BLUTGOTT have released a new single and video ‘Beats Of War’ as DEBAUCHERY version. The song is taken from the upcoming BLUTGOTT studio album ‘Legions Of Metal’ which will be released on 10.10.2025.

“Beasts of War” is a thunderous hard rock track capturing the raw power and ferocity of the hordes of Setekh Drakorgaur. With crushing riffs, pounding drums, and gritty vocals, it tells the story of a brutal raid on a remote village – a storm of chaos, blood, and steel. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy worlds and heavy guitar-driven sound. Hard Rock music inspired by AC/DC, lyrics inspired by the chaos beastmen of the Warhammer World. Recorded, mixed and mastered by the legendary Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Krokus, Helloween).

THE BLUTGOTT METAL UNIVERSE – Dark Fantasy Metal. There is no political or socio-critical message.

DEBAUCHERY – Death Metal Voice
BLOOD GOD – Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Vocals
BALGEROTH – German Lyrics

It’s not a band, it’s a universe. The BLUTGOTT Metal Universe, consisting of Debauchery, Blood God and Balgeroth.

20 Years of Monsters and Metal. Somewhere in between Judas Priest, Slayer, AC/DC, Rammstein and Bolt Thrower. 20 albums with over 40 CDs.

The lyrics are about the own dark fantasy world, the World of Blood Gods. Blood Gods are brutal demonic vampire dragons.

There are miniatures, a tabletop wargame, books and artworks.

Concerts of the various incarnations of the BLUTGOTT Metal Universe have been held throughout Europe, Russia and Asia. The draconic BLUTGOTT monsters were on tour with Doro, Saxon, Dismember, Napalm Death, Destruction and many other legends from the metal scene and played at major festivals such as Wacken, Summer Breeze and Bang Your Head. The albums are regularly in the top 50 of the official German album charts.

The main man behind BLUTGOTT is singer and guitarist, creator of artworks and monsters, author of the World of Blood Gods: Thomas Gurrath. The guy who gave up his job as teacher to become a full time metal artist.

“Legions Of Metal” is coming on 10 October  – Three bloody discs of old-school Heavy Metal and Hard Rock.

Recorded by Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Krokus, Helloween).

  • CD1: A full mix of Blutgott madness, plus some absolute legends joining the ride: Tim “Ripper” Owens – former singer of Judas Priest, and Michelle Darkness – the voice of End of Green.
  • CD2: Classic Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, like AC/DC getting into a bar brawl with Accept – and everyone wins.
  • CD3: The version with the Debauchery monster voice. Death metal growls that sound like a demon gargling lava.

Available as a 3CD digipack and the main album as a limited edition picture LP.

The new album by Ligurian esoteric-prog-metal band Il Segno Del Comando, titled “Sublimazione – Live”, is officially available.

The album does not include new material, rather live performances of previously released songs, recorded during the band’s tour during winter, and some bonus tracks from a 2022 concert in Netherlands: it’s been published to celebrate the project’s thirtieth anniversary.

Regarding the chosen title, project leader Diego Banchero stated: “SUBLIMATION, in an esoteric sense, refers to the culmination of a series of stages of spiritual evolution, but the term is used in the scientific field to indicate processes of purification and development. This live album also bears witness to the evolution of the band’s musical material, written over many years of activity and today re-proposed in a new guise, and performed by a line-up that has progressively grown, thanks to its commitment to artistic research.”

Il Segno Del Comando has indeed undergone an evolution also thanks to the arrival in 2024 of Paolo Serboli on drums.

The album has been officially released August 22nd and presented at the prestigious Rock Inn Somma Festival in Somma Lombardo (Italy); since its first edition in 2006, this festival has become a reference point for Italian underground metal and rock.

Tracks 1 to 7 have been recorded at Spazio Webo (Pesaro, IT) on January 31st 2025 while the bonus tracks have been recorded t-Blok (Netherlands) on October 30th 2022.

The album is a self-production made in partnership with the Genoese label Nadir Music; it’s available on CD and released on major digital platforms.

Il Segno del Comando’s actual line-up includes: Diego Banchero (bass), Davide Bruzzi (guitar and keyboards), Roberto Lucanato (guitar), Riccardo Morello (voice), Beppi Menozzi (keyboards) and Paolo Serboli (drums).

POWERWOLF Release Live Video for ‘Stossgebet’

Metal preachers POWERWOLF offer a first glimpse into their monumental upcoming live album, Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle), out February 27, 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 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 Collectors 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.
