Future historians will look back and say "it appears that in the early 21st Century there existed a Christian fire cult, long after fire worship was supposed to have been common."
werewolves please. christianity is too weak.
'Tis quite plausible that ancient human civilization worshipped the male penis. Believing that the human soul could in fact, return to the body once it was erected"
Average history book circa 3444
It will be interesting if we ever lose the Internet and historians have to interpret things like black metal
Armata Strigoi is actually about Vlad the Impaler or Vlad the III a Wallachian (part of modern-day Romania) ruler who led brutal attacks against the Ottoman Empire when they invaded Romania, attacking at night disguised as turks slaughtering hundreds in their sleep including three high ranking generals and almost the Sultan himself. When the turks finally reached the capital of Wallachia they found it deserted and filled with the impaled bodies of turkish prisoners of war. Vlad the III became the inspiration for Dracula and modern-day vampires, the name Dracula actually comes from his nickname "Dracu" which meant dragon in ancient romanian and later became a term referring to the Devil and demons in general.
One of the Regions of Romania is named Wallachia, the southern region I believe.
Yeah, you're right.
@@user-yy7tw9hv9n yes
Moldavia is right next to wallachia
AFAIU, Strigoi can refer to various type of undead depending on historical and geographical context. Often some kind of vampire or banshee.
Draculea is "[son] of Dragon" with "Dragon" being his father Vlad II because of his membership in Order of the Dragon referring to the dragon defeated by St George.
Resurrection by Erection was filmed at Bloodstock festival from 2019 here in the UK. It is weird that you have a studio track playing over the live video... as the live version is arguably better
they're probably avoiding copyright or smth
Funny thing is, the official video would be better to watch, the live version better to listen to (at least quite a few cases)
@@peak2381 avoiding copyright by playing the entire song lmao?
I have never in my entire live, come about a video of a life version that sounds better than the studio version. Yes it might capture some parts that only happen during life concerts, but those are really only better if you are actually there. The soundquality is most of the time rather lacking compared to the studio version. The latter just always sounds more clean.
@@ShadeScarecrow you definitely need to listen to Nightwish then
Strigoi is a mythological Romania creature. It says that strigoi are the evil spirits of the dead, that appear either in animal or ghost like form and have an unending thirst for blood. They are shapeshifters but can also mind control people how are in a weak mind state ( drunk people, people with mental issue and so on). Also there name is a derivation from the Romania word "Striga" which means screaming. They have this name because of the screeching and horrifying sounds that they make late at night. Plus this song also make a reference to Vlad the impaler and how he and his army attacked the ottomans when they tried to invade Wallachia ( which along side Transylvania and Moldovia make the current Romania ) at night disguising as ottoman soldiers and infiltrating in killing 3 generals and almost killing the sultan himself. When the sultan finally reached the capital of Wallachia, all the people there where gone along side the impaled body's of the ottoman soldiers. Vlad the impaler also inspired Dracula, coming from Dracu which is the Romania word for devil but also means in Latin Dragon, which is from the order he was in, Order of the Dragon ( Ordo Draconum), an order made to protect Christianity from the ottoman invasion.
Wow, excellent background primer! Thank you, - Anamaria
@@MetalAcademix You're very welcome. Is my pleasure to talk to people that are interested in my culture.
Yeah I basically just sum it up as "The vampire/werewolf legend before it got split in two"
the whole Sacrament Of Sin album is absolute gold for me as a big PW fan :) I saw them live twice and both times they were amazing, they are like Sabaton in this respect: their studio albums are great, but if you see them live... holy shit :D
Definitely could have picked the three songs just from that album - my favorite for sure! Wanted to spread out their discography a bit though - looking forward to see what they come out with next!
