POWERWOLF “Blood Of The Saints” /Ltd. Deluxe GLP + Poster/

Embroidered bordered woven patch.

105x30mm 

The debut full-length studio album by cult German Power Metal band.
The band's arsenal of catchy, Gothic Power Metal creates an immediate distinction from the fleet of Rhapsody and Helloween clones that were assailing the continent. You won't hear a sped-up Gamma Ray or Dragonforce here, or a soulless interpretation of Stratovarius, but an entirely different beast that balances Deep Purple, 80's Sabbath, and Alice Cooper with the cult sounds of NWOBHM bands.
This is an enjoyable effort, with a few tracks lagging behind the rest of the band's career. The mix is wholesome, and you truly get a shiver as if you're listening to the entire album in a cathedral with high vaulted ceilings, while the full moon and all its terrors lurk just outside the sanctity of the pulpit and crucifix...
Enhanced CD features bio, cover, logo, photos.

15th Anniversary Edition re-release of the second full-length studio album by cult German Power Metal band.
It may seem outdated genre for today, yet, Power Metal is one of the basic styles of Metal and it is the style of Heavy Metal. Despite all, Power Metal has always had a mesmerizing capacity of capturing the taste and hearts of the listeners, today as back in time. Of course, this still happens today for the giants of days gone and forlorn but also for newer bands, especially when expressing a good Power Metal, which is the case of Powerwolf.
This is an excellent power album, delivering exactly what is expected: fast, ear-friendly riffs, operatic vocals and short, powerful tracks that delivers positive energy.
The title of the album may be a reference to the story of Thiess of Kaltenbrun, a Livonian man who lived in Jürgensburg, Swedish Livonia, in 1692 and publicly admitted being a werewolf, referring to himself as "The Hound of God", boldly claiming that he and other werewolves went to Hell to fight the Devil.
All tracks are quite good. Vocalist Attila Dorn is clearly the star and main focus here, around whom everything else rotates. His job is truly great; his vocal performance remarkable as he has a powerful voice that boasts out and kicks you in the chest. The rest of the band delivers, with great solos and main riffs that enters your brain from start. Production is excellent and presents really high standards, as is also the songwriting. In addition to recording at Woodhouse Studios, Germany, the band recorded some parts of the album in the 12th-century Deutschherrenkapelle chapel in Saarbrücken. The band also used a 30-members choir on the songs "In Blood We Trust" and "Lupus Dei".
"Lupus Dei" is a really good album, and can be strongly recommend to any Metalhead, also if Power Metal is not your preferred style. This is a very good album with a lot of great features, perfect to set up the power mood and release a high level of energy. Prepare to feel as you're headbanging with the wolves, because you will!

The 10th Anniversary Edition re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by cult German Power Metal band.
Considered by many as the best album in the band's career, "Blood Of The Saints" has been out of stock for a while, so the time is right for a vinyl re-issue!
The ripping guitars, the battering drum work, and the nightmarish keys work in such great conjecture that one could feel his spirit grow cold with fear as song after song threatens eternal darkness and quenchless bloodthirst upon it. It’s for the ravenous wolf of the night in all of us, and those sacrilegious hymns are augmented all the more with Mr. Attila Dorn’s unbeatable singing. His unholy howling works wonders with his band of merry lupine demons, as tracks like “Sanctified with Dynamite”, “All We Need is Blood”, and “Die, Die, Crucified” can attest to.
In addition to recording at Studio Fredman, Sweden, the band recorded some parts of the album in the 12th-century Deutschherrenkapelle chapel, Saarbrücken.
The album reached position number 23 in the German charts and 75 in the Swiss charts. The album won the Metal Hammer's "Power Metal album of the year" award.
“Blood Of The Saints” is another reminder of Powerwolf’s awesome appeal and is your next addiction!

The third full-length studio album by cult German Power Metal band.
Yet another fantastic release from Powerwolf. While many will say that Frederik Nordstrom has produced and mixed yet another cheesy, flight-of-fancy Power Metal record (complete with a 30-piece choir), the balance between his penchant for Epic touches and Powerwolf's already adept ability at crafting fun, catchy Power Metal tunes is nearly perfect on this record. Here is classic Epic, anthemic Power Metal at its best!
For those who want to hear a formula for great Power Metal, this is definitely a "Bible Of The Best"!!
