A heavy metal mass beyond imagination - POWERWOLF unleash Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle)!
Chart-topping German metal titans POWERWOLF will release their brand-new live release, Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle), on March 6, 2026 via Napalm Records! This tremendous offering captures the magic, energy and theatrical brilliance of POWERWOLF's biggest headline tour to date. Recorded during the breathtaking sold out show of their Wolfsnachte Tour 2024 in Munich's Olympiahalle, Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) is not just a live release - it is a grandiose cinematic experience and a sacred celebration of metal, filled with fire, emotion, and boundless creativity.
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 Collectors Editions, featuring exclusive bonus content.
Fans who pre-order the Earbook or BOX-VINYL edition of the new album through the Napalm Records mailorder until July 31 will have the unique chance to have their name printed in the booklet of both editions. All you need to do is enter your name (up to 20 characters) in a special field on the product page when placing your order.
POWERWOLF states:
"We always knew that no words or short recap videos could truly capture what we experienced together during the Wolfsnachte 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."
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.

The wolves are ready to conquer the biggest stages worldwide once again! POWERWOLF's Summer Of The Wicked 2025 European headline tour will see the band bringing their mighty metal mass to some of the continent's biggest festivals and venues.
