Wolves of Karelia is the fifth studio album by Finnish melodic death metal band Wolfheart, released on 10 April 2020, through Napalm Records. The album spawned the singles "Hail of Steel"[5][6] and "Horizon on Fire".[7]
It is a concept album inspired by the Winter War. Band founder Tuomas Saukkonen had done heavy research on the topic for the concept and lyrics, stating "I did not want to take a Sabaton approach of just documenting great battles or soldiers, but rather, dive into the individual experiences of the chaos of war. Naturally, I could not avoid certain heroic points of view. After all, I was writing about stories of our nation’s heroes. A hugely outnumbered army including mainly farmers, against a huge army of Russians; war machinery with centuries of experience of invading and fighting great wars."[8]
