Rewrite the page! edit
What is meant by: ...""brothers""..., I'm talking about the quotation marks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.83.136.144 (talk) 21:15, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
They aren't brothers. That's just the not so serious story of the band. --93.104.7.131 (talk) 01:15, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
I found where most of the sources of this wiki article came from. Word by word actually. from the Bio/lyrics website. I sourced it, but I think it's only right to rewrite the page so that it is not plagiarizing the source! I also added another source for the information on the recording of their second album. Can a wikipedia article have word for word information from its sources. Personally, I don't think so. (Detectivefingerling (talk) 00:42, 27 February 2009 (UTC))
The band is not a satanist band and I don't really see where's that coming from. The band themselves stated that they're not focusing on a single religion at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.221.7.168 (talk) 13:48, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Removed: ', though the latter is done ironically.' about religion. There's no source given and nothing points to that being a fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.29.104.6 (talk) 21:33, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
It seems that the cover album Metallum Nostrum (http://www.metal \ -observer.com/3.o/review/powerwolf-metallum-nostrum/) is missing from the discography. Also, why is that website blocked? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.69.124.121 (talk) 08:19, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
Real Names edit
Assuming they are known, the real names of the band members should be listed. Listing them as their pseudonyms is not particularly proper for an encyclopedia.99.111.150.112 (talk) 17:32, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Musical style edit
- "Their musical style is mainly considered power metal, speed metal, progressive metal, german metal, neo classical metal, Soul and Metal."
This description from https://www.wegow.com is also used for Avantasia, Rage, Rhapsody, Blind Guardian, Evergrey, Bloodbound...
- Doom Metal: "Powerwolf are putting less weight on doom metal..." http://www.disagreement.net/reviews/powerwolf_lupusdei.html "el power , el heavy y el doom metal" https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/powerwolf/return-in-bloodred/
True, "The Evil Made Me Do It" and "Lucifer in Starlight" from "Return in Bloodred" have a doom metal influence. But that's about it...
- Speed Metal: "...and a greater stylistic affinity with the speed metal roots of German forefathers Accept and Helloween..." https://www.sonicperspectives.com/album-reviews/powerwolf-the-sacrament-of-sin/ and "...die ebenso harte wie flotte Speed-Metal-Nummer „Christ & Combat“..." https://www.metal.de/reviews/powerwolf-blessed-possessed-61634/
"A greater stylistic affinity with the roots of..." doesn't by all means suggest that Powerwolf have anything to do with speed metal (which they don't) and "Christ & Combat" is a pure power metal song.
- Gothic Metal: "...the five-piece conclude with a seven-minute gothic metal epic..." https://www.loudersound.com/features/powerwolf-meet-power-metals-batshit-crazy-secret-weapon
