Only Heavy Metal

POWERWOLF conquer the German charts with 'The Metal Mass Live'!

Powerwolf's history of success is a truly metal fairytale: Thanks to lifeblood, passion and talent the band has gathered an enormous amount of followers with until now six albums and uncountable captivating live gigs. Two last albums in the Top 3 of the German album charts, sold-out headliner shows, frenetically celebrated festival gigs all over Europe – there was just one thing missing… Exactly: A dvd / blu-ray which brings the glorious metal mass on your tv! Now Powerwolf made the almost impossible happen again, and conquer the German album charts but this time with their critically acclaimed live dvd / blu-ray 'The Metal Mass Live' ( July 29th 2016, Napalm Records ) on an unbelievable position #04 and they even make it to the Top of the DVD charts with a phenomenal #01!

„We're overwhelmed by this great success. We never expected to hit the charts at such a high position with a live-release, and it feels totally great to see how much you all have anticipated THE METAL MASS. We really feel blessed and honoured having such great and loyal believers! Finally it's a triumph of handcrafted live music if live-albums can make it under the TOP 5! Thank you all - and see you on the upcoming metal masses to celebrate this together!” The band just recently told their loyal army of fans.

Markus Riedler, CEO of Napalm Records, proudly comments:
„With their high demand of quality, Powerwolf are a guarantor for Top positions in the German album charts. Without any doubt, Powerwolf is THE exemplary metal band from Germany. We are proud, to be working with such great band!“

Powerwolf have assembled a truly opulent package for their loyal fans. 'The Metal Mass Live' contains three complete live shows with which you can enjoy the irresistible hooklines and great metal hymns of Powerwolf with live recordings from the Masters Of Rock, the Summer Breeze and the Oberhausen gig from the Wolfsnächte tour. Apart from that all the previous videoclips and two documentaries are included – fans surely appreciate to witness the hilariously maverick sense of humor of the band members. Of course 'The Metal Mass Live' is presented in a beautiful valuable packaging that will make every collector's heart beat faster.

Powerwolf has risen over the years to become one of the biggest flagships in the heavy metal scene of today! The band has a deep bond with Metal Blade Records who helped them over the period of four albums to become the dominating force they are today.

Metal Blade will now re-issue the first three full-lengths in the history of Powerwolf – Return In Bloodred, Lupus Dei and Bible Of The Beast – on August 11th on vinyl. This is the first time these albums will be available on vinyl as stand-alone releases!

All three albums will receive the “MB Originals” treatment: 400g heavy cardboard spine sleeves (inside out print), big posters, 250g inserts, plus a special vinyl re-mastering from Patrick W. Engel.

SONGWRITING FOR UPCOMING POWERWOLF ALBUM DONE
We had been spending the past 10 months writing songs for the follow-up to „Blessed and Possessed“, and today we can announce that the songwriting and pre-production is almost completed and we have gathered a nice bunch of really amazing and striking songs. It was a truly awesome journey and fun creating those tunes, exploring some new ground and developing our trademarks further than ever. We‘ re totally thrilled and exited about the material and can‘t wait to enter the studio soon!
More news and details on this will follow – for now we can promise you that the wolves will be back with a mighty new album in 2018!

Time to reveal some more facts about the album to come in 2018: While we‘re working on final songwriting details these days, we are proud to announce that the album will be produced by JENS BOGREN (Arch enemy, Amon Amarth, Kreator and many more). We will enter Fascination Street Studios in Sweden in January to track an epic new chapter of the metal mass – be forewarned!

Matthew Greywolf comments:
"We're proud to finally unveil the album title along with the amazing cover artwork of "THE SACRAMENT OF SIN". While we are in the final stage of mixing the album at Fascination Street Studios we can't wait to unleash this monster and celebrate this new chapter together with all of you - expect nothing less but a mass more intense than ever, bringing some new elements to the liturgy while being as wild and wolfish as it could!"
