FEUERSCHWANZ-Das elfte Gebot

“Meister der Minne.” kicks things off with a turn and a half. Shifting through the strands of time before kicking into another gear.

“Metfest,” works the crowd, bringing in some cracking new elements and turning the tide on a shift and a half.

“Das Elfte Gebot,” is simply epic. The instrumentation, the vocal melodies, all of it comes together very nicely.

“Kampfzwerg,” hits the hammer hard, pushing through for the ultimate good time.

“Im Bauch des Wals,” saunters through and turns to the mighty north.

“Mission Eskalation,” strides into being, pushing things and ensuring the listener gets a real sense of where things are going.

“Schildmaid,” takes a unique turn, bringing together some new melodies and adding an extra bite to them.

“Malleus Maleficarum,” brings the acoustic and folky edges to the fore and shows that the tide is slowly turning toward something new and refreshing.

“Lords Of Powermet,” is heavy. The riffs push through and turn the tide quite nicely.

“Totentanz,” is an interesting concoction of heavy riffs with folky side bars.

“Unter dem Drachenbanner,” saunters through. Swaggering with grace and might.

“Ding,” hits hard.

“Hier kommt Alex,” slows things down and gets reflective.

“Amen and Attack,” takes a classic Powerwolf and gives it new life, making it even more terrifying than the first draft.

“I See Fire,” makes a weak song, much heavier.

“Gott mit Uns,” is heavy and fast, furiously cascading into a new world.

“Limit,” turns dark.

“Engel,” rolls the punches and turns the divide.

The album is out on 26th June via Napalm Records.
