After the single's release the band stated that:[2][5]
"Army of the night" is one of the many songs of "Blessed & Possessed" we can't wait to perform live. Already the very first time we played that song during the songwriting, the energy and dynamics literally blew us away and we felt like this is going to be a must-play. While many of the songs on "Blessed & Possessed" are very detailed and elaborated, this one is probably one of straightest and most compact POWERWOLF songs to date.
The music video was released on YouTube on 25 June 2015.[5][6][7] It was recorded in St. Joseph Church in Prudnik, Poland.
In 2018 the song got covered by Swedish band Amaranthe.[8][9][10] It was available on the Deluxe Edition of Powerwolf's album The Sacrament of Sin.[11][12]
