Wolfshead is a Heavy Metal band from Oulu, Finland. The band consists of Tero Laine – vocals, Ari Rajaniemi – guitar, Vesa Karppinen – bass and Jussi Risto – drums.

Over the last 35+ years since I was old enough to understand the music business and where different bands come from. I have paid close attention – in general – to Europe, as there is a lot of brilliant bands out there, especially in the Scandinavian countries, like Finland where Wolfshead comes from.

When Wolfshead sent me their album Leaden through, I was like OK, what you got? and when I put the album on for the first time, so I could get a general vibe of it, my initial reaction I was like Meh, on the vocals but I liked the music, but after a couple more listens, and I gave them a fair chance to impress me, I was like Yeah I’m starting to like the vocals now. The vocals are perfect for the genre that they are going for, which is Heavy Metal.

The songs that I have found that I liked or found that are interesting are: Vukodlak, Children Shouldn’t Play With, Purifier, When the Stars Are Right, Division of the Damned, Winds Over Potter’s Field, I like this track as it is a good little one minute fifty-four track, it is very atmospheric, plus it showcases that they can turn their hand to record something different. The_Hangman, I like this is, as it reminds me a little of early Black Sabbath with the Doom vibe going on with the guitars, bass and drums.

Overall, they have managed to make a new fan, as I come to really enjoy the Leaden album, as it has got good musicianship on the instruments and pretty cool vocals. If you are a fan of Heavy Metal or looking for a band to get into I would recommend that you go and check out Wolfshead on their Facebook page.

I would give Wolfshead and the Leaden album a 4.5 out of 5, a really good album.