I'd like to see PW incorporate a live choir as backing vocals - seems like a natural fit for the Metal Mass, no? -Michael
Literally the very first video that appeared on my RUclips today. And oh my... glorious 28 minutes of Powerwolf related stuff. It has been a long time since I found out about Powerwolf and I still can't get enough of them! They even made me buy my very first guitar and learn it. Can't wait for 2021 so we can finally see them live again! And huge thanks to both of you for making such content, love you guys! \m/
I'm following powerwolf ever since the release of blood of the saints. Its true that they are pretty catchy and the roman catholic theme doesn't appeal to everyone, but you should give them a try. And yeah they are way better live. And btw. I was at the live-show in the video you showed for Fire and Forgive. It was at summer breeze festival in 2018 with a crowd of 40.000 people. The crowdresponse was amazing and the flamethrowers heated everything up. I think you can still watch the full show on youtube.
Wow, this sounds like the perfect concert! It makes my thirst for live music even more acute - but at least I have something to aim for once the restrictions are over! Super showpeople, Powerwolf! - Anamaria
Armata Strigoi is a great song to watch live, the crowds really get into that.
I was there too... Fully agree, it was awesome.
Fire & Forgive, also known as the unofficial anthem of the Salamanders legion/chapter of Space Marines from Warhammer 40k... At least it should be
Let's be honest, most Powerwolf songs would fit all too well into Warhammer
_Resurrection by Erection_ just screams Emperor's Children and _Beast of Gevaudan_ fits with Russ' Space Wolves.
I saw Powerwolf at Bloodstock Festival which is were the footage of resurrection was filmed. I went primarily for Scorpions, they were the main band i was there for. But I also could not wait to see Sabaton, Parkway Drive, Children of Bodom and Queensryche among others. Really didn't know anything by Powerwolf at the time but thought they could be alright. They were honestly the highlight of the weekend for me. Even better than Scorpions.
Armata Strigoi is a board game as well. It is made by Powerwolf and uses their imagery. And speaking as a game designer, it's a pretty good game as well, highly recommended.
Is there a resurrection card? -Michael
@@MetalAcademix Unfortunately no but they did name all of the cards after their songs. Although when you die you do immediately come back so I suppose you could say that counts.
@@eostyrwinn5018 Damn - just Googled it. At least they called the expansion "Resurrection by Expansion" 😆 -Michael
The Amrata Strigoi is an official Powerwolf Boardgame
Good job love power metal keep up good work love watching ya peps keep it up
Army of the night... poppish... I hope you meant by the metal standards, not like a full blown pop music. That song for me is something, that pump my blood whenever I'm down. It's a great one. :)
I was live at the Summerbreeze, which the video of "Fire and Forgive" is from. It was simply awesome.
I wish I was there. Those pyrotechnics 😍😍 - Anamaria
Oh with the lyrics it makes a whole load of sense than when I am just listening to the music by ear
This song always makes me remember a joke...
Anyway, Powerwolf makes Heavy Metal with Church organ style, that is a particular trait this band has.
It would be great to sing "fire and forgive" in a Catholic mass. xD
last time i saw Powerwolf live was at summerbreeze festival in 2015, i never carried so many crowdsurfers in my life lmao, i counted 11 that went over my head alone :D it was fucking awesome!
I love the song Fire and Forgive. It’s my favorite of the 3
And even better with flamethrowers! 🔥🔥🔥 -Michael
Fuckin' love Powerwolf. My favourite tune by them is probably Amen & Attack. Kicks a hole through your chest. \m/
Great reaction guys. Keep the good working, Fuego y perdon! xd
😂😂🤘 -Michael
Been a fan since day one, probly my favorite band right now, their newest collection just came out, Best of the Blessed and its a collection of rerecorded classics and live tracks, these guys just cant write a bad song....lol... Glad youre getting more turned onto them... Attilla is one of the most powerful voices in metal, just so damn good....lol... Great job!!!! Love you guys...
Powerwolf is just so much fun. Silly songs with goofy lyrics but it’s honestly great power metal and awesome to listen to.
