Power metal warriors Warkings – release cover of “Live is Life”

Power metal warriors WARKINGS celebrate their energetic shows with a new single: their cover of “Live is Life” honors fellow Austrians Opus. Originally released in 1984, the song became an international hit. Similarly, WARKINGS stormed the top 10 of the German and Austrian charts with their latest album, Armageddon, released in the summer of 2025. Now, the quintet turns “Live is Life” into a power metal anthem with a charming 80s vibe—headbanging to this will leave you with a melody stuck in your head.
 
Of course, WARKINGS are using their new live anthem to expand their legions this summer. Their latest campaign will lead them to various European festival grounds—among them, Copenhell, Alcatraz, and Elbriot. Find the full list of dates below!
 
The Tribune about “Live is Life”:
“When we forged our own WARKINGS version of ‘Live is Life’, we never expected it to become such a massive anthem. But once we played it live on tour, our warriors and shield maidens in the crowd sang every word with us—and from that moment, we knew this song had become part of our battle hymn arsenal. The energy and the unity—it was impossible to ignore. This song belongs to our legion as much as to us.”
