Homebrewed Recordings is exactly what its name suggests—authentic, unfiltered, and forged in the fires of DIY ethos. The album fuses distorted bass, slamming guitars, raspy-to-screamed vocals, and even harmonica flourishes to create a sonic journey through heaviness and melody, darkness and light. From breakneck tempos to slow-burning grooves, the tracks are charged with emotion and grounded in themes of life, perception, and inner struggle.

 
 

 

The digital album's release date is 19 September 2025.

Hailing from the land of a thousand lakes and infinite riffs, WILLFIRE embody the raw spirit of heavy metal with a sound that blends 80s rock, modern metal, and blues. Founded in 1998 by a tight-knit group of friends, the band’s journey has spanned decades, marked by evolution, reinvention, and an undying passion for heavy music.

The trio—Niko Hellsten (vocals, bass, harmonica), Tero Virolainen (guitars), and Marko Kuparinen (drums)—have re-emerged stronger than ever. Homebrewed Recordings is an 11-track album crafted entirely in-house: recorded, mixed, and mastered by the band themselves. Now, with Wormholedeath onboard, this rugged and richly textured record will reach global metalheads with the impact it deserves.
