POWERWOLF: New Album Lands On German Chart

August 12, 2011

"Blood Of The Saints", the fourth album from multinational metallers POWERWOLF, has entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 23.

Commented POWERWOLF guitarist Matthew Greywolf: "This is incredible; we're really overwhelmed! This is a real triumph for the wolves, but as well a triumph for you our fans you made this happen, you made it possible that the wolves set an example in the name of metal among all the pop-acts in the charts! Thanks a lot see you all on the Power Of Metal tour to celebrate this together!"

"Blood Of The Saints" was released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on July 29; and August 1 in the rest of Europe via Metal Blade Records in Europe. The CD was made available as a regular CD, a limited-edition digibook 2-CD (exact content to be revealed shortly) and on vinyl. The cover art was created by POWERWOLF guitarist Matthew Greywolf.

"Blood Of The Saints" track listing:

01. Agnus Dei (Intro)
02. Sanctified With Dynamite
03. We Drink Your Blood
04. Murder At Midnight
05. All We Need Is Blood
06. Dead Boys Don't Cry
07. Son Of A Wolf
08. Night Of The Werewolves
09. Phantom Of The Funeral
10. Die, Die, Crucified
11. Ira Sancti (When The Saints Are Going Wild)

The "We Drink Your Blood" video can be seen below (courtesy of Metal Hammer magazine). The clip was filmed in an ancient monastery church.

Commented POWERWOLF organist Falk Maria Schlegel: "Shooting the video in such a special and atmospheric place was incredible. The combination of the sacral interior of the church, including altar, confessional box and a church organ with a lot of fire, fog and metal insanity was the perfect set for a POWERWOLF video."

The title "We Drink Your Blood" is an allusion to the congregation in the Christian liturgy: "Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant." In the very own style, the members of POWERWOLF have adapted this to a typical suggestive horror story.

POWERWOLF will take part in the next edition of the Power Of Metal Tour 2011 alongside SABATON, GRAVE DIGGER and SKULLFIST.
