Danish band formed in Copenhagen in 1997; blends power, prog, and folk metal. Albums include Within, To Travel for Evermore, Far From the Madding Crowd, The Shadow Cabinet, and Salt (2010). Led by guitarist Erik Ravn; noted vocals by Nils Patrik Johansson on later records.

DeBaser’s reviewers praise Wuthering Heights’ fusion of power, prog, and folk, highlighting Salt and The Shadow Cabinet as high points. The concept-driven middle period (To Travel for Evermore, Far From the Madding Crowd) earns strong marks for variety and suites. The debut Within is seen as skillful but less inspired. Vocals by Nils Patrik Johansson and the band’s originality recur as strengths.
