Vocal ANALYSIS of "Dancing with the Dead" with Werewolves!!!

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com

[@bradenalder9016]

if I remember right the lead singer was originally an opera singer

[@elricthebald]

Fun fact: A journalist once asked Atilla: "Are you Christian or Satanist?" He replied: "Yes."

[@milonchello1643]

That could be an interesting question for the lead singer for ghost.

[@drissddourden606]

Counterquestion: is it possible to belive in "the good" without beliving (that there is /) at "the bad"? its two sides of the same medal its like "dude, the (sun)light don't creates any shadows at all" xD

[@MrOnetedify]

@@drissddourden606 i doubt his a Satanist.. but not believing in that the DEVIL is real is foolish.... especially with the evil going around the globe right now

[@VYMQGSOH]

They told us a long time ago they just like the aspect of vampire and werewolves with a blood relation, and also the Bible being interesting and combining those to create a cool aspect for music is what they used it for, but they don't believe in God or Satan as if they are Christian or a religion that worships either of them.

their lead singer is classically trained in opera so it makes sense that his voice is powerful

It seemed so odd that people have been suggesting a song where he does not really *sing*, good track, but definitely not representative of his full talent

I KNEW IT!

[@alexjohnson2527]

@@efforf398 Armata Strigoi is still one of my favorites by them. It's just fun. I do agree though, most of the requests for reactions don't cover the extent of his talent.

[@Federweich]

I know your comment is already 6 months old, but i still find it kinda funny that people still believe that. The band has said more then once that it is not true and was made up to fit the character of "Attila Dorn" more. He isnt clasically trained in opera. He just has a great vooice and sounds amazing!

[@Julia-dv9gv]

Yes, they made up backstories for their characters and said that Attila is an opera singer from Romania, but some especially non-metal-related media thought they were serious. I think that's quite hilarious actually. I really like the band.

[@White0Reaper]

The live version of 'Let there be night' should be on your list as that is an excellent showcase of his voice

[@inaraavotina8159]

True that! Basically full “blessed and possessed” album is a true tribute to Atilla’s voice. Right before they went full-on concert vib-y

[@yuriyrusakov5532]

True! Would love to see an impression on “let there be night”! And “where the wild wolfs have gone” as well!

[@tylerdavis6389]

Powerwolf even have their own board game, "Armata Strigoi". Also, "Dancing With The Dead" is an antique euphemism for witchcraft. The story is essentialy about a girl being tempted and falling into witchcraft. Love these guys.

[@banj8830]

I'd like to make a few suggestions KISS -Black Diamond-live, sung by original drummer Peter Criss, Streetheart-Under my thumb, any song from the 69 Eyes, Led Zeppelin-Fool in the rain, Sammy Hagar and the Circle-Right now, or 3 Little birds, or Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers- Breakdown live. Thanks and keep up the great work

[@peterdoe2617]

Listen to Sting: "Dancing with the dead" was a movement in south america. Where people where dancing in silence. No music, played. Pretending to hold somebody. While there was no 2nd person. 'Cause the government had taken them away. Assuming, most of those invisible partners had already been killed.

[@tatonne14]

Armata strigoi being my absolute fav song from them too

[@GerinoMorn]

Armata strigoi... my linguistic senses tell me it's either a gun for vampires, or a big cannon that fires vampires for some reason... xD

[@tylerdavis6389]

@@GerinoMorn Strangely enough, it's an army b off Catholic werewolves attacking the last vampire stronghold.

[@engineeringtehmetals]

This band is SO FUN! They don't take themselves too seriously, yet very serious! 'Sanctified with Dynamite' is my favorite by them! 'We Drink Your Blood' is a close second favorite!

[@garenbent9981]

Sanctified with Dynamite is so much fun!

[@TheComicBookJoker]

The way I like to phrase it is the same way I like to talk about Psychostick: they take their music very seriously without taking themselves seriously.

[@RedHorseArcher]

I like the "Resurrection by Erection" song.

[@treyslider6954]

It's second to Sanctified with Dynamite, but I really like Fire and Forgive

[@HannesHenkelmann]

Seriously one of the best live-bands as well

[@pieisnice9]

Should be a real good one. Attila has some classical training, the gothic themes are right up your street and the music is just fun. Their live shows are great fun too, lots of crowd interaction and Falk Maria Schlegel the keyboardist and Attila play off each other really well. I'm a big powerwolf fan. Army of the Night and We drink your blood are their big songs and worth a look. Armata Stigoi and Venom of Venus are bangers. There's a cool version of Demons are a girls best friend with Alissa from Arch enemy that's pretty fun too.

