Bio:

In 2005 a yet unrevealed secret called POWERWOLF invaded the metal scene with their debut album "Return In Bloodred". Sinister, wicked and wild as only real metal can be, that album delivered haunting, yet catchy anthems for both shivering horror atmosphere and screaming metal party mayhem.Fronted by the charismatic maestro Attila Dorn, whose roots go back to Romania, the wolves soon made themselves heard with unique and celebrated live shows.Songs like "Mr. Sinister" or "The Kiss Of The Cobra King" breathe the spirit of the essence of what heavy metal means, paying tribute to the godfathers of evil heavy music without being retro.After the release of "Return In Bloodred" the wolves invaded festival stages in the summer of 2005, leaving a brandmark on events such as the Summer Breeze or Metal Blade Europe's 10th Anniversary festival, before embarking on a full European tour covering twelve countries as support to German metal legends GAMMA RAY in October.In July the wolves came back to the stages to play some more festival shows, including a celebrated appearance at probably the most renowned festival for heavy metal - Germany's Bang Your Head! Allowing themselves no rest they soon started working on the follow up to "Return In Bloodred". Locking themselves away in their fog veiled rehearsal room during autumn 2006, Attila and the pack went through a cathartic struggle with themselves to reach the core of their passion: "Ever since these five individuals that form POWERWOLF came together, we felt a strong bond that went far beyond our passion for metal - it is something spiritual, some people would even say religious," says organ player Falk Maria Schlegel. "Metal is a lifestyle - metal is religion! That's what it's all about!"Obsessed by that credo the wolves stirred the flame in an intense four-month songwriting period. "It was a truly emotional process. I've never been that dedicated to any piece of music in all my life so far," Attila Dorn reflects. In the end the band had written ten brand new tunes carrying on where "Return In Bloodred" left off, and going far beyond at the same time: Songs as "We Take It From The Living" or "Prayer In The Dark" feature all trademarks of typical POWERWOLF songs adding both more melodic density as well as pounding heaviness and more epic moments than ever before. Paying tribute to the spiritual feeling of the album, POWERWOLF recorded parts of it in a chapel built in the 12th century. "It was haunting. Recording in a church can not be compared to any studio situation. You can breathe history in such a place and it was definitely the most inspirational surrounding we could have chosen for the creation of this album," Matthew Greywolf says. "On the title track as well as on 'In Blood We Trust' we even worked with a 30-piece classical choir, which was amazing!"For the mix they finally went to famous Studio Fredman in Sweden, where Fredrik Nördström (who was also responsible for the acclaimed sound on "Return In Bloodred") put the final touches on the album, delivering a ground-shaking heavy sound.Lyrically dealing with the word of the bible and the dogmas of metal, "Lupus Dei" features everything POWERWOLF is about: haunting horror atmospheres, spiritual organ madness, Attila's once again outstanding and unique vocal performance - and most of all: ten extremely catchy metal anthems soon to be howled by many wolf-addicted souls!Our Father who art in heaven - our daily metal give us today!The unusual power metal Powerwolf was formed in Essen, Germany, in 2003 and features the two Greywolf brothers Matthew and Charles alongside Attila Dorn. Dorn, who originates from Romania, has put a unique personal touch on the band, passing on his heritage in the shape of a strict vampiric image. 2005 became a very important year for the band as they were picked up by the major independent metal label Metal Blade Records who released their debut album. They also contributed a cover version of Armored Saint's classic "March of the Saint" for Metal Blade's 2005 "Rooooaaaar" compilation.Live activities following the album released included appearances at the three German festivals Summer Breeze, Holzstock and Rock-Well as well as a support slot on the Gamma Ray / Nocturnal Rites European tour in September and October of 2005. During 2006 the band only did a few seIect shows while working on material for a sophomore album, "Lupus Dei", which was released in early May 2007.

Album:

It’s only a few short nights before Call of the Wild by Germany’s POWERWOLF gets dropped and fans of Power Metal have a heck of a lot to be excited about! There’s a lot in the way of technical prowess and production value though anyone who has heard their last couple of albums may not be particularly interested in the (amazing) technical aspects of the record. To be quite honest, a lot of the songs and sounds seem like they would fit in right at home with some of their previous releases though if you’re looking for a continuation of the POWERWOLF party with more tales of mythical creatures and tongue in cheek humor then Call of the Wild is the album to crank.Anyone into the technical side of things will find extremely enthusiastic performances, fantastic composition, and a beautifully theatrical sound stage. It’s the kind of album where even if Power Metal isn’t exactly your bag (for example, it’s not really mine), you still can’t help but appreciate and get into the spirit of the songs and become struck with the dynamic nature of how the songs have been written that mix predictable elements with unexpected twists, stabs and crescendos that are instantly uplifting.In some ways, especially on tracks like “Varcolac” and “Glaubenskraft”, I get Danny Elfman movie soundtrack vibes. In other areas, you get their signature humor such as in the track “Undress and Confess” which juxtaposes the ballad “Alive or Undead” and the sing-along “Blood for Blood”.An impressive element of the album is the production as a whole! There is ALWAYS a lot going on at any given time with guitars, organs, fast drum patterns, and kicks, layered vocals, and choirs but the mix never seems to peak out or run out of space. The sound of every instrument is exceedingly clear and present which I guess is to be expected from Jens Bogren. Thanks also goes to Joost Van Der Broek and the band for producing the album in such a way that there are a lot of intelligent decisions made with the sound design. The sounds and instruments tie in together to create something much bigger than the sum of their parts in such a way that it resonates less like a band of people playing instruments and more like a force of a perpetual explosion.So far I’ve sung praises for the album and the following critique also describes the strength of the album. Call of the Wild stays firmly in its lane without trying to be anything more than what the band is known for already yet at the same time no less clever, imaginative, or well presented. If you have heard any of their previous material, you’ll know exactly what to expect. If not then you can safely deduce it from the cover artwork. While it’s not exactly the type of album that might push the genre further, it’s the type of album that can take a casual Power Metal listener and entertain or perhaps even inspire.That’s certainly what I walked away from this album with. Speaking of cardio, It’s, without doubt, a FANTASTIC listen to while going for a run or riding the family dog around the house with a sword-like object in hand. You must go into it with some suspension of disbelief or it’ll come off sounding overly cheesy and that frankly isn’t a problem with the band or the album.Overall, Call of the Wild is an album full of bangers that doesn’t get old and spends far more time being fun than sniffing its own farts. POWERWOLF does what they do well on this release and it’s a welcome return from the three-year wait since The Sacrament of Sin. Listen to it once to get drawn in and a few more times to get rowdy!
