In the frozen underbelly of Finland’s metal landscape, some bands roar, some vanish and some return like a storm that never truly stopped rumbling.
WILLFIRE, the Finnish heavy metal trio forged in Järvenpää’s industrial veins, comes back with a new lyric video for “Inside Job” – a track that crawls under the skin and leaves claw marks on the soul. Pulled from their self-crafted album Homebrewed Recordings, now reissued via Wormholedeath, the song is a slow-burning confession soaked in betrayal, grit, and the weight of buried truths.
This is not a comeback.
This is a reckoning.
Where Shadows Bleed Into Riffs
“Inside Job” unfurls like a bruised whisper before becoming a scream.
The track starts low and brooding-riffs simmering with restrained violence, drums echoing like footsteps in a deserted factory hall. When the chorus hits, it feels like a verdict delivered by fire:
a reminder that the deepest wounds often come from the hands we once trusted.
WILLFIRE’s sound is a fusion carved from three bloodlines:
’80s heavy metal attitude, modern metallic weight, and blues-drenched melancholy.
The result is cinematic yet scarred; melodic yet merciless.
For listeners seeking Finnish heavy metal with emotion, authenticity, and lyrical depth, “Inside Job” stands as one of the band’s darkest offerings.
The Band That Refuses to Die
WILLFIRE isn’t a new name-
they are a cult ember that never fully went cold.
Line-up:
- Niko Hellsten — vocals, bass, harmonica
- Tero Virolainen — guitars
- Marko Kuparinen — drums
Formed in 1998, the trio embraced a long-burning underground existence, powered less by industry machinery and more by stubborn flame. Their latest release, Homebrewed Recordings, is the embodiment of the DIY ethos-written, recorded, mixed, and mastered by the band themselves. No gloss. No filters.
Just Finnish steel and soul.
With Wormholedeath’s support, the record now steps out of the shadows and into a broader battlefield.
The Voice of Noir: A Darker Lens
Imagine this:
A dim Finnish warehouse, where the air smells of rust and frozen rain.
A single bare bulb sways overhead.
WILLFIRE stands in a circle, the amps trembling like beasts about to wake.
The first riff of “Inside Job” hits-
a blade sliding from its sheath.
Niko’s voice carries the dust of past wars; Tero’s guitar digs trenches in the concrete; Marko’s drums pound like a heart trying to escape a cracked ribcage.
The lyrics aren’t just words-
they’re confessions muttered at 2 a.m. to someone who won’t forgive you.
They taste like cold metal and old regrets; they sting like a truth you tried to bury but that crawled back through the frost.
This is Finnish metal in its purest form:
not theatrical, not polished-
but honest, haunted, and painfully human.
Homebrewed Recordings – A Forged-In-Iron Gospel
The album is eleven tracks of raw craftsmanship:
heavy enough to bruise, emotional enough to haunt.
From the dust-covered blues of “Hideout Blues” to the sorrow-drenched weight of “Field of Sorrow”, WILLFIRE walks the line between melody and violence.
Homebrewed Recordings stands out as one of the most authentic modern Finnish heavy metal DIY releases-an album shaped by experience, not expectation.
And according to the band, the vault is still full.
Dozens of unreleased tracks wait in the dark.
WILLFIRE isn’t done. Not even close.
Why WILLFIRE Matters in Today’s Metal Scene
In a world where modern metal often leans on digital perfection, WILLFIRE offers something rare:
imperfection that feels alive.
- Real riffs.
- Real emotion.
- Real stories carved from decades in the underground.
For fans of traditional heavy metal, Finnish metal, underground European metal, and DIY-recorded albums, WILLFIRE is a band worth rediscovering-and “Inside Job” is the perfect entry point.
