Heavy beats, loud guitars, epic vocals – this is signature Wucan. An undeniable headbanger that still holds surprises for long-time fans, but leaves the old and new listener surprised by the diversity of sound within.
“I wrote ‘Irons in the Fire’ as a little toast to all those who refuse to be beaten down by the adversities of the world and keep pushing forward,” comments singer Francis.
‘Irons in the Fire’ is a classic metal/hard rock song, but the devil is in the details. Harmony changes, the theremin solo, and little breaks make it a classic Wucan song. The song addresses consistency and perseverance in the passion or calling that each person sees individually for themselves. The message that emerges: Don’t give up and stay true to yourself.
Francis continues: “How does the saying go? ‘Diamonds are made under pressure’? It sometimes feels like that when you pursue a goal and have to overcome obstacles and hurdles to fulfill your dream. Every setback shapes us, every defeat carries a chance within it, and it takes iron will and a good dose of passion to withstand this pressure. ‘Irons in the Fire’ was the first song we wrote for our upcoming album. We recorded it in 2024 with our homeboy Max Power in a studio in Berlin. After Heretic Tongues, we floated through jams for a while and were still unsure where the journey with the new album should go. When Tim brought this riff to a rehearsal, we let ourselves be carried away by it. At a certain point, one part flowed organically into the next. It felt really good when the song was finished and already hinted at the direction the new album would take.”
The Dresden quartet recently entered the German album charts for the first time in their career with their last album Heretic Tongues, followed by impressive performances at numerous European festivals.
