German Viking metallers VARG hit the official German album charts at #33 with their new effort, entitled Wolfskult. It's the very first time in the band's history they entered the charts.

The band comments on the chart entry as follows: "Wolfskult entering the official Germany album charts, it couldn't be any better! We'd like to thank everybody out there, who still buy albums! Only this way the music scene can survive, albums can have a killer production and a collectors item for the fans can be made! The cult is still growing and you've got the choice: Do you wanna be a lamb or a wolf inbetween the wolf pack?“

Wolfskult was released on March 4th via NoiseArt Records. The songs 'Schwertzeit' and 'Wir sind die Wölfe' are both streaming below:

Wolfskult was once again produced by Andy Classen (LEGION OF THE DAMNED, BELPHEGOR, DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER) at Stage One Studios and this time around."

Singer Freki calls: "We are still blown away by the killer production which Andy Classen did for the album. The sound is outstandingly amazing, and the main riff of “Wolfskult” will tear your spine in pieces. A choir of 50 real and true VARG fans and maniacs from Germany and Austria can be heard on “Wir sind die Wölfe” and with the 10-minute epic “Sehnsucht” we´ve accomplished the biggest and best piece in music of our history so far!”
