POWERWORLD Signs With SPV/STEAMHAMMER

German melodic metal band POWERWORLD, the brainchild of former FREEDOM CALL and MOON'DOC bassist Ilker Ersin, has inked a worldwide deal with SPV/Steamhammer. The band's new album, "Human Parasite", will be released in Europe on October 22 and in the USA/Canada on November 9. A European tour will take place in early 2011.

POWERWORLD's current lineup is as follows:

* Andrew "Mac"McDermott (SARGANT FURY, THRESHOLD) - Vocals
* Barish Kepic (JADED HEART) - Guitar
* Ilker Ersin (FREEDOM CALL, MOON'DOC) - Bass
* Nils Neumann (FREEDOM CALL) - Keyboards
* Achim Keller (VICTORY) - Drums

After his departure from FREEDOM CALL in the middle of 2005, Ersin decided to follow a different musical path and started to work on a project that contained more grooves and less power metal influences.
