The band entered the official German charts for the first time in 2009 with their third album, Bible of the Beast. Shortly after its release, their first drummer Stefan Gemballa (stage name Stéfane Funèbre) left the band. He was replaced by Tom Diener, who was replaced in 2011 by Roel van Helden. In the same year, the band released their fourth album, Blood of the Saints. In 2012, Powerwolf signed with Napalm Records and released Preachers of the Night in 2013. It has debuted at No. 1 in Germany. Their sixth album, Blessed & Possessed, released in 2015, was certified gold in the Czech Republic.

Audience engagement, and pyrotechnics are important parts of Powerwolf's stage show. The vocalist Attila Dorn often speaks directly to the audience and engages them in various activities, such as singing or shouting, before announcing the next song. The band calls their concerts a "heavy metal mass". Their stage setup was designed by Matthew Greywolf.

The lyrics to Powerwolf’s song, “Amen & Attack,” convey a message of perseverance and defiance against the obstacles of the world. The song begins with an invocation of truth, signifying the importance of honesty and authenticity. The repeated use of “In nomine” and “Amen,” alongside the German language in the chorus, adds a sense of ritual and spirituality to the song. The call to arms in the verses - “Stand and call against the storm,” “Fight the demons of this world,” and “Make them pray or make them pay” - encourages listeners to take action against adversity with fierce determination. The use of the phrase “with God on our side” alludes to the idea that this perseverance and defiance are backed by a higher power. The repetition of “Attack” throughout the chorus adds to the song’s intensity, emphasizing that these challenges must be met with a bold and aggressive attitude.
Overall, “Amen & Attack” seems to encourage listeners to stand firm in their beliefs and fight against the challenges that the world may throw at them. It is a call to take action with a bold and determined attitude, and to trust in something greater than oneself to help them succeed.

@mrkitloin
A holy knight dies a valiant death on the battlefield, but wakes up hell.
Wondering why he has been sent to be punished, he stands up and dusts off his still shining armor.
His still shining armor
Realizing this and noticing a weight at his side he draws his sword which now appears to be wreathed in a white flame.
And then it dawns on him.
He is not there to be punished, for he is the punishment.

The last show before their studio break takes place next Friday in Oberhausen. Be there!
Meanwhile, here's "Amen & Attack" off their album "Preachers Of The Night"!
@Cantatrice81
So, any idea abt a releasing date so far?
@frothfrenzy
Can't wait for more fruit-based music! A banana tank!

Oh, there's probably many! Just go on www.metal-archives.com and go to advanced search, and in the ''Genre'' section, type ''Power metal'' and in ''Lyrical Themes'' type ''christianity'' or ''religion'', you'll probably find some good ones. :)
