Powerwolf – Wake Up the Wicked: A Comforting Metal Revelation

Two perspectives on the band Powerwolf’s album Wake Up the Wicked. One review praises the album as a strong sequel to Call of the Wild, highlighting its memorable and symphonic tracks like “Kyrie Klitorem” and “Joan of Arc,” and asserting it’s a great entry point for newcomers. The other source also finds the album musically comforting despite its potentially sinister title, celebrating the invigorating instrumentation, epic vocals, and the masterful production, although it acknowledges that some critics have called the album generic and less heavy than previous releases. Ultimately, both sources express positive opinions of the album.
