POWERWOLF Releases Cinematic Music Video For New Single 'Dancing With The Dead'

June 24, 2021

German metallers POWERWOLF will release their new album, "Call Of The Wild", on July 9 via Napalm Records. The second single from the LP, "Dancing With The Dead", once again underlines POWERWOLF's indispensable skill for pure, bloody heavy metal and hooks that will stay in your head forever. The four-minute track just screams for big stages and will not only captivate loyal followers but also new fans immediately.

Featuring Attila's gripping vocals and irresistible riffs, the accompanying cinematic music video takes its recipient back to the past and once again also showcases POWERWOLF's visual strength. The clip, which can be seen below, comes as a cinematic short film and stages a wild dance with the dead.

Once again created in cooperation with the honorable producer duo of Jens Bogren and Joost Van Den Broek, "Call Of The Wild" will open a new chapter in the band's history. The eighth studio album will serve both old and newly recruited POWERWOLF devotees with well-known classic trademarks, and equally surprise and delight them at every stage of this wild 11-track ride.

POWERWOLF guitarist Matthew Greywolf says about "Call Of The Wild": "With 'Call Of The Wild', we are opening a new, exciting chapter in the history of POWERWOLF. The album sounds unmistakably like POWERWOLF and is so much more at the same time: Besides new territory like the Celtic instrumentation in 'Blood For Blood (Faoladh)' or the ballad like 'Alive Or Undead', we have raised all our trademarks to a new level. Until now, we never sounded so powerful and wild - in the truest sense of the word. We can't wait to finally share this beast of an album with you all!"

A European tour in support of the effort will follow in October. Fans can not only expect brand new heavy metal anthems to be played and chanted along by thousands, but also the biggest and most epic production POWERWOLF has brought to the stage thus far, once again cementing their status as one of the most intense live bands.

The story of POWERWOLF, beginning in 2004, reads like a true fairytale, but is the result of one of the most hard-working and entertaining live bands on the heavy metal planet. POWERWOLF has not only received plenty of gold and platinum awards to date, numerous releases have entered the official album charts at the pole position. 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 No. 1. POWERWOLF's holy mass in the name of heavy metal is unstoppable, their latest magnum opus, "The Sacrament of Sin", again entered the album charts at No. 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.

POWERWOLF is:

Attila Dorn - vocals
Falk Maria Schlegel - organ
Charles Greywolf - guitar
Matthew Greywolf - guitar
Roel van Helden - drums
