Powerwolf Unveils "Interludium" Album Details

Powerwolf are undoubtedly one of the most celebrated and successful heavy metal bands of the last decade. Multiple #1 album chart entries, gold and platinum records, huge sold out arena shows, as well as headline slots at the biggest festivals have paved their way. In less than 20 years of band history, Powerwolf has made it to the very highest league of heavy metal.

Just in time for the highest Christian holiday, Easter 2023, another highlight of the band's discography, "Interludium," will be released on April 07, 2023. The new release features six new studio tracks, including the single "Sainted By The Storm", which was already celebrated on the band's exhilarating Wolfsnächte 2022 headline tour, as well as one of the most intense tracks in the band's history, "My Will Be Done." "Interludium" also features gems and rarities from the band's history such as "Midnight Madonna" or "Living On A Nightmare."

"Interludium" comes in several editions, most of them containing another exciting surprise: the bonus album "Communio Lupatum II," where eleven befriended bands like Eisbrecher, Electric Callboy, Korpiklaani and Rage cover some of the biggest hits of Powerwolf's career. More limited versions also contain the second bonus album "Interludium Orchestrale," containing eight orchestral versions of the album tracks.

Metallica Announces New Album And World Tour

American metal superstars Metallica has revealed that they will be releasing a brand new studio album entitled, "72 Seasons," their first since 2016's, "Hardwired... To Self Destruct." The new album will be released on April 14th 2023 via the band's own Blackened Records. In addition to this, the band has premiered a music video for the album's first single, "Lux Æterna," which can be viewed below.

In addition to this, the band has announced the "M72 World Tour," which will see the band perform two nights in each city, in what is being dubbed "No Repeat Weekend." As expected by the title, each night will feature a different setlist, as well as different opening bands as Pantera and Mammoth WVH will open the first night, while Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills will provide support on the second. You can see the tour dates below.

Says Metallica: "Yes, you read that correctly... we have completed recording at HQ, and our 12th studio album is coming your way! It’s been six years since Hardwired…To Self Destruct, so we think it’s about time for some new music. With 12 tracks totaling over 77 minutes, 72 Seasons hits all the places you can consume music on Friday, April 14, 2023.

"Produced by Greg Fidelman, along with James and Lars, 72 Seasons is available for pre-order now on CD, 2LP 140g black vinyl, two different colored vinyl variations, and digitally in the Met Store. Every pre-order will receive a digital instant grat track of the first song we are releasing, “Lux Æterna,” and you can check out the brand new video, one of the coolest we’ve ever made, on our YouTube channel. Directed by Tim Saccenti, we recently traveled to Los Angeles to capture our performance using some crazy cutting-edge technology.

"The album package was once again conceived and art directed by our good friend, acclaimed designer David Turner, and his team. David, who won a Grammy for his work on Death Magnetic, is the man behind the look and feel of all of our recent releases, including Through The Never, S&M2, and Hardwired.

"Is there a special meaning to the title?” you ask. James explains it best: “72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told ‘who we are’ by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry." More...
