POWERWOLF Announce Cooperation With National Conservatory; New Album Release Dates Confirmed Metal Blade Records reports:
On their upcoming album,
POWERWOLF will cooperate with the Musikhochschule Saarbrücken, a Conservatory for classical music. Last week Attila and the pack spent two days at the conservatory recording choir arrangements for 8 of the songs of the album with a specially compiled choir of 25 men and women, most of them students or graduates of the conservatory. The choir was conducted by Francesco Cottone, who also composed the choir arrangements.
"It was overwhelming" frontman Attila Dorn reports. "It is a great privilege to work with such a professional choir and such a dedicated conductor. And we're not speaking of mercenaries here: All of the educated musicians did it for the honour, and some of the classical singers even outed themselves as real metal fans. We're absolutely excited about how great the choir stuff fits into the songs and how huge and heavy it all sounds. Expect a bunch of great anthems of majestic metal to come!"
The album as yet untitled will be mixed by
Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman in Sweden in February and will be released April 24th in Germany/Austria/Switzerland/Italy and April 27th in Europe.
