about
After three years, Wucan returns with their first single ‘Irons in the Fire’. 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. ‘Irons in the Fire’ was the first song we wrote for our upcoming album. 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. We never come into the rehearsal room and say, "We're going to write a metal song," and then it just happens. It’s also a journey of discovery for us, where a riff, a part, a vocal line, or a beat can lead us. ‘Irons in the Fire’ is already 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. We recorded it in February 2024 with our homeboy Max Power in a studio in Berlin as a standalone song.
lyrics
Borrowed from the earth realm,
I was forged in blazing flames.
The blow of the hammer, sweat beads
I put an echo to my name.
Oh,
in more ways than one
A blacksmith of the stars
Lead me to reason, don't fear
And watch the astral choirs
And if you ever walk in doubt,
Put your irons in the fire
Oh,
in more ways than one
A blacksmith of the stars
„badabababababababadabadabadabaa
bada ba ba ba ba ba ba ba badaba da bahaa“
Oh, with his hammer and tonges, he shapes, he forges and forms
and the sparks fly up and the tales light the sky up above
endless, forever relentless,
countless little lights and it makes you wonder why
you can't keep up the fire.
„Brrrrrrrja!“
Guitar Solo
Theremin Solo
Oh, Oh, Oh
in more ways than one
A blacksmith of the stars
And if you ever walk in doubt
Put your irons in the fire
