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 seems to become growingly popular to record EPs or whole albums of cover versions and use them as a bonus for various limited editions. Amon Amarth had gone down the route of writing four songs in the styles of some of their biggest influences with their Under the Influence EP that had accompanied Deceiver of the Gods and German masters of dark power metal Powerwolf also were not content with just having their latest highflyer Blessed and Possessed sit there all alone and hammered out ten cover versions of bands that influenced them during their career so far, titled Metallum Nostrum.Production values are, as to be expected, top notch, so that the songs can receive the undivided attention and the Germans manager to walk on the thin line between keeping the original’s character intact and putting their very own stamp on it, which obviously is made easier with a singer as characteristic as Attila Dorn. Another element Powerwolf add to the songs is their use of the keyboards to add atmosphere, which works pretty good overall as well.The maybe biggest surprises on Metallum Nostrum are “Power and Glory”, where it would be easy to expect Saxon’s classic, but this is a version of a somewhat underrated German band named Chroming Rose, which had its probably biggest rise to some sort of fame with their debut album Louis XIV in 1990 and its title track, the same album this track is from. The other one is “Gods of War Arise”, which is the second clear-vocal cover version of an Amon Amarth song after Sabaton had given “Twilight of the Thunder God” their spin three years ago.All in all the versions are well executed and adapted and it is good to see that a band is able to cover the mighty Savatage and do the song justice, as in the case of “Edge of Thorns”, as well as the good adaptation of Amon Amarth’s powerful melodic death metal sound, even though admittedly the chorus shows a few surprising details that seem to be working better with Hegg’s bellow, overall still a worthy addition to this compilation.Metallum Nostrum is a very entertaining and well done collection of cover versions of some of Powerwolf’s influences, which could very well sell as a stand-alone album, but it will be a collector-sought-after item, unless Napalm decides to release it independently later on. Not only recommended for Powerwolf fans, but also those of well-crafted covers!
