The man behind Wooden Shadow, Jeremia Ponto comments:
“This is a song that echoes the longing and despair of missing someone who isn’t coming back. A sentiment conveyed through both the lyrics and the melody. It is like a tear making its way through the forest. Guest vocalist (and good of mine friend) Jaana Juntunen brings out the best in this track; the nuances of her vocals capture exactly what the song needs. I believe, or at least hope, that ‘Blackened Roses Fall’ will make listeners pause for a moment. In any case, it has been a great honor to work on this.”

“It was fun making the song, lovely lyrics, and it was fun to sing. It was also fun working on it together, and I hope others like it too!” Says Jaana Juntunen

Finnish melodic death/folk metal band Wooden Shadow released a new single ‘We Are The North’

The solo project “Wooden Shadow” by Jeremia Ponto, who just turned 25, from Ylöjärvi, Finland and the latest song “We are the North” is a representative song as its name suggests, in which the north brings honor and strength. The chorus raises the sound levels to the stratosphere and the song’s otherwise rich and rich melody can be heard. There are also experiments with different guitar sections, of which at least Jeremia Ponto himself is really happy about.

From year 2020 onwards, the first demo (Meaning of Wonders) also started a new project. Wooden Shadow is the solo project of Jeremia Ponto from Ylöjärvi, where the genres vary between melodic styles in the form of different formats. As a rule, founder Ponto writes his compositions based on melodic death metal, but there are also combinations of folk and melodic black metal. Jeremia Ponto, 25, describes his solo project: “Ever since I started making my first compositions, I had in mind to write diverse music that fits the colors of my project itself. Let the people, who find my music
to listen to decide for themselves what my genre represents. I define my music as “melodic metal” because it feels more realistic to me as a composer.”