[@sandraschwarz8464]

Falk is actually an organist and for the recordings he is playing the organ sometimes even recorded in a church.

[@OnlyKaerius]

Another real banger is Incense & Iron. As for fun, it's hard to beat Resurrection by Erection.

[@Vestaxowner1]

ah, Venom of venus is my favorite, definitely recommend that one!

[@Shiribunga]

Honestly Powerwolf is the kind of band that has nothing but bangers, some just bang harder than the rest is all, some of them being Amen and Attack, Call of the Wild, Reverent of Rats, Beast of Gévaudan or Lupus Dei as well

[@HansHurin]

Speaking of cool versions: I super dig the Sacred & Wild cover by Epica.

[@KomalaUsedYeet]

I cannot belive its Elizabeth's first time listening to powerwolf. They are my all-time favorite band ever since I discoverd them in 2017. And they were my gateway into alot more metal bands. Im so greatful for that moment spotify said: "Hey, try this"

Finally you are doing Powerwolf. They are amazing. Some Songs, you might like too from them: Demons are a Girls best friend---That is like Dancing with the Dead.

[@wenlocke]

Like most bands, they have singalong sections in some of their songs where they tell the audience what to sing. Watching Attila do this is hilarious because it comes off as nothing so much as an impromptu mass singing lesson (he insists the crowd be on key and not flat, and actually put some resonance into it.) Check out some of the live videos of Armata Strigoi for what this can look like.

[@HansHurin]

Don't know if on purpose but like three years ago he did it on a festival and by accident tried to teach the same chorus on two different songs. Falk was like: hey... um... we already did that song.

May I recommend their songs: Incense and Iron, Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend, Where the Wild Wolves Have Gone, Sacred and Wild and Armata Strigoi. Also, I can't find anywhere online that says Attila Dorn was ever in Orden Ogan. But check out Orden Ogan anyway, because they're awesome. I recommend their song Ashen Rain.

Powerwolf is like the spooky creepy but fun halloween version of power metal, and I love them! Their singer has classical opera training if I remember correctly, and that sound combined with the organ sounds just transforms the sound into a perfect gothic blend of evil, mischief, and aggressiveness, while maintaining an air of class if that makes sense? Also like, 20% of their songs are mostly in latin, which is super cool. More powerwolf please!

[@jn1196]

I'm so happy you found out about Powerwolf, they have found the perfect formula to making very very catchy metal songs! I'd recommend that you listen to "Armata Strigoi", especially a live version! (they interact a lot with the audience)

[@pastlink]

Powerwolf are amazing!! Glad you enjoyed them! I wanna make a recommendation, I am 100% certain you would love Poets of the Fall. They have a great vibe, and the singer Marko has a warm, soothing voice. Their biggest song is Carnival of Rust (there's a live performance in Moscow that's good, and a live studio session at genelec which sounds great as well). Or another interesting and beautiful performance is Angel from the Alexander Theater sessions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

There were comments below of recommending "Armata Strigoi" and "Venom of Venus". They are so great, I absolutely agree. Although I'd like to add one more, "Mother Mary is a Bird of Prey".

Apologies for posting off-topic from very impressive PowerWolf. Please allow me to suggest Rush's Hemispheres (Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres), the main cut from their masterpiece concept album. The uninterrupted 18+ minute cut may be Geddy's ultimate vocal achievement, perhaps Rush's ultimate achievement. Geddy goes through ranges of emotions during the piece's many movements. Hemispheres tells a mythological story of war and tragedy leading to final resolution and balance. Also please allow me to suggest Free Will off the live album, Exit Stage Left.

No, Attila Dorn NEVER loses power in his deep low register! His voice is instantly recognizable in today's Metal, and, along with their tastefully chosen "gimmick", goes a long way to manifesting the identity of POWERWOLF. Yes, they are always energetic, and yeah, they are always having some dark (sarcastic) fun. :] But take them easy at own peril - for you lose that soul before you know! \m/ 9:45 You ask what they do live? Well, they sound just as good... and they use flamethrowers on stage to prove the point! This band is the real deal as far as unbridled fun goes! For another of their wonderful videos that tell a story, try "Fire and Forgive" - deals, appropriately, with exorcism. Hmmm. Or rather just listen to their classic "Bible of the Beast" album, and tell us what you think. A veritable joyride for this listener.

