POWERWOLF comments: “Feels great to feature our early works in the form of such a great boxset. Working on the book “The history of heresy” brought back so many great memories – and more than ever taught us to be grateful. Grateful for having such wonderful fans and such great supporters, without whom none of this would have happened. Still hard to believe we’re arround since 10 years now already, but releasing such a great package box is probably the best way to celebrate such an anniversary. Hope you all enjoy reading the book, while listening to the roots of Powerwolf – and we hope to see you all at Out and Loud Festival (http://www.outandloud.eu) on May 29th, where we’ll celebrate our 10th anniversary with a very special headliner show!”

Additionally, and for the first time ever, “Lupus Dei” and “Return In Bloodred” will be released as Picture Discs on June, 24th in an edition of 500 copies each.

The 2nd part of "The history of heresy" will be out on October 24th. Besides featuring the albums "Bible of the beast" and "Blood of the saints" with bonus tracks, as well as "The sacrilege symphony" orchestra album, also the 2nd part of the autobiographic book "The history of heresy", with 128 Pages full of stories, tour and studioreports, and tons of pictures will be included in the box.

NEW POWERWOLF ALBUM COMING IN 2015
During the past six months we have been secretly busy writing songs for the follow up album to "Preachers of the night". By now the major part of the songwriting is finished and we're right now preparing for the studio work. The recordings will begin in early January and will keep us busy until March. The release is scheduled for summer 2015.

So, what can you expect? Without revealing too much at this early stage, you can expect an album that's 100% uncompromising POWERWOLF-stuff.
There's songs to go wild to, there's epic and atmospheric stuff - and a lot of wolfish metal madness in between - and quite a bunch of songs that will be must-plays on any future POWERWOLF liveshow for damn sure. We can't wait to get this album shaped! We'll keep you posted!

RECORDINGS FOR THE UPCOMING ALBUM HAVE STARTED
On January 4th we have ceremoniously started the recordings for the upcoming album at Kohlekeller Studio. Roel van Helden is currently outdoing himself tracking drums with amazing energy. The drums sound alive and big in the newbulit recording room at Kohlekeller Studio, and already now with only guide tracks and drums it all sounds amazing. We'll probably spend the rest of the week celebrating our dutch drum-demon while he keeps beating the hell out of his drumset. Next up will be guitar recordings, starting probably by the end of the week. We'll keep you posted.

POWERWOLF UNVEIL ALBUM TITLE AND COVER ARTWORK

Powerwolf have just unveiled the title of their upcoming album, which is scheduled for a July 2015 release.

The album will be entitled "Blessed & Possessed".

Once again guitarist Matthew Greywolf was also responsible for the artwork, which can be seen below.

Currently the band is laying final touches to the mix together with sound wizard Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden.

We have just finished the mix of our upcoming album "Blessed & Possessed" at Studio Fredman, with Fredrik Nordström and Henrik Udd at the helm of the desk. These days Jens Bogren laid final touches to the songs, mastering the album at Fascination Street.

We have just had the pleasure to listen to the mastered album for the very first time. We're more than proud and satisfied with the result, and yet can hardly believe to have finished this intense production. Both Fredrik Nordström and Jens Bogren did killer jobs giving these songs exactly the sound they need.
