They released their debut album, Return in Bloodred, in 2005. Their second album, Lupus Dei, was released in 2007. 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. Their seventh album, The Sacrament of Sin, was released on 20 July 2018. Their eighth album, Call of the Wild, was released on 16 July 2021.
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.

Let your mind go wild before the light
Here we come the army of the night
Mater Maria
Lined up side by side and bound to pray
Sent do die and fight the final day
Army of the night, we came to stay

Call on the heaven sent, amen

Bring on the sacrament, amen
Come to the other side

I was feeling down.
Watched the diggy diggy hole cover by wind rose.
Found the genre name, "power metal" apparently.
Search up absolute gem of a genre.
Find this. Click.
Music starts.
Visible joy.
Holy fuck, I haven't felt this good in a long time.
I swear this genre is like the second coming of christ.
FUCKING AWESOME.
