POWERWOLF - Killers With The Cross (Official Video) | Napalm Records

New POWERWOLF album "Wake Up The Wicked" out on July 26, 2024!

After spilling gallons of blood and fighting tirelessly, after only two albums with Napalm Powerwolf shot straight to the pole position of the official German album charts (and another album made it into the top three!). After selling out venue after venue and thrilling bigger and bigger hordes of fans, the time is right for a new chapter: The Sacrament Of Sin which offers a dozen metal psalms forged for all eternity!

Powerwolf entered Fascination Street Studios in Örebrö, Sweden starting in January 2018 to work on their seventh manifesto together with renowned producer Jens Bogren (Opeth, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth). The result is brimming with the Germans` trademark sound, and yet the band have recorded their boldest and most adventurous album to date! ‘Where the wild wolves have gone‘ even marks the first ballad in Powerwolf history – whereas ‘Nightside of Siberia‘ does the exact opposite and turns out to be one of the heaviest tunes the fivepiece have ever written. ‘Incense And Iron‘ simply MUST be part of every future setlist with its folky nature and anthemic catchiness; and epic single ‘Fire & Forgive‘ brilliantly melts infectious melodies into timeless, heavy shredding.

The Sacrament Of Sin overwhelms both with sophisticated songwriting and sheer aggression – and proves once more why Powerwolf are the one and only true high priests of heavy metal!!!

[Cofixx]

Powerwolf deserves a lot more fame. Who's with me?

[rayven]

That solo just brought me to tears for 2 reasons
1. It was awesome
2. I wanna play like that

[allengodwin]

I'm an old headbanger from way back (in case someone is wondering, I'm 58 years old) and I just discovered these guys today and love their stuff!!! One of the best new bands I've heard in a long time! Keep it up Powerwolf, you have a hell of a career ahead of you!!!

[retronicsmythe]

I am so sorry. 52 years on this planet and I only find this brilliant band yesterday! Where the hell have you been all my life? I was at my lowest, broken, then I find Powerwolf. I am blessed and now reborn.

[Sir-Bane]

I'm a simple person... I see a Powerwolf video... I thumbs up, save for later and add to favourites...

[jacquesbouchard]

I'm glad my 18 years old son introduced me to your music! Finally some great music!!!! Makes me want to go back playing!!

[oliverhoschi]

THIS is the hymn of Powerwolf. The best of the best. The icing on the cake.

[cryser]

How can someone have such a powerful voice

Lyrics

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem
Creatorem caeli et terrae
Et in Iesum Christum, Filium Eius unicum
Dominum nostrum
Qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto

In the night came the killers with the cross

From the land of war and plague
Came the prophecies of fate
And the word of God was long forsaken

On the stone upon the grave
Told the glory of the brave
And their legacy was all forgotten

In the hands of heaven sent
Come to fight and to defend
By the word we praise the holy name

Cacum domine

In the night came the killers with the cross
In the light of the moon when our lives are lost
In the dark when your blood is calling
In the dusk when the fever's crawling
In the night came the killers with the cross

From their destiny they wake
Bring hypocrisy and hate
And the land of God had long been parted

Stand our ground for heavens name
Out for mercy and for pain
By the dawn, we raise the glory flame

Cacum domine

In the night came the killers with the cross
In the light of the moon when our lives are lost
In the dark when your blood is calling
In the dusk when the fever's crawling
In the night came the killers with the cross

In the night came the killers with the cross
In the light of the moon when our lives are lost
In the dark when your blood is calling
In the dusk when the fever's crawling
In the night came the killers with the cross

In the night came the killers with the cross
In the light of the moon when our lives are lost
In the dark when your blood is calling
In the dusk when the fever's crawling...

Lost a life to the killers with the cross
In the light of the moon when our lives are lost
In the dark when your blood is calling
In the dusk when the fever's crawling
In the night came the killers with the cross

UPDATE***

[IronBear]

"In the night came the killers with the cross
And the winged hussars arrived."

[ghosthost]

Imagine being a vampire and hearing this song in the distance

[EverecentMoon]

Powerwolf is special to me because it has such a great way of story telling combines with great instrumentals, another reason why I like Sabaton aswell. Just proof that Napalm Records only accepts fantastic and story driven bands

[PureEvil]

I heard they were reforming the Dawnguard.

[sbonel]

Still a better love story than Twilight.

[WillcraftAnimations]

Falk seems to have gotten bigger roles in the last few music videos. And here I thought I was special for having him as my favourite.

In the night came the killers with the cross

From the land of war and plague
Came the prophecies of fate
And the word of God was long forsaken
On the stone upon the grave
Told the glory of the brave
And their legacy was all forgotten
In the hands of heaven sent
Come to fight and to defend
By the word we praise the holy name

Eaeum domine

In the night came the killers with the cross
In the light of the moon when our lives are lost
In the dark when your blood is calling
In the dusk when the fever's crawling
In the night came the killers with the cross

From their destiny they wake
Bring hypocrisy and hate
And the land of God had long been parted
Stand our ground for heaven's name
Out for mercy and for pain
By the dawn, we raise the glory flame

Eaeum domine

In the night came the killers with the cross
In the light of the moon when our lives are lost
In the dark when your blood is calling
In the dusk when the fever's crawling
In the night came the killers with the cross

In the night came the killers with the cross
In the light of the moon when our lives are lost
In the dark when your blood is calling
In the dusk when the fever's crawling
In the night came the killers with the cross

In the night came the killers with the cross
(In the night came the killers with the cross)
In the light of the moon when our lives are lost
(In the light of the moon when our lives are lost)
In the dark when your blood is calling
In the dusk when the fever's crawling
Lost a life to the killers with the cross
(Lost a life to the killers with the cross)
In the light of the moon when our lives are lost
(In the light of the moon when our lives are lost)
In the dark when your blood is calling
In the dusk when the fever's crawling
In the night came the killers with the cross

Back in the early 90s, when Metal was all but dead, MTV, alternative rock and grunge turned the world into a musical wasteland, I would never have guessed that I would be watching metal videos like this in the second decade of the 21st century.
What a time to be alive!

[josephscalone]

Powerwolf is getting better and better with every cd they do, \m/

[paullerocq]

Everything is perfect about the song: music, lyrics, tempo, video, make up and story. I ´ve been listening and watching this in repeat mode for almost 48 hs. Something that rarely happens to me with one track. Congrats, WOLF. You´re really, POWER-ful.
