POWERWOLF Honor ALICE COOPER’s 75th Birthday with Rendition of ‘Poison’

Alice Cooper is inarguably one of the biggest names in the history of rock music. To honour his 75th birthday on 4th February 2023, POWERWOLF have released a cover version of his larger-than-life song ‘Poison’. The 1989 hit single from the legendary album “Trash” is an absolute evergreen and known by every rock and metal fan worldwide. POWERWOLF pay tribute by adding their trademark sound to the song, without sacrificing the iconic structure of the original.

Watch the lyric video to ‘Poison’ below.

POWERWOLF comment on the cover: “Over the years we have released several cover songs to pay tribute to artists / bands that we personally hold in high regard. With ‘Poison’, Alice Cooper has created a timeless classic and we could not miss the opportunity to celebrate his 75th birthday with our own version.“

Just in time for the highest Christian holiday, Easter 2023, another highlight of the band’s discography, “Interludium”, will be released on 7th April, 2023. The new release features six new studio tracks, including the single ‘Sainted By The Storm’ which was already celebrated on the band’s exhilarating Wolfsnächte 2022 headline tour, as well as one of the most intense tracks in the band’s history, ‘My Will Be Done’. “Interludium” also features gems and rarities from the band’s history such as ‘Midnight Madonna’ or ‘Living On A Nightmare’.

“Interludium” comes in several editions, most of them containing another exciting surprise: the bonus album Communio Lupatum II, where eleven befriended bands including Eisbrecher, Electric Callboy, Korpiklaani and Rage cover some of the biggest hits from POWERWOLF’s career. More limited versions also contain the second bonus album Interludium Orchestrale, containing eight orchestral versions of the album tracks.

One day before the release of “Interludium”, POWERWOLF will celebrate Easter with their devotees at Palladium in Cologne. The album release show will be one of the biggest concerts in the history of the band, and a once in a lifetime experience for each POWERWOLF fan. Tuesday 29th November will see POWERWOLF headline a sold-out show in London at the prestigious Roundhouse venue, proving the band are one of the most powerful forces in metal today.
