Powerwolf Dropped an Epic Music Video for Their Latest Single “1589”
Do you like German power metal? What about stories about werewolves? Do you just like the party game Werewolf? Then the debut single off of Powerwolf‘s forthcoming album Wake Up The Wicked has dropped and the music video below is right up your alley.
Touted as one of the more elaborate and cinematic music videos they’ve ever put out, “1589” tells the story of Peter Stump, who lived near Cologne, Germany in the 16th century and is known today as the Werewolf of Bedburg. Though he obviously wasn’t a werewolf, he was defamed, arrested, and tortured into confessing to committing several gruesome murders in the a rea. He was ultimately executed on October 31, 1859.
Though they’ve been a major player out in Europe over the years, they’ve only begun making their major push into the North American audience. Last year saw them sell out some shows here in the States and Canada and they recently announced a more comprehensive North American tour that’s supposed to kick off this August with Unleash The Archers.
Wake Up The Wicked will be released on July 26 via Napalm Records, but you can preorder your copy today.
