More than two decades after their formation in 2004, POWERWOLF stand at the very top of the international heavy metal scene. Multiple number-one chart entries, gold and platinum awards, sold-out arena tours and major festival appearances have made the German metal titans one of the most successful and distinctive bands of their generation.
With their unique blend of thunderous riffs, dramatic church organs, monumental choirs and irresistible hooks, POWERWOLF have created a musical universe that is unmistakably their own. Anthems such as “Army Of The Night”, “Amen & Attack”, “Demons Are a Girl’s Best Friend” and “We Drink Your Blood” have become modern metal classics. Their latest studio album, Wake Up The Wicked, added further fan favourites including “1589”, “Sinners Of The Seven Seas” and “We Don’t Wanna Be No Saints”.
Released in February 2026, WILDLIVE - Live at Olympiahalle captures the triumphant finale of the band’s Wolfsnächte Tour 2024 at Munich’s sold-out Olympiahalle. Far more than a conventional live album, WILDLIVE is nothing less than a cinematic heavy metal spectacle filled with fire, emotion and theatrical brilliance. A fire-breathing church organ, torch-bearing monks, snow falling
onto a burning piano and thunderous pyrotechnics transform every song into a monumental production. WILDLIVE topped the Official German Album Charts, becoming POWERWOLF’s fifth number-one release overall and, following The Monumental Mass, their second concert release to reach the summit.
In August 2026, POWERWOLF delivered a monumental performance worthy of their headline status at the sold-out 35th-anniversary edition of Wacken Open Air, the world’s biggest heavy metal event. Playing on the Faster Main Stage in front of an estimated 80,000 fans, the Wolves transformed the festival into a colossal cathedral of fire.
METAL HAMMER UK hailed POWERWOLF’s Wacken performance as “unlike any spectacle” its writer had witnessed in 25 years of metal shows. The complete 1-hour-and-47-minute concert was broadcast by MagentaTV on MagentaMusik and
remains available to watch on demand: Watch POWERWOLF live at Wacken Open Air 2026. In October 2026, POWERWOLF brought their live spectacle to the Land of the Rising Sun for the very first time. Headlining FULL METAL JAPAN in Yokohama, the band were greeted with rapturous applause.
The next chapter in their unparalleled success story is already on the horizon: With a new album in tow, the Wolves will embark on the massive MORAL & MADNESS world tour in autumn 2027. A bombastic stage production on an unprecedented scale will take their heavy metal mass to a whole new level.
Sold-out arenas, their first headline show at London’s legendary OVO Arena Wembley, their triumph on the Holy Ground of Wacken Open Air and their acclaimed Japanese debut underline POWERWOLF’s international standing. Their appeal has long since extended beyond the boundaries of the genre. Their concerts unite metal, theatre, emotion and boundless imagination.
METAL IS RELIGION
