Alice Cooper is inarguably one of the biggest names in the history of rock music. To honour his 75th birthday on 4th February 2023, POWERWOLF have released a cover version of his larger-than-life song 'Poison'. The 1989 hit single from the legendary album Trash is an absolute evergreen and known by every rock and metal fan worldwide. POWERWOLF pay tribute by adding their trademark sound to the song, without sacrificing the iconic structure of the original.

POWERWOLF comment on the cover: “Over the years we have released several cover songs to pay tribute to artists / bands that we personally hold in high regard. With 'Poison', Alice Cooper has created a timeless classic and we could not miss the opportunity to celebrate his 75th birthday with our own version.“
POWERWOLF are undoubtedly one of the most celebrated and successful heavy metal bands of the last decade. Multiple #1 album chart entries, gold and platinum records, huge sold out arena shows, as well as headline slots at the biggest festivals have paved their way. In less than 20 years of band history, POWERWOLF have made it to the very highest league of heavy metal.
Just in time for the highest Christian holiday, Easter 2023, another highlight of the band's discography, Interludium, will be released on 7th April, 2023. The new release features six new studio tracks, including the single 'Sainted By The Storm' which was already celebrated on the band's exhilarating Wolfsnächte 2022 headline tour, as well as one of the most intense tracks in the band's history, 'My Will Be Done'. Interludium also features gems and rarities from the band's history such as 'Midnight Madonna' or 'Living On A Nightmare'.

Interludium comes in several editions, most of them containing another exciting surprise: the bonus album Communio Lupatum II, where eleven befriended bands including Eisbrecher, Electric Callboy, Korpiklaani and Rage cover some of the biggest hits from POWERWOLF’s career. More limited versions also contain the second bonus album Interludium Orchestrale, containing eight orchestral versions of the album tracks.
One day before the release of Interludium, POWERWOLF will celebrate Easter with their devotees at Palladium in Cologne. The album release show will be one of the biggest concerts in the history of the band, and a once in a lifetime experience for each POWERWOLF fan.
Tuesday 29th November will see POWERWOLF headline a sold-out show in London at the prestigious Roundhouse venue, proving the band are one of the most powerful forces in metal today.

ABOUT POWERWOLF:
The story of POWERWOLF, beginning in 2004, reads like a true fairytale, but is the result of the most hard-working and entertaining live band on the heavy metal planet. POWERWOLF has not only received plenty of Gold and Platinum awards to date, but numerous releases have entered the official German album charts at the top position of #1. With Blessed & Possessed (2015), POWERWOLF achieved Gold status (in the Czech Republic) for the first time, while its predecessor, Preachers Of The Night (2013), hit the official German album charts at #1, and the incredible DVD, The Metal Mass (2016), came in at #1 of the German DVD-Charts. POWERWOLF's holy mass in the name of heavy metal is unstoppable – their latest magnum opus, The Sacrament of Sin (2018), again entered the album charts at #1. The accompanying, almost completely sold out Wolfsnächte headline tour – in which POWERWOLF headlined large venues with their phenomenal stage performances – became a single major triumph, as well as the numerous summer festival shows in which crowds were thrilled and completely captivated by the Wolves and their unique, (un)holy metal mass. With the new studio album, Call Of The Wild, and the Wolfsnächte 2021 tour charging through the largest halls in Europe, 2021 will again be a year completely under the sign of the wolf pack.