What they are not silly song with goofy lyrics
@@Poisoned_toad You just lessen to resurrection by erection and you say this?
I think that was me you were referring to about the boardgame, i think i mentioned that in a an old comment...lol... Yeah the game is amazing and the funny thing was, customs called my house cuz i had to get the game as a German import, was a fortune in shipping to NJ, lol, but the customs guy who called sounded all sheepish when he asked what it was, he thought it was something military and when i told him it was a boardgame he laughed and said ok, we're sending it through!!!....lol... Its about the wolves fighting vampires in this cool cathedral type board, you'd love it!!!....lol
You should definitely check out ORDEN OGAN: Come With Me to the Other Side and Ashen Rain
I have heard about the band but did not listen much. I know they have a new album this year, so maybe indeed we should do a review of OO. Thanks for the tip! - Anamaria
If you're looking for a hidden gem, one of my favorites is Murder at Midnight. Highly recommend give it a listen.
I first heard Army of the Night and then start exploring other songs. They are awesome for relaxing.
And, as I commented on other videos, you should really do Nanowar of Steel review, just to equalize epicnes.
Nanowar is almost *too much* parody... - Anamaria
@@MetalAcademix can't argue with this. But it's too much fun!)
@@Elnadrius If Angus McFife appears in more songs, maybe 😂 -Michael
@@MetalAcademix then - Alestorm? 😅 Please!
As you seems to be mostly into the power metal genre, you should take a look at a pretty much unknown swedish band called Cryonic Temple. I think the song The Midas Touch (Samurai) could be a hit
The board game is very cool, it can play up to 5 persons. Each player plays a member of the wolf pack (represented by each member of the band), fighting the last fortress of vampires. The extension with succubus is quite fun also.
if you want funny lyrics, listen to Alestorm
Ahh yes, Alestorm, Known for those funny lyric songs
@SL3DG3 and Shit Boat.
strigoi is a type of vampire
Yea, "armata strigoi" and "armata de strigoi", are romanian(and other languages too, except the second one).The song mentions two of the states that formed Romania(Moldavia and Wallachia).Easily my fav song from them, prolly because I'm a bit biased, but oh well.
Cool to highlight the history of countries that don't get as many mentions. Do you have any idea how the band came across this theme of "strigoi"? - Anamaria
@@MetalAcademix No clue to be honest.Tho from what I remember the vocalist created his persona Attila Dorn as being a half romanian and half hungarian(the real guy being german tho).I asume they pretty much studied the history of European countries and ofc Romania has plenty of stories about Vlad Tepes,Dracula, strigoi and so on.
Alright, I didn't know that about the Attila Dorn persona. Powerwolf take their alter egos really seriously - which makes it more fun for the public / fans.
You mentioning the Scythians reminded me of Scyth by Hulkoff which is about the mercenary work of the Scythian tribes. Other good songs by then are Einherjr which is about a modern day Viking willing to die in combat, Last of the Dragonriders which can have different interpretations and Ibor and Aio that has Joakim from Sabaton singing. The only problem is that only Last of the Dragonriders has a video and it’s a lyric video. So it might be hard to find anything besides the art of the cover as a video.
Clarification: When I said Last of the Dragonriders, I meant to say just Dragonrider. I got the lyrics and title mixed up. Also, the descriptions I gave for the songs are what I believe they are and can be interpreted how one wants when they listen.
Those damn Scythians - murderers of Conan's people 😢 I haven't heard of Hulkoff before, it sounds...interesting. Korpiklaani with a dash of pirate metal? Anyway, will dig into it! - Michael
Love these guys, check out Lordi, and even Steel panther "Hard rock hallelujah" eurovision is where most learned of Lordi.
since your mom watches your gonna have to skip steel panther's "gloryhole"
I'm in the same boat in that I do like Powerwolf, but I'm not a huge fan of them. I do own the album that has 'Demons Are A Girls Best Friend', but that's it.
