Powerwolf on Tour
Head-banging metal meets fantasy in the epic music creation by the German-based band, Powerwolf. Powerwolf's almighty guitar work, vigorous drums and commanding vocals mixed with themes like religion, demons, vampires, and werewolves create an otherworldly experience. The group consists of guitarist Matthew Greywolf (Benjamin Buss), bassist Charles Greywolf (David Vogt), keyboardist Falk Maria Schlegel (Christian Jost), drummer Roel van Helden, and vocalist Attila Dorn (Karsten Brill). Following the release of their 2022 album, The Monumental Mass: a Cinematic Metal Event, Powerwolf commenced their 2022 European tour, making stops in Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Czechia, and Poland. Donning ghoulish makeup during their performances, Powerwolf's shows are filled with pyrotechnics as the booming voice and undeniably legendary instrumentals encompass every fan lucky enough to see them live. First emerging in the music sphere with their debut album, Return in Bloodred in 2005, Powerwolf has continued to create a slew of classic metal hit albums, including Lupus Dei (2007), Bible of the Beast (2009), Blood of the Saints (2011), Alive in the Night (2012), Preacher of the Night (2013), Blessed & Possessed (2015), Metal Mass: Live (2016), The Sacrament of Sin (2018), Call of the Wild (2021), and The Monumental Mass: a Cinematic Metal Event (2022).
Powerwolf Live in Concert
Perhaps the most successful metal band in Germany, Powerwolf was formed in 2003 by Benjamin Buss and David Vogt. The founders added Falk Maria Schlegel and former drummer Stéfane Funèbre shortly after. With all the instrumentals covered, Buss and Vogt aggressively searched for a lead singer, discovering the passionate fantasy enthusiast, Karsten Brill, in Romania. With the band fully formed, they quickly signed a deal with Napalm Records, releasing their debut album under the label. The band then signed with Metal Blade Records for North American releases. Funèbre's final album with the band was Bible of the Beast, and Helden was added to Powerwolf's lineup for their next album. Powerwolf gained immense popularity in the mid-2010s, gaining gold status on back-to-back albums, Blessed & Possessed (2015) and The Sacrament of Sin (2018), with the single, "Demons Are A Girl's Best Friend," off The Sacrament of Sin going Platinum. With more than 1.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify and top tracks "Army of the Night," "We Drink Your Blood" and "Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend" combining for more than 137 million streams, it's no surprise Powerwolf is still one of the most iconic metal bands in Germany and in the world.
