ALICE COOPER is inarguably one of the biggest names in the history of rock music. To honor his 75^th birthday on February 4, 2023, POWERWOLF has released a cover version of his larger-than-life song “Poison”. The 1989 hit single from the legendary album Trash is an absolute evergreen and known by every rock and metal fan worldwide. POWERWOLF pays tribute by adding their trademark sound to the song, without sacrificing the iconic structure of the original.

POWERWOLF on the cover:
“Over the years we have released several cover songs to pay tribute to artists / bands that we personally hold in high regard. With “Poison”, ALICE COOPER has created a timeless classic and we could not miss the opportunity to celebrate his 75th birthday (on February 4) with our own version.“

This new cover track arrives just a few weeks before POWERWOLF headlines stages in North America for the very first time – performing in cities such as New York City, Montreal, Los Angeles and more. Don’t miss your chance to join the wolfpack before it’s too late – shows are already selling out! See below for all upcoming tour dates.

POWERWOLF are undoubtedly one of the most celebrated and successful heavy metal bands of the last decade. Multiple #1 album chart entries, gold and platinum records, huge sold out arena shows, as well as headline slots at the biggest festivals have paved their way. In less than 20 years of band history, POWERWOLF has made it to the very highest league of heavy metal.

About POWERWOLF:
The story of POWERWOLF, beginning in 2004, reads like a true fairytale, but is the result of the efforts of one of the most hard-working and entertaining live band on the heavy metal planet. POWERWOLFhave secured a remarkable collection of gold and platinum awards, starting in 2015, when they reached Gold status for the first time in the Czech Republic with their album, Blessed & Possessed. Additionally, both Preachers Of The Night (2013) and the subsequent masterpiece The Sacrament Of Sin (2018), as well as the groundbreaking streaming event The Monumental Mass: A Cinematic Metal Event (2022), entered the German album and DVD charts at #1 (a massive achievement for an audio-visual release). The thrilling DVD, The Metal Mass, (2016) also secured the #1 spot on the German DVD charts. Most recently, the new studio album, Call Of The Wild, entered the album charts at #2 (and staying for 16 weeks in the charts) while the hit single “Dancing With The Dead” went gold and platinum. The Best Of album, Best Of The Blessed, released in 2020, also successfully entered the German charts at #2. POWERWOLF achieved massive success as they headlined large venues with their phenomenal stage performances on the almost completely sold out Wolfsnächte headline tours (2019 & 2022), as well as numerous summer festival shows in which crowds were thrilled and completely captivated by the wolves and their unique, (un)holy metal mass. Beyond many others, they’ve also headlined Wacken, Masters Of Rock, Summer Breeze – all massive live successes.  Once POWERWOLF performs the new studio album, Call of the Wild, for the first time ever, at their long-awaited debut North American shows in 2023, as well as the Easter mass in Cologne – with the special album Interludium, the whole world will be completely under the sign of the wolfpack once again!
