With the release date on April 7, 2023, Powerwolf was just in time for the Christian Holiday Easter to release their new album ‘Interludium’ on Napalm Records. On this album we will find 6 new tracks and 4 rare tracks that were previously released, but only on certain limited edition versions of the album or only in certain regions. A classic Powerwolf sound with little details for you to find in the songs.

Wow, I love the intensity of this album. ‘Call of the Wild’ gives you a full sound that particularly comes out with headphones on.
In short, this is an album that will please all Powerwolf fans and will give new fans a taste of what the band is like on cd and live. It makes you want to go to one of their shows and watch them for yourself.

With 2021 being again a bit of a weird year, while looking forward to a hopefully better 2022, lets look back at some of the albums I enjoyed the most this past year.
It wasn’t all bad in 2020. Although it seemed like that sometimes. An example are these awesome albums that were released this year. The bands couldn’t tour, but I’m sure they will the first moment they can. Enjoy!
