 Interview With Powerwolf - 13th August 2010
Photo Of PowerwolfEllie and Alan caught up with Powerwolf back stage at Bloodstock to talk about the Wolf concepts, how the band began and so much more.

How did Powerwolf begin?
It was five years ago when heavy metal at the little in Romania and we released our first album “Return in Bloodred” and the following albums in 2007 and 2009.

Where do the majority of your musical influences come from?
I can only speak for myself. Bands like Forbidden and Nevermoor, I am influenced by them because of their live sets, such an amazing atmosphere especially Forbidden.

Where did the all the "Wolf" concepts come from?
It was a kind of development, we came up with the idea for our first album because singer Attila Dorn is Romanian and into Romanian mythology and it was a development from that along with religious beliefs.

How are you finding the UK?
This is our first show ever, its quite impressing that we have had the chance to play here.

How well has your 2009 album Bible of the Beast received?
Very good, in Germany it entered the charts which is really special for a band like Powerwolf and the reaction from the band was good. We have been getting a lot of emails from the UK saying that we should play lots of Festivals over here, which is quite amazing.

Are you looking forward to headlining the second stage at Blodstock?
Yes, very much.

How did you feel about being nominated for the Metal Anthem of the year?
Yes, it was for "Raise Your Fist Evangelist", you are very well informed. We were up against the likes of Rammstein so to be nominated at such a prestigious awards is amazing.

Where do you see Powerwolf in a few years time?
Writing the songs for the fourth album, come back to the UK, keep playing festivals like this really.

Will there be a UK tour in the pipeline?
I hope so, I don't know if it will be a headline tour or support but anything would be good. The stage is very important though as we have our special church things on stage with us, so therefore we need a lot of room and a small show would not fit.

Have you any funny tour stories that you would share with us?
When we were on tour once we played a show in Barcelona and one evening we went up to this church and there were some men doing work on it. So we were a bit drunk and started to climb th scaffolding and we got into a bit of trouble.

What made you want to be in a band or pick up your first instrument?
I am the organ player it's the only instrument but I have always wanted to play the drums because its so powerful. But I decide to be the front organ player.

Finally out of a giraffe or a zebra, what you rather be?
A zebra because you can hide.
