The story of POWERWOLF, beginning in 2004, reads like a true fairytale, but is the result of one of the most hardworking and entertaining live bands on the heavy metal planet. POWERWOLF has not only received plenty of Gold and Platinum awards to date, but numerous releases have entered the official album charts at the pole position of #1. With “Blessed & Possessed” (2015), POWERWOLF achieved Gold status for the first time and stayed at the Top of the charts for more than nine weeks, while the predecessor, “Preachers Of The Night” (2013) – as well as the incredible DVD, “The Metal Mass” (2016) – hit the official German album charts at #1. POWERWOLF‘s holy mass in the name of heavy metal is unstoppable – their latest magnum opus, “The Sacrament of Sin” (2018), also entered the album charts at #1. The accompanying Wolfsnächte tour, in which POWERWOLF headlined large venues with their phenomenal stage performances, became a single major triumph – as well as the numerous summer festival shows in which the crowds were thrilled and completely captivated by the ‘wolf and their unique, (un)holy metal mass.
