Metal preachers POWERWOLF offer a first glimpse into their monumental upcoming live album, Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle), out 27th February 2026 via Napalm Records. One of the few German-language tracks in their discography, 'Stossgebet' (originally released on their #1 album, The Sacrament Of Sin, in 2018) is an impressive live interpretation that perfectly captures POWERWOLF’s magic. Cheeky, theatrical and captivating as ever, this sweeping track shows just what the band’s heavy metal mass has to offer.

The track is accompanied by a live video that documents the sold-out show at the Olympiahalle in Munich during the Wolfsnächte Tour in 2024 – the band’s biggest headline tour to date – and stands as energetic evidence of how a POWERWOLF show is more than just a concert. 'Stossgebet' therefore heralds more than a live album: Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) is a cinematic experience, a sacred celebration and an extraordinary demonstration of their unrelenting force.
POWERWOLF comment 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.”
What began as an unconventional project in 2004 has since evolved into one of the most successful metal phenomena worldwide. Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) documents POWERWOLF’s unrelenting rise to the top, showcasing a performance that goes far beyond a metal concert. From a fire-breathing church organ and thunderous pyro spectacles to dark, operetta-like storytelling and rousing crowd interaction, this show is pure heavy metal theater at its finest. 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 Collector's 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. With Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle), they once again prove that what they create is beyond music – it is religion.
With the Summer Of The Wicked tour through Europe just behind them, the wolves are ready to conquer the biggest stages worldwide once again. First up is their return to North America – the massive headline tour across the USA and Canada kicks off 17th September 2025 in Toronto, ON. Joining them as special guests are none other than label mates and power metal legends DragonForce.
Just one day after the release of their spectacular new live album Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle), POWERWOLF will raise the banners high once more and conquer Europe during their Wake Up The Wicked Tour, which includes their first show at the legendary OVO Arena Wembley for an exclusive United Kingdom show – a night destined to go down in metal history. The band is also already confirmed to return to some of the biggest metal festivals: POWERWOLF will headline the monumental Wacken Open Air next summer.
