The band comments: "Embraced By Fire is the most elaborate and detailed album in our band history so far! We've made sure to create catchy and interesting song structures and to deploy a multifarious instrumentation. Andre Hofmann of Forte Fortissimo studio supplied a very forceful and clear sound, which fits perfectly to the new songs."

In other news, Wolfchant are guesting on the Cartoon Network's Aqua Something You Know Whatever. Three members of the band appearing in the episode called Totem Pole as the band TOTEM POLE performing the song 'Polegasm'. Check out snippets here.

Singer Lokhi comments: "In April 2012 we've got a mail from Turner Media / Time Warner (CNN etc.) with the question if we were interested to compose the soundtrack for an episode of the TV serial Aqua Something… First of all we thought this is a joke because a short time before we`ve talked about how funny it would be to create wicked sounds for something like Family Guy or Southpark. It turned out quickly that it was a serious offer and that the producer Matt Maiellaro knows us and likes our music. We especially have a strong fan base in South and North America and most of our merchandise is going overseas. So, the offer arrived at the opportune moment to to heighten the profile of our name there! We installed a dedicated line between the studio in Atlanta and our studio to produce the songs and to dub the fictional band Totem Pole. That was a great experience for us to see how everything originates and to be part of this all!"

Wolfchant will be taking part in Paganfest Europe along with ALESTORM, ARKONA, EX DEO, THYRFING and BORNHOLM.
