German pagan/black metallers Varg gather their followers and call for a joint ritual: on 22 May, they will share a recording of a special evening with their first live album, Live At Wolfszeit Festival 2024. Recorded at the group's very own festival, it contains thrilling live versions of 16 tracks. Live At Wolfszeit Festival 2024 invites you to be part of the home match, both as an audio and a video recording (Blu-ray format). Filmed with 13 cameras, this live experience unfolds particularly well-rounded, from instrument details to the enthusiastic crowd.
Along with the announcement of the epic recording, Varg release their first single, "Immer Treu (Live At Wolfszeit Festival)", originally released on their most recent studio album, Ewige Wacht (2023), which secured the band their biggest chart success to date. With this song, Varg show their closeness to their fans and cement their connection to the scene—after all, the band has been at the forefront of German pagan metal for years. The new version of "Immer Treu" shows Varg at the peak of their creative powers, with clear production, a rousing show, and an unbroken spirit.
Varg on "Immer Treu": "'Immer Treu' is more than a song—it's an oath between us and our fans. When hundreds of voices sing the lines back to you in a live setting, it creates a moment that gets under one's skin. That's exactly the power that we wanted to convey with our first single off of this album".
Supported by their home environment, Varg keep the flame alive and cement their leading position in the German pagan scene with Live At Wolfszeit Festival 2024. A unique demonstration of power by a band at the peak of their creative powers—at least until Varg call for the next Wolfszeit coming in August...
Varg on Live At Wolfszeit Festival 2024: "With Live At Wolfszeit Festival 2024, we are immortalising one of the most intense moments in our band's history. Fire, thunderous choirs, and pure emotions merge into an atmosphere that sweeps everything away. This album is the gateway to the innermost circle of the wolf pack—and the answer to a question we always ask together: Are you with us? We are with you!" Link