First time hearing this band WOW!!! My kind of metal

[@RoarOfWolverine]

Attila Dorn has a great gritty rock voice, but then he can change to a clean opera sounding voice. He definitely has power in droves. They really have some great songs, like Armada Strigoi, Sacred and Wild, Amen And Attack and a really deep cut, but one of my favorites, is called Extam Et Oratum. I have been waiting for you to do a Powerwolf song since the vocals are really the star of their music. Attila also has a really good range. SPOILER WARNING: Many people believe that he is Romanian and trained in opera in Romania, but that’s a story they created, just like their names aren’t really Matthew and Charles Greywolf, though those are great names. Their real names are: Karlsten Brill - Attila Dorn Benjamin Buss- Matthew Greywolf David Vogt - Charles Greywolf Christian Jost - Falk Maria Schlegel Roel van Helden - No Alias Yes, Matthew and Charles are not actually brothers. Everything about them is theatrical, even their backstories. Attila or Karston is actually German and never trained opera in Romania, but that doesn’t diminish the fact that he has a Powerwolf and can sing really well. That makes it convincing that he has been classically trained. SPOILER: they’re really not werewolves either, sorry to break that.

Yeeeeees PowerWolf is one of my favorite bands and I'm really excited to see you get in to them. Edit: Theres so many songs of theirs I could recommend. But I'll stick to a few with music videos: We Drink Your Blood, Amen and Attack, Fire and Forgive, and Beast of Gevudan (this last one is really fun with the real world history behind it, the version in french is really well done).

I'm loving all the metal analysis - if you're looking for other metal bands to check out, I strongly recommend giving Kaunaz Dagaz by Brothers of Metal a listen!

[@jespervestergaard8488]

I second this one @the Charismatic Voice remenber your drinking horn and fur cape if you tjeck out anything by Brothers of Metal, the are a swedish viking(power) metal band with two lead singers.

[@tonysarrio8940]

I have seen so many Brothers of Metal requests but she won't do it. She will do 10 Nightwish tunes but no BOM. Ylva Eriksson is second to none.

[@CMcNab22]

@@tonysarrio8940 she's probably just busy? Makes sense to do a lot of Nightwish, they've been active like 30 years and still manage to remain at the forefront of the metal scene. Be patient, she'll get to it eventually

I kept meaning to pick some Powerwolf up, you tipped me over the ege. So glad they're on Napalm, you get that awesome Bandcamp instant gratification of purchasing.

I think you don't know that the vocal of Powerwolf was a opera singer once. That's why he is so good in both the high pitch and low pitch vocal.

[@PoodlePuncher]

so many songs are getting recommended, do yourself a favor, start with the first album, and listen through the discography... So much fun the time will fly.

[@sophoklesgreek3237]

one of the best live bands I have seen... really fun.. good sense of humor .. EDIT: Elizabeth, it is always watch you because you are so enthusiastic about a lot of different styles of music.

[@stranubis3725]

I adore this song! So happy to see you react to it!

[@Megairon96]

The fact that he can sing that high with that power is mindblowing for me

[@wglennhowells]

They are amazing at writing in a way of lot of metal has lost, strong verse which sets a story, great hook, then big sing along chorus, an unbeatable formula. Doesn’t hurt that they have almost a mythology that runs through their music, and a little singing in Latin, giving it an extra dramatic element. Listen to Blessed and Possessed, the album, Armata Strigoi is an amazing example as is the title track. These guys are the perfect example of what Metal can be at its best.

The young girl is the woman at a younger age and as you can see from the doll that turns into a kind of Chucky doll, she has had a connection to the dead/demons/whatever from a young age - and now is the time to fulfill/embrace that connection. That's my take, anyway.

[@yannisgouras4482]

You need to do their song called Let There Be night his operatic Talent really shows through in that song and he sings in an ancient attilic language

[@aurumflash3983]

Hahaha yaaa finally Powerwolf!! Love this song and it always invokes energy!!
