History Music / Powerwolf

* AlliterativeTitle: The band ''really'' seems to like songs that are in the "Letter & Letter" format, examples like Amen & Attack, Christ & Combat, Demons & Diamonds, Incense & Iron, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Murder at Midnight]],

--> "Christ of Mercy is unknown to us" (''Wolves of War'')

** ''We drink your Blood'': The intro synths are played at a higher pitch. Also, the reverb during the "We drink your Blood" background shouts and during the intro when the guitars kick in is more pronounced.

* TwistedEucharist: We Drink Your Blood is about vampires performing communion with actual blood.

** We Drink Your Blood is about vampires [[TwistedEucharist performing Holy Communion with actual blood in place of wine]], with explicit references to murdering people for the ritual.
** In The Name Of God is notable since it's about actual crusaders rather than supernatural creatures. At first it seems like an aversion since the lyrics have an epic, righteous tone to them, seemingly portraying the crusaders as righteous and courageous warriors. In the second verse however, their true colors start to show as they sing about slaughtering and plundering [[LyricalDissonance with the same epic, courageous tone as before.]]

* ADateWithRosiePalms: "Coleus Sanctus" means "holy balls" and is about the singer masturbating.

** "Coleus Sanctus" means "Holy Balls" in Latin. The song is about the singer having ADateWithRosiePalms.

* NotChristianRock: Despite incorporating Catholic themes into their songs and image, Powerwolf is definitely '''''NOT''''' a Catholic band. Song titles like "Coleus Sanctus", which means "Holy Balls"; "Sanctified With Dynamite", a song about suicide bombing; and "Resurrection by Erection", which is... well, ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin; should give a good hint.

** ''Kiss of the Cobra King'': The Drum intro is replaced with a pipe organ one, accompanied by choral arrangements. The lyrics (aside from the chorus) were also changed completely.

** ''Werewolves of Armenia'': Several ambient sounds (such as rain, thunder and a wolf howling) and background chants were added throughout the song. At the sime time, the "Haah!" shout at the end of the original was omitted. Also, instead of the second verse starting the same moment the first chorus ends, the main guuitar riff is repeated between the two.

** ''Werewolves of Armenia'': Several ambient sounds (such as rain, thunder or a wolf howling) and background chants were added throughout the song. At the sime time, the "Haah!" shout at the end of the original was omitted.
** ''We drink your Blood'': The intro synths are played at a higher pitch. Also, the reverb during the background "We drink your Blood" shouts is more pronounced.

* TheRemake: For their GreatestHitsAlbum ''Best of the Blessed'', all songs featured that predate the ''Preachers of the Night'' Album[[note]]''Kiss of the Cobra King'', ''Saturday Satan'', ''In Blood we trust'', ''Werewolves of Armenia'', ''Resurrection by Erection'', ''Sanctified with Dynamite'' and ''We drink your Blood''[[/note]] were rerecorded. Some of these newer version have more noticable changes from their respective originals than others.

** ''Werewolves of Armenia'': Several ambient sounds (such as rain, thunder or a wolf howling) and background chants were added throughout the song. At the sime time, the "Haah!" shout that at the end of the original was omitted.

* ''[[GreatestHitsAlbum Best of the Blessed]]'' (2020) [[note]]Notably, this release does not feature any original versions of the songs that predate the ''Preachers of the Night'' Album, but instead features [[TheRemake all new, rerecorded versions]].[[/note]]

* GratuitousGerman: Despite hailing from Germany, they sing almost all of their songs in English peppered with the occasional Latin phrase. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnMH7po4GMc Kreuzfeuer]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-CB2wkhaQU Stossgebet]] are the only exceptions, being sung entirely in German and Latin.

* VampireVords: Attilla Dorn, the singer, while being German and speaking perfect German and English, speaks with a heavy Eastern European accent while on stage and also in interview, due to their band's [[NightOfTheLivingMooks army of undead]] plus Catholicism gimmick.

* ''Call of the Wild'' (2021, not yet released)

* ADateWithRosiePalms: "Coleus Sanctus" means "holy balls" and is about the singer masturbating.

* IntercourseWithYou: Another interpretation of "Coleus Sanctus" and the most obvious interpretation of "Resurrection by Erection."

* NaughtyNuns: In the music video for "Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend" six nuns are seduced by Attila and the demons he calls upon into stripping off their clothes and engaging in (mild) satanic orgy. The album artwork for the song takes it even further.

* GratuitousRussian: Their song "Nochnoy Dozor" is Russian for "Literature/NightWatch", and is the Russian title of the novel.
