FIRST REACTION to POWERWOLF (Resurrection By Erection) 🎤🎹☝

[@fnglert]

"Could they be more cheesy?" - it's powermetal, cheese is par for the course and to be expected. And what makes them great :D

[@Engmir666]

Even within powermetal they take the cheese... they are fun though

[@Str4vv]

Well, "Hootsforce" from Gloryhammer would set the bar for cheese. Maybe he stumbles across them soon :D

Powerwolf ... the band you can find on EVERY festival, at least here in Germany. They are fun live and have some great songs :)

[@janm3781]

Wacken 2015 was the first time I saw them live. Loved them ever since. 🤘

[@bearli]

A friend of mine jokingly said, they play wherever they can find a socket ("Die spielen überall wo's ne Steckdose hat"). Which is kinda true. Not complaining, though, they are a blast live!

[@nhenghali1916]

I saw them live twice (Wacken '15 & '17) before I had even listened to one of their songs outside of Wacken. And then, Wacken '19, I finally saw them, after I eventually owned a few Powerwolf albums.

[@lylavati]

[@MrsBifflechips]

"Could they be any more cheesy?" No. No they could not. But otherwise they wouldn't be them. Thanks for the reaction video!

If they could, they would! (much like me getting a gf :D)

[@LongandWeirdName]

"You know what? They had fun. I had fun." That there is exactly it. That's what truly matters.

[@ravelordniitou4790]

Omg yes! Please do more Powerwolf. They have some truly outstanding tracks. One of my most seen live bands (living in germany and all). They have amazing live shows! At one time the crowd was shouting at each other for about 15 minutes straight after the vocalist motivated them to chant something and they couldnt continue the concert because they couldnt stop the crowd anymore. They even had to cut a song at the end because of noise regulations and overtime. It was fantastic :D

[@jordanhegg3647]

Seconding the below comment for “Demons are a girls best friend” official video 😂👍

[@Riumi]

You should try other songs from their catalog. This song is intended to be funny mostly and such it is. Try more serious stuff like "army of the night" or "we drink your blood", maybe "sanctified by dynamite". Those should be more "classic" powermetal sound, and probably you will like them more.

[@Qwarzz]

Sanctified with Dynamite is definitely another fun one.

Immediately went and got all their music and fell deeply in love with Attila's voice

[@SandraNelson063]

Dracula's doorbell?!?!?!? Bwahahahahahaha!!! You would know, Ginger Vampire! I have a Theatre BA, so I look at these shows from a different viewpoint. These guys have figured out that they need more than loud, catchy music. People want a SHOW, some fun, a bit of naughtiness. Something to shout back at the stage with several thousand people. People want bang for their buck. Powerwolf seems to have found the formula to keep audiences happy. So, pass the pancake make up!

[@emoharalampiev1590]

The Keyboard player really likes going around the stage when he doesn't play. Really fun stuff.

[@jasontrebilcock6496]

The keyboard player, when he came out front, is almost like a rap hype man. That is, depending on how much of a break he has in his part(s). In the times that I've seen Powerwolf live, there has always been a bit where he comes down for a few minutes...as opposed to this were he wasn't down for very long. All in all, Powerwolf puts on a fun show. If/when we put the pandemic behind us and concerts become a thing, I recommend experiencing the Metal Mass at least once.

[@rolandbuysse9374]

The simplicity of their music means you can start singing along halfway through listening to any of their songs for the first time. I think that's what makes them a festival favourite!!

[@Melody-sc3mp]

Chase: Could they be more cheesy PowerWolf: Hold my beer lmao

[@scottcrocker3265]

The band that finally got Chase to say a "negative" thing. No shots fired, love you Chase. Was waiting for the day

[@Vogel612]

Something about the makeup: The drummer and the guitar player have additional makeup on their arms to accent the muscles they have. It's all in service of implying a much harsher lighting. Can we get something from ASP next?

[@TheGeekiestOne]

Finally POWERWOLF!!!

[@PaulReinerfelt]

Regarding the organ music: Live, Falk Maria Schlegel has them on the synthesizer, of course, but for recordings he plays an actual church organ! (Falk Maria actually prefers to be called "organist" and not "keyboardist".)

[@MisterHavoc]

Another acolyte's first annointing in the sacred Heavy Metal Mass! Welcome Brother Carneson! I suggest continuing your journey with "Stossgebet," "Incense and Iron" or "Sacrament of Sin". "Demon's Are A Girl's Best Friend" is going to get suggested a lot, BUT, if you do that one, do NOT use the Wacken video! Your boy Tank did, and since it's from Wacken 2019, the idiot media management company removed that video.

[@athopesend2015]

Nice, I don't listen to alot of power metal but I must say when I do. I enjoy me some Powerwolf. I picture the singers grandchildren saying .. pappy, what was your favorite song to play live and him saying Resurrection by Erection... lol. One of my favorites by them is Demons are a Girls Best Friend.

[@Arandompasserby]

Probably not the first one to suggest it, but the live version of "Sanctified with dynamite" is a fun one.

[@PenguinFondue]

It was really adorable seeing you get into the song. And then when you realized what he was saying...

