When I saw a picture of the band before watching this video I assume they were a black metal band due to the corpse paint they wear. This is far from the truth as Powerwolf is an interesting mix of European power metal with operatic vocals. Keyboards and organs are a big part of the sound but do not take away from the heaviness of the music. I hate when a band is good but their message is completely off putting. Powerwolf's lyrics contain a common theme of satanism and occultism within all of their albums which just isn't my thing. If it were not for the santanism theme I would be all over this, as the music is quite good. The video does a good job of showing the woman as pure at the beginning before the pure white is corrupted by blood on everything. Powerwolf are a great band musically, just not my thing lyrically which means I won't be picking this album up when it drops July 17th.
My ramblings on metal past and present with a focus on learning new bands and enjoying new music.