*Ymfah intesifies*
It's nice to see adult people making reaction videos, I'm tired of them kids laughing away on average things, the adults kinda respect the effort put into the music and the videos
I'm curious where you found the animation in the background at 0:00
Ripped it from one of their lyrics videos! -Michael
How the hell did you manage to sit still through those songs??
Thanks for sharing your stories! Now I'm very curious about what you did in Ukraine.
Haha, I've been to Kiev a few times - it's one of my favorite cities! I have a good friend from there and wouldn't miss the chance to catch Powerwolf, it was their first concert in Ukraine - and the crowd delivered big time. Short answer: Georgian restaurants, cocktail bars, and Motherland are my favorites. But I've also hung out in Dreamtown, caught the light show for День Києва, and cheered on Dynamo 🇺🇦 Hopefully you'll get the references! -Michael
Can you please react to the band 'Beyond the black' ?
Could you guys react to HammerFall - Titan and Dominion Old vs New :)
Hmm, good idea to compare old versus new! I'll put it in the pipeline - there should be at least one old school Hammerfall battle coming out before then :) -Michael
where are my plate armor and flamberge, it's time to conquer something
Англоговорящие люди из Швеции обозревают песню группы из Германии, а их обзор смотрит русский. Звучит забавно)

Thanks again for your efforts!

Hey drumsy
Hey Zachary
I haven't listened to Powerwolf, although I come across the name alot. There is another German band from the 1990s that you may like:

check rammstein live out also she are also very good on stage
why is this man dressed like your average door-to-door mormon missionary?
Trying to spread to Good News, my friend 🙌 -Michael
is a germany Band
das girl is cool
Ah, dang it. @5:21 you can tell the vocalist is lip-syncing. Wish this was actual live audio.
I think Strigoi is like a "dirty" vampire
Not really
Strigoi are the evil shapeshifting spirits of the dead, that usually appear in animal or ghost form with an unending thirs for blood and can control people how are in a weak mind state ( drunk people, people with mental issue and so on). Also there name is a derivation from the Romania word " Striga" which means screaming. They have this name for the screeching and horrifying sounds that they make late at night.
The song Stoßgebet: SchtoSgEbEt
SSEE - Gotta work on my German! 🤣 -Michael
If you have not yet, take a look at Ningen Isu.
I recognize the name from the comments under our Galneryus episode. Is it the Japanese folk metal band? - Anamaria
@@MetalAcademix Japanese yes, but more heavy metal.
watch original video)
Is he lipsyncing? :O
It's kind of weird that you call Attila by his stage name but the keyboardist, Falk Maria Schlegel, by his "real" name. Good video otherwise though.
OK, your girlfriend is romanian?
It always amazes me how ignorant arw thw youtubers reacting to stuff. I mean, it takes 5 minutes to do a basic research for god sake
Please be more precise in your critique. What is it that you think we got wrong here? Thank you for your feedback - Anamaria
@@MetalAcademix i mean the reference to the song armata strigoi. While they have their origin in romanian mythology, In modern pop culture the strigoi reference the slovaquian vampire, such as stoker's dracula. So, armata strigoi translates as " army of vampires".
While i already knew this, it took me 5 minutes to search for the info again. My pinta then is: if you are going to be talking about something you should know at least the bear minimum as a sign of respect for your audience.
I see this again and again: youtubers reacting to videos make gross mistakes when talking abot the artists they're reviewing or show very little interest in actually knowing what the artist is about.
My 2 cents guys, it's really annoying.
I appreciate you getting back to me, Jose. Critique is best when it's concrete, then it becomes useful. Armata Strigoi was something many în our audience wanted to engage with, as you can see by perusing the comments. Sometimes we are happy to ask the public to contribute with their own thoughts and information 1 an exercise in the wisdom of the crowds, if you wish.
In case you are interested in more Powerwolf, stay tuned 😉 - Anamaria
