How To Stay Authentic in Today’s Metal Scene | Tuomas Saukkonen Wolfheart | TSBTS Ep. 16

Details

Description

In this candid interview, Tuomas Saukkonen of Wolfheart opens up about his unique journey into metal vocals — from a small village in Finland to the international stage. He shares how he discovered his raw, physical growl, why he never chased perfect technique, and the personal philosophy that keeps his passion alive after decades in the scene. We also dive into the impact of social media on musicians, balancing authenticity with audience expectations, and advice for vocalists finding their own voice.

This episode took almost a year to release. Why? There was a lot going on — festivals, interviews, content… and life. But also, we weren’t happy with our own performance. After Summer Breeze, the right moment to publish it never seemed to come. Still, what Tuomas shared here is too important to stay unheard. So now, right before Summer Breeze 2025, we’re releasing it as the closing chapter of The Story Behind The Scream Season 1. Big new interviews are coming soon — stay tuned!
