Wolftooth
Hometown: Richmond, Indiana
Album: Blood & Iron, out December 3 via Napalm Records
Everything about Blood & Iron is about gleeful escapism. Mining a wealth of fantasy legends and tales, it’s a record that will transport you to a time when dragons were real, and breakfasts happened twice a day. Musically, those who miss early The Sword, or want epic stoner doom that knows how to pick up the pace, will feel at home. Everything is big, bigger, and huge on the record, and that came from the fact that the members’ familiarity is their friend. Drummer Johnny Harrod expands:
“I think the 25-plus years of friendship we all share was a big advantage to having a good chemistry from day one. At least three out of four of us had been in bands together at some point since the late ’90s. So, when we decided to form Wolftooth in 2017, it was purely for fun at first, but it wasn’t long before we knew we had something special to share. With Blood & Iron being our first major label release, we wanted to really dial in what the Wolftooth sound is compared to our first two albums. We weren’t able to tour at all on our last album due to lockdowns, so we were lucky we had the extra time to put into the songwriting and making sure everything was just right before we put it to tape.”
