Powerwolf is preparing to release their new album, Call Of The Wild , on July 9th. This Friday, the 25th, the band presented their new single “Dancing With The Dead” to the world, which arrived along with a cinematic music video, following the production quality of their last release, “ Beast Of Gévaudan ”.
The music video for the new song visually illustrates the literal meaning of the title: dancing with the dead. In the images, we can see the vocalist, Attila Dorn , leading a beautiful young woman through a castle and dancing a romantic waltz, in the style of Beauty and the Beast . It doesn't take long for the young woman to notice strange details around her and begin to be tormented by made-up dancers, probably representing the dead in question, who won't let her escape.
Expectations are high for Call Of The Wild , and the release is seen as "an exciting new chapter" by the band. In a statement, guitarist Matthew Greywolf said that Powerful has never sounded "so powerful and wild, in the truest sense of the word."
Recently, the band invited Alissa White-Gluz , vocalist of Arch Enemy , for a reinterpretation of the song "Demons Are A Girl's Best Friend," which resulted in a fascinating music video subverting the original video . The song's lyrics were also altered to acquire a non-sexist and empowering tone for women.
