Wake Up the Wicked is the tenth studio album by German heavy metal band Powerwolf. It was released on 26 July 2024 via Napalm Records. [1]
Blabbermouth.net described the work as "an album full of instantly memorable heavy metal anthems, all ornately dressed in the quasi-religious trappings and orchestral extravagance that have become such important trademarks". [2]
Alec Chillingworth of Louder Sound states that "swimming in the Sabaton/Manowar moat rather than their Maiden/Priest paddle-pool of yore, Bless 'Em With The Blade rips Wake Up The Wicked open by reducing Deicide's career to one line: 'Tear up the Bible'" and "It's bubonically catchy heavy metal built for outdoor stages, choirs squeezing through honking organs, tearaway leads and frontman Attila Dorn's überhensch operatics". [3]
All tracks are written by Matthew Greywolf.
