Power, epicness, and roots deeply grounded in Nordic Death Metal at its finest — BÖLTHORN are back to shake the metal scene with their brand new single “Primeval Hunt”, available on October 31st, 2025 via Wanikiya Record.

On the same day, the official music video for the track will be released on YouTube.

With this song, the band officially joins the Wanikiya Record roster, marking the beginning of a new and exciting chapter that anticipates their upcoming full-length album, due for release in 2026.

“Primeval Hunt” has been chosen as the manifesto of this new era: a track that embodies the essence of the upcoming concept album, narrating the eternal conflict within mankind — suspended between primal instinct and evolution, between the choice of being prey or hunter. There is no definitive answer, only the weight of ancient legacies that still shape our decisions today.

Bölthorn, whose name draws inspiration from Norse mythology, were formed in 2015 as a Death Metal project by Ironcross (guitar/composer), joined by Rob (guitar) and Drake (vocals). From the very beginning, the trio crafted a powerful, massive, and melodic sound, quickly turning the initial idea into a full-fledged band.

In 2018, they released their debut album “Across the Human Path” through Broken Bones Records, recorded at AUDIOCORE Studio in Fontevivo (PR).
After the pandemic, the band reached stability with Stefano (guitar), Beppe (bass), and Emiliano (drums).

In the summer of 2025, Jessica (former guitarist of Injury) officially joined the lineup, replacing Stefano and solidifying the current formation.

Today, Bölthorn are working on their second album, an ambitious concept set for release in 2026, with “Primeval Hunt” serving as both a prelude and a statement of intent.

With their epic and crushing sound, Bölthorn reaffirm their identity and open a new chapter in their career under the banner of Wanikiya Record/Promotion.
