POWERWOLF Release Eighth Studio Album ‘Call Of The Wild’
July 16th, 2021

German power metal band Powerwolf issued eighth full-length studio album proper Call Of The Wild on July 16th, 2021 through Napalm Records. Special editions of the release (2-CD mediabook, 3-LP vinyl box set, 3-CD earbook, and digital versions) include a bonus album, Missa Cantorem, featuring a cross-section of previous Powerwolf songs with newly recorded vocals by friends and companions of the band.

Guitarist Matthew Greywolf commented: “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!”
