Powerwolf’s brand-new album, “Wake Up The Wicked”, tops the Official German Album Charts, adding yet another #1-charting record to the most successful current heavy metal band’s outstanding discography! It’s the fourth #1 entry after “Preachers Of The Night” (2013), “The Sacrament Of Sin” (2018) and “The Monumental Mass – A Cinematic Metal Event” (2022). Powerwolf’s first-class songs and videos have gained tens of millions of streams and views over the years, with the new singles already showing potential to exceed previous successes – as the cinematic, extremely high-quality music videos for the first two singles have already surpassed 1M views.
Alongside their praised, massively successful releases, Powerwolf have earned their standing at the very top of the current metal scene through playing headline and premium slots at essential rock and metal festivals such as Wacken, Hellfest and Graspop, as well as with the band’s huge sold-out arena shows. At the end of this month, the Wolfpack will begin their full North American headline tour, leading to their biggest European tour so far, Wolfsnächte 2024, in October.
Attila Dorn states:
“Our friends: You did it again! Our new album Wake Up The Wicked tops the official German Album charts, marking the fourth No. 1 album in the history of Powerwolf! Thank you all for your loyalty and enthusiasm – that’s what fuels the pack! See you all on tour to celebrate that together!”
Napalm Records Founder and Managing Director Markus Riedler adds:
“Quality and consistency find their way to the top with Powerwolf! We at Napalm Records are happy and grateful that we have been able to accompany the band for over 12 years. The continued growth and international chart successes are now filling large arenas. The Heavy Metal Wolf simply inspires young and old and once again deservedly sits at the top of the German charts. Another number one, which we can also celebrate thanks to our in-house distributor SPV GmbH. Many thanks for the great work!”
