The monumental mass: A cinematic metal event

Description

Appearing as a Blu-ray + DVD package in A5 Mediabook. In late 2021, POWERWOLF, currently the most successful German metal band, fascinated audiences with a streaming event of unprecedented proportions. For those who thought they had seen everything in the live sector, this event proves them wrong with its powerful sound and stunning visuals. POWERWOLF set a new standard for music streaming events in late 2021. On July 8, 2022, THE MONUMENTAL MASS – A CINEMATIC METAL EVENT will finally be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and many other physical formats. For years, POWERWOLF has been known for epic metal moments of the highest order, but what they present at this streaming event surpasses anything seen before: a story was meticulously crafted over months, with multiple chapters told through music and elaborately staged film scenes. All the show effects, actors, and locations work together harmoniously, taking live music to a never-before-seen level. The audience is captivated by cinematic images, from battles with clergymen to stories of nuns and monks, to burning angels. Each song is accompanied by its own impressive stage design, perfectly executed – the set, size, and production are unparalleled. With a live premiere following one after another, interspersed with POWERWOLF classics, all presented in a stunningly produced soundscape. Songs like fan favorite 'Demon's Are A Girl's Best Friend,' 'Beast Of Gévaudan,' or the radio hit from their latest studio album 'Dancing With The Dead' artistically transport the wolves directly into the screenplay of their original music videos with the help of numerous actors. One of the many highlights of the show is Falk Maria Schlegel's bombastic pyro organ, which spits fire with each keystroke on songs like 'Fire And Forgive' and 'Amen & Attack.' In 'Cardinal Sin,' singer Attila Dorn hurls a self-righteous cardinal back into the flames, while during the ballad 'Where The Wild Wolves Have Gone,' snow falls onto the fire-dominated scene. Throughout all four chapters – Temptation, Sin, Confession, and Forgiveness – a high-quality pyro show is interwoven, sometimes subtly in the background, and at times dominating the scenery. A live spectacle that reveals even more details with each repeated viewing and solidifies POWERWOLF's status as the outstanding band of the genre! But that's not all – the Mediabook will include a special bonus, POWERWOLF's legendary headline show from Wacken 2019, entitled 'Hallowed Be The Holy Ground,' in its entirety. The show is also included in the Vinyl box. You can't get more live spectacle than this! THE MONUMENTAL MASS – A CINEMATIC METAL EVENT will be available in numerous formats, including a 96-page Earbook, a 48-page Mediabook, a Deluxe Box, a Vinyl Box, and other fantastic versions. The concept for THE MONUMENTAL MASS – A CINEMATIC METAL EVENT comes from POWERWOLF mastermind Matthew Greywolf, who is also involved in the screenplay, while Jörg Michael is responsible for the film production. Once again, Zsofia Dankova has created the artwork, and audio production, mix, and mastering are done by Kristian 'Kohle' Bonifer. Read more
