‘Irons in the Fire’ is 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. 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.

‘Wucan has all irons in the fire!’

“How does the saying go? ‘Diamonds are made under pressure’? It sometimes feels like that when you pursue a goal and have to overcome obstacles and hurdles to fulfill your dream. Every setback shapes us, every defeat carries a chance within it, and it takes iron will and a good dose of passion to withstand this pressure,” says singer Francis. “‘Irons in the Fire’ was the first song we wrote for our upcoming album. We recorded it in 2024 with our homeboy Max Power in a studio in Berlin. 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.”

“For the video shooting, we rented an old glass factory in Weißwasser-DE and an old brewery in Medingen near Dresden-DE, capturing the cold and raw atmosphere that these professions bring with them” says the band. “In the glass factory, we shot the performance scenes with cold hands in the shadow of the large old machines. In Medingen, we went all out and literally smashed TVs, dishes, tables, and even a toilet. The images and scenes that emerged show the fun we had! The video was once again produced by Armin from Massengrab Records, to whom we have entrusted our projects since ‘Heretic Tongues’. This time, his colleague Hans and photographer Edgar Kohn were also involved. We would like to thank: Hafenstube Telux and the Ostpol team for providing the filming locations. Also, thanks to: Massengrab Records, Ravierfilms, and Edgar Kohn for the production.”
