Preachers of the Night is the fifth studio album by German power metal band Powerwolf. It was released on 19 July 2013.[3] The band wrote it during 2012 and began recording it in December of the same year at the Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden.[4]

Critics reacted positively to the album, which became Powerwolf's first number one album on the German charts,[5] while also charting in several other countries.

Much like Blood of the Saints, Preachers of the Night includes in its deluxe version a bonus orchestral CD, titled The Sacrilege Symphony II.[6]

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