[@hufflepuff187]

They're from my neighbourhood. Saw them approx. 15 years ago on a free for all-festival at approx. 3PM with approx. 50 people in audience :-) Some very sympathetic lads that don't take themselves all to seriously. I wish them nothing but more and more success!!

I think Armata Strigoi is a good song to listen to for people who dont know Powerwolf that good. Maybe look for a live version that didnt get recorded in germany, cause they do talk with the crowd between songs

[@Wanys123]

Armata Strigoi from Masters of Rock 2015(the same festival as in this reaction) is really good, as it involves a lot of crowd work during the breakdown.

[@greaper1976]

Demons are a girl's best friend is probably their best video. Other songs I'll reccomend: Armata Strigoi, Sanctified by Dynamite, We drink your blodd and Killers with the cross. Their whole shtick is being werewolves at night and priests by day, hence the make-up etc

[@alexiazamfir3962]

Armata de strigoi! Live!

[@antoineleclercq9343]

When I saw them live i was really impressed by the fact that the music but mostly the singer sounds exactly like the studio record. As you said, it's not about the complexity and the intricacy but still I was really impressed. If you want to watch one of their music video I would go to Army of the night :)

So cheesy, and their biggest complaint is that they sound the same. BUT I LOVE IT and it was awesome to see you discover it too. Would love to see you watch something else from them too. Fire and Forgive has a pretty awesome video. Keep up the good work!

[@claudiomet]

Yyyyeah! Powerwolf!!! Very very funny! (They are inside of category of Powermetal of Thematic Band and Parody Band). A lot of powerful, simple, melodic and funny songs. Nothing too elaborated, complex or progressive, just power and fun. And they do it well!

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

hahaha oh god you did it. Amazing reaction as always. btw i know their keyboard player personally (job related we occasionally see each other XD) also no n ot all their songs are like that XD santified with dynamite is a serious one you may enjoy^^

[@BedMau]

GREAT choice for a starting song. The lyrics in this kill me, but a lot of PW songs are very funny. "Demons are a girl's best friend" as a pun on "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" is just an example.

[@KrypticChambers]

First time listening to this band...But very catchy...Sounds good...Great Review..👍

[@HollowBones82]

Powerwolf maybe isn't the most techincal band out there but they're great fun! I don't listen much to them in my daily rotation but seen them twice live. They're definately a live band, in my book, and to me it seems that's their thing: a metal mass with lots of sing-along-songs. Now, for something more prog - I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the Polish band Art of Illusion and their song "Distance".

[@depapa701]

This band has a deal with the devil. I saw them live on a hot and sunny day but when they started the clouds where covering the sun suddenly. After they left the sun came back. It was strange but awesome this concept is working better in the dark.

[@CerberRoss]

I think the greatest Powerwolf song life is Armata Strigoi, it always gets the crowd singing without the band and thats just the best.

[@GianaManetheren]

My favorite of powerwolf are definately "demons are a girls best friend" and "we drink your blood", so that would be my suggestion .

I am somewhere there in the crowd. They don't have very complicated songs but it's always fun to see them live. Sometimes there's too much talking inbetween songs to my taste but they really like to interact with the crowd so I get it. Definitely worth seeing them at least once live. Also I believe that Attila is a classically trained singer. He doesn't really show it in this song but there are other ones where you can clearly hear it.

From the powermetal genre, they are great.

You should definitely try some more Powerwolf, maybe Army of the Night, or Fire & Forgive if you want a little more "traditional?" power metal sound. Also Why your exploring Germany why not check out Beyond the Black, or Lord of the Lost? For BtB maybe Forget My Name or Million Lightyears. From LotL maybe The Broken Ones, or Loreley.

[@bygoneegowaitingremoval]

Those "However" man, 10/10.

[@TributeToTurisas]

I recommend Amen & attack, Fire & forgive, Coleus Sanctus, Army of the night, Let there be night, We drink your blood, Sanctified with dynamite (live or vid.). Too bad you don't understand german, because "Stossgebet" is another good one (the text is rather ambiguous... maybe with subtitles ;-) ...)

One of the best live acts on the circuit right now. They write huge fun choruses that by the end of the first time of hearing you can sing along. They are Catholic priests by day and werewolves at night (supposedly😁... well they have a song called "Catholic in the morning, Satanist at night"). They put on a show (normally there is ots of pyro) and basically make people smile and sing. In the world we live in we need such escapism. I have been lucky to see them a few times and they had the crowd in the palm of their hands every time. Did I mention they are fun? Or did I mention they are great live? If I didn't then just to say they are both!

[@White0Reaper]

I think if you want to experience like more 'traditional' Powerwolf in terms of song that reflect their general sound and tone, I do highly recommend both Sanctified with Dynamite (New Live Video) and Kiss of the Cobra King (Very recent Kickass Music Video). I know you will probably get a lot of requests for Army of the Night and Demons are a Girl's Best Friend but I would suggest not using those as your next step into Powerwolf as they are more 'outliers' and 'different' (In no way I am saying they are bad songs, they are far from it) as I feel people would appreciate them more if they have heard other Powerwolf songs before.
