Powerwolf have never been particularly interested in the modest, understated approach to live music. Their idea of keeping things low-key usually involves only a medium-sized cathedral’s worth of theatrical excess. For autumn 2027, the German power-metal outfit are aiming at European arenas with the newly announced Moral & Madness World Tour, supported by Apocalyptica and Majestica.
Despite the tour’s worldwide-sounding name, the dates announced so far are European. Powerwolf also say the shows will accompany a new studio album and an ambitious stage production. An album title and exact release date were not provided in the announcement.
Powerwolf bring Apocalyptica and Majestica on the road
Finland’s cello-metal specialists Apocalyptica join as special guests, while Swedish power-metal band Majestica, featuring former Sabaton guitarist Tommy Johansson, open the evenings. It’s a combination of symphonic weight, melodic theatrics and enough sweeping arrangements to make the average stage monitor nervous.
Powerwolf promise their biggest production yet. That’s a promotional claim, of course, but the scale of the venues suggests nobody is planning to economize on scene.

And yes, the album tease is intriguing. But until we have the music and the details, let’s resist writing a five-star review of the lighting rig.
