Story of Powerwolf

POWERWOLF (always styled in all caps) is a German power metal behemoth forged in the fires of Saarbrücken in 2004 by members of Red Aim. Their sound is a potent cocktail: the soaring vocals of Attila Dorn (Karsten Brill), the blistering lead guitar of Matthew Greywolf (Benjamin Buss), the rhythmic thunder of Charles Greywolf (David Vogt) on bass/rhythm guitar, the keyboard wizardry of Falk Maria Schlegel (Christian Jost), and the driving percussion of Roel van Helden.

Unlike traditional power metal, POWERWOLF incorporates a unique blend of religious imagery, gothic undertones, and lyrical narratives steeped in werewolf and vampire lore. This, coupled with their striking corpse paint, creates a visually and aurally arresting experience.

Their 2005 debut, Return in Bloodred, ignited the fuse. Lupus Dei (2007) further cemented their growing reputation, culminating in their chart-breaking success with 2009`s Bible of the Beast, their first entry into the official German charts. This period also saw the departure of original drummer Stéfane Funèbre (Stefan Gemballa), replaced first by Tom Diener, then by van Helden in 2011, the same year they unleashed Blood of the Saints. In 2012, POWERWOLF signed with Napalm Records, releasing the critically acclaimed Preachers of the Night in 2013, solidifying their status as power metal royalty.
