Metal is Religion – PowerWolf, the Legendary Power Metal (MV)

Painted as pale corpse on stage, PowerWolf is an extraordinary German band, well-known by its unique metal music style, with the mysterious religious themes, gothic-tinged composition and songs about legendary creatures.

Officially, the band was founded in 2003 by GreyWolf brothers, Matthew and Charles, the long-term music partners. Soon the keyboardist Falk Maria and drummer Stéfane joined the band, but no suitable singer turned up. The wolf brothers started writing songs and travelled to Romania for holiday, where they met Attila Dorn in a pub, a student of classic opera at the academy in Bucharest who shared the same interests specially in Romania legends about werewolf and vampire. So, Attila accepted their invitation to move to Germany as the front-man of PowerWolf.
The band released their first album Return in Bloodred in 2005. After 4 years, they entered the official German Charts for the first time with their third album Bible of the Beast. Experiencing twice change of drummer, the band embraced the successful fifth album Preachers of the Night, which debuted at No.1 in Germany in 2013. No doubt the following 3 albums have been affectionately welcomed by the metal fans. The ninth album Wake up the wicked which has just been released, absolutely represents a masterpiece of their marvelous music~~Personally, I love 1589 and Sinners of the Seven Seas most, very classic style of PowerWolf, thrilling stories about werewolves, mysterious and fascinating by combining orchestra sounds, church choir into traditional power metal. And these two MVs, have been produced wonderfully as the beautiful but tragic gothic movies.
Even the lyrics of PowerWolf songs are characterized by the treatment of Christianity and Romanian legends, the band never consider themselves as a religious band, as well as their gothic-church style stage designed by Matthew Greywolf, the main songwriter & guitarist. When being asked if he was a Christian or a Satanist, Matthew replied: “I am a metalist…… Metal is my religion.”
Needless to say, all metal fans belong to a world-wide “religion”. For me, I would love to join the Heavy Metal Mass of PowerWolf, maybe in the future during Hellfest in France or Waken Open Air in Germany, amen…
P.S. Every time when I put on the earphone to enjoy PowerWolf MV, my dearest Mr.T always passed by incidentally as a cat and dropped me the same comment: “ OMG~~Corpses~~~Death metal is so dreadful~~~
