Powerwolf – a band that fills the hearts of every heavy metal fan with joy – will release their highly-anticipated new studio album, “Wake up the Wicked”, on July 26th, 2024, via Napalm Records!
With several #1 chart entries and multiple gold and platinum records, Powerwolf is undoubtedly one of the most successful current heavy metal bands worldwide.
Headline and premium slots at premier rock and metal festivals like Wacken, Hellfest or Graspop, as well as massive sold-out arena shows have further solidified the Wolfpack’s standing at the very top of the scene. Powerwolf’s high quality releases are steadily praised by critics and fans alike, building upon the successful reach of their songs and impressive official music videos, which have been streamed tens of millions of times across platforms to date.
“Wake up the Wicked” – the highly anticipated successor to the extremely successful previous studio album, “Call of the Wild” (2021) – will be released just in time for the award-winning band’s first ever full North American tour, starting in August 2024, followed by their biggest European headline tour to date, the Wolfsnächte 2024.
“Wake up the Wicked” is once again produced by the outstanding Joost van den Broek at Sandlane Recording Facilities and marks a new benchmark and undisputed career highlight for the band. The new album is hard, surprising and full of variety. While staying true to their established, loved sound, Powerwolf go one step further and showcase a different facet of their deft musical and technical skills. This is evident, for example, on the outstanding single “1589”, which is based on a true story from the 16th century.
20 years after their formation in 2004, Powerwolf are expanding their repertoire with the highest quality and adding many future live hits to their extraordinary discography. “Wake up the Wicked” is yet another statement cementing the status of the band as a leading force in the world of heavy metal!
