The performance, slated during XP’s dynamic nightlife segment, signifies a bold new chapter for WOLFHEART as they traverse the globe on their international tour in support of their latest album, Draconian Darkness. Lauded by critics, Draconian Darkness was crafted at Deep Noise Studios, with production, mixing, and mastering by the band’s long-standing collaborator, Saku Moilanen, and artwork by the visionary artist Nikos Stavridakis (VisionBlack).
WOLFHEART’s participation at XP aligns with the conference’s vision to cultivate a flourishing music industry in the region. XP Music Futures serves as a platform for artists, entrepreneurs, designers, and policymakers to unite, innovate, and engage in workshops, dialogues, networking sessions, and electrifying live shows.
“We are immensely proud to introduce WOLFHEART to Saudi Arabia for the first time as the headliner of the Heavy Arabia Showcase at XP Music Futures. WOLFHEART is a cornerstone of melodic death metal in the Nordics, and their presence here marks a significant moment for our local scene. This showcase is not just about a performance; it’s about granting our audience the opportunity to witness one of the genre’s most iconic bands live in their homeland. It’s a celebration of the passion and dedication of Saudi metal enthusiasts, showcasing the progress of the scene. This event is another milestone for metal in Saudi Arabia, and we eagerly anticipate the impact on our community’s future.” – Gigi / Heavy Arabia
