The thirteenth album, which Ronnie Atkins called the band's best song for song.
A twelfth album after four years, led by "Little Drops of Heaven," that put the band back on a steady release cycle.
The tenth album and the last of the Massacre years; months later the band's management collapsed and a long stall began.
The first full album after signing to CBS, opening on a passage from Carmina Burana.
A sixth album issued first in Japan on Epic/Sony; the European Massacre pressing followed in 1995.
A fourth album made after the band nearly folded, with Flemming Rasmussen producing again and a John Sykes song covered.

The sixth album and the last with Iuri Sanson — released weeks after the mass departure was announced, and so the closing chapter of the band's first era.
The eighth album and the first with new singer Ângelo Parisotto — Seneca's On the Shortness of Life as its subject, released in the band's thirtieth year.
A fourth album with new guitarist Renato Osorio and a move to AFM Records — and once again the Japanese edition came out first.
A second album that came out in Japan first, led to Loud Park the next year, and made Japan this band's principal market.
The third album folds organ and choir into the structure itself and produces “Werewolves of Armenia” — the point where the band's language settles.
The sixth album, home to “Army Of The Night” and “Armata Strigoi” — blessing and possession set against each other in the most direct terms yet.
The fourth album, produced by Fredrik Nordström and the first with drummer Roel van Helden — and the band's first German chart entry, at No. 23.
An eighth album that digs into werewolf legend country by country, with Jens Bogren and Joost van den Broek widening the band's sound another step.
A ninth album that gathers new songs and unreleased material as a bridge to the next chapter, with a covers disc by befriended bands on the deluxe editions.
“The wolf of God” — a second album that ties liturgical language to animal folklore head-on, and the home of “Prayer In the Dark.”
The fifth album and Powerwolf's first German No. 1 — the first record for Napalm, and the one that changed the band's standing.
Church organ, an operatic voice and straight-driving riffs: the debut on which Powerwolf's style is already assembled.
The seventh album, produced by Jens Bogren and a German No. 1 — the turning point that produced “Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend.”
