POWERWOLF’s brand-new live album, Wildlive (Live At Olympiahalle), 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 fifth #1 entry after Preachers Of The Night (2013), The Sacrament Of Sin (2018), The Monumental Mass – A Cinematic Metal Event (2022) and Wake Up The Wicked (2024). POWERWOLF cement their status as one of the most successful bands around right now!
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. The Wolfpack is currently on a major European headlining tour through Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, and England, celebrating their heavy metal mass with tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans.
POWERWOLF guitarist Matthew Greywolf states:
"Having a Nr 1 chart-entry with a live-album is pure madness - we didn't expect that at all and it`s a terrific statement that live-music matters!!! Thank you all so much!"
Napalm Records Founder and Managing Director Markus Riedler adds:
“Reaching number one in the German charts with a live album is a huge sign of trust in the band's work from their loyal fans – and at the same time the result of great teamwork between the band, management, distributor, and label.”
POWERWOLF on Wildlive (Live At Olympiahalle):
“We always knew that no words or short recap videos could truly capture what we experienced together during the Wolfsnächte 2024 tour. Every night was its own kind of magic – still, we wanted to find a way to hold on to those memories and share them in the most powerful way possible. That’s why we decided to record the full, massive, sold-out show at the Olympiahalle in Munich – to preserve just a piece of what we all felt on this tour. Wildlive (Live At Olympiahalle) is more than a live release. It’s a tribute and manifestation to the moments we created together.”

Wildlive (Live At Olympiahalle) documents POWERWOLF’s unrelenting rise to the top, showcasing a performance that goes far beyond a metal concert.

Wildlive (Live At Olympiahalle) is an absolute must-have for every music lover. It will be available in multiple formats including Blu-Ray, DVD, CD and Vinyl as well as a Deluxe Boxset, Earbook, Mediabook, and several other Collectors Editions, featuring exclusive bonus content.
On Wildlive (Live At Olympiahalle), each song is visually reimagined with a changing digital stage set, timed effects, and theatrical elements: monks with torches, falling snow on a burning piano, and a fiery execution scene that rivals shock rock’s greatest icons. Classics like “Army Of The Night”, “Amen & Attack”, “Armata Strigoi”, and “Demons Are a Girl’s Best Friend” come alive in larger-than-life arrangements, while emotional highlights like “Alive or Undead” bring the audience to tears. The interplay between frontman Attila Dorn and organist Falk Maria Schlegel turns every moment into an unforgettable ritual.
Wildlive (Live At Olympiahalle) is more than just a celebration of past triumphs – it marks the beginning of a powerful new chapter in the band’s unstoppable journey. POWERWOLF have long transcended genre boundaries – their shows are cult-like celebrations of metal, emotion, and art.
