projects, in the end of 2012 Saukkonen eventually screeched them all into a halt. Thenceforth he's focused on just one brainchild, his labour of love, Wolfheart the musical entity and form of expression that finally allows him to channel all his musical genius to just one outlet. Be the approach melodic and hopeful, acoustic and fragile, harsh black/death metal or atmospheric doom, Winterborn has it all, in a mix like of which you haven't heard before. There is a reason why Spinefarm picked this gem up.
"After all the blood, sweat and tears poured into the self-released/self-financed debut Winterborn, it is truly amazing to have a worldwide release for the album and I could not think of a better label for the job than renowned Spinefarm," Tuomas said. "It's super exciting times, since, while counting days for the re-release of Winterborn, the second Wolfheart album Shadow World is almost ready and 2015 will be a year of two albums out."
The fittingly named group's devastatingly excellent debut album could be labelled winter metal every ice-cold note of it inspired, well-thought out and breathing in perfect equilibrium with the surrounding harsh nature; brutal as the frozen landscapes it paints on the canvas of your mind, yet beating with the warmth of a wild beast's heart. And deep within the brutality of it all there are details like in snowflakes; intricate, delicate, beautiful.
Like the sun rays on a snowdrift promise spring, the coldness of Winterborn can mesmerise you.
Freezing your balls off has never been this pleasant before.
