[DID NOT ATTEND: September 12, 2024] Powerwolf / Unleash the Archers
My I’ve never heard of Powerwolf but I saw this big announcement that
German Metal Juggernauts Powerwolf Announce Their First Ever North American Dates
And I briefly got caught up in the excitement, but I was going to shows the two nights before and had had two Pearl Jam shows a few days before. So I didn’t get tickets.
I’ve since listened to them and, well, I do certainly love melodic anthemic metal and as the Wikipedia summary says
The group uses religious themes and images, as well as corpse paint, gothic-tinged compositions and songs about werewolf and vampire legends.
This show was either a super fun headbanging sing along or a massive moshpit that I would have hated.
Unleash the Archers are a Canadian power metal band from British Columbia. The first song I listened to by them was Northwest Passage which features the lyrics
Ah, for just one time, I would take the Northwest PassageTo find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort SeaTracing one warm line through a land so wide and savageAnd make a Northwest Passage to the sea
It is sung in a sea shanty style, without music for much of the song. I’m so intrigued by the band. Not sure that I like them, but they have piqued my interest to be sure.
Although listening to a bit more, I’m not interested in seeing them.
