POWERWOLF · The Sacrament Of Sin | BLACK LP

Black vinyl in gatefold cover.

Background information about ''

If there is one band that has turned blasphemous theatricality into an art form, it's Powerwolf. With The Sacrament Of Sin, the German metal werewolves delivered their seventh studio album in 2018 – and it's nothing short of a glorious, bombastic celebration of everything that makes heavy metal great. From the very first organ blast on the title track, you know you're in for a ride that is equal parts church service and battlefield anthem.

The album is a masterclass in blending power metal's melodic grandeur with the grit and darkness of classic heavy metal. Songs like Demons Are A Girl's Best Friend and Kiss Of The Cobra King are ridiculously catchy, with choruses so massive they could fill a cathedral. Frontman Attila Dorn delivers his signature theatrical growls and operatic cleans with absolute conviction, while the twin guitar attack of Matthew Greywolf and Charles Greywolf weaves riff after riff of pure fire. The production is crisp, huge, and lets every hymn-like melody soar. This is an album that doesn't take itself too seriously, yet delivers serious musical firepower. It's camp, it's epic, and it's utterly irresistible.
