The front art has been created by Powerwolf guitarist Matthew Greywolf. Matthew comments on the release of Blood Of The Saints: "We're really excited about this album. It´s been a hard piece of work, but it was so goddamn worth it. I think on Blood Of The Saints we really delivered a striking balance of mighty melodic stuff and some serious wolfish metal madness, all dressed up in some highly catchy tunes. We can hardly wait until the album is finally out and we can celebrate these tunes together with all of you - be prepared!"

Powerwolf recently finished shooting a video clip for the song 'We Drink Your Blood', from the upcoming Blood Of The Saints album.
According to their sacral image and the concept of Blood Of The Saints, Powerwolf shot the video in an ancient monastery church.
“Shooting the video in such a special and atmospheric place was incredible”, comments organist Falk Maria Schlegel. “The combination of the sacral interior of the church, including altar, confessional box and a church organ with a lot of fire, fog and metal insanity was the perfect set for a Powerwolf video!”The song title, 'We Drink Your Blood', is an allusion to the congregation in the Christian liturgy, ‘Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant'. In their very own style, Powerwolf have adapted this to a typical suggestive horror story. Be prepared for a stunning video to a great metal hymn.
To give you a first glimpse about things to come, Powerwolf have revealed some making-of photography at this location.
A trailer for the video can be seen below:
