The album's single "Amen & Attack" was released on 28 June 2013.[7][8]


Background


Powerwolf began writing their fifth album in 2012. They finished in the November of the same year.[4]

They recorded their album in December 2012 at the Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, and the process lasted until March 2013.[9] The album's cover art, created by the band's guitarist Matthew Greywolf, was unveiled on 2 May 2013.[10]

On 11 July 2013, Napalm Records released audio samples of all the tracks from the album on their YouTube channel.[11][12]


Critical reception


Metal.de commented: "Powerwolf are once again damned in love with detail, the new album is full of majestic opulence and pomp, epic grandeur, sing-along choruses and a healthy dose of self-irony. Effective, resounding, rousing".[13] Metal Hammer wrote: "To be honest: who occupies such a good, reliable and original drawer, must not be accused, in this to persist". The magazine pointed out that the new songs live among other things, because of their "unrestrained speed as extremely effective".[14]
