One thing‘s for sure: There aren‘t many bands with a history as long and eventful as KREATOR‘s, who fascinatingly succeed in exploring new horizons while challenging and reinventing themselves time and again, resulting in high impact results - as is perfectly illustrated by their new record Gods Of Violence (out on January 27, 2017). With this 14th studio album of their impressive career, the thrashers from Essen, Germany have crafted a work of art of utmost vigor, drawing its unfailing power from the pounding heart of one of the greatest, most versatile metal bands of all time. Gods Of Violence lives and breathes! As is often the case, it all started with a good idea. KREATOR mastermind Mille Petrozza had followed the latest news with growing concern. Especially the November 2015 Paris attacks made him realize that there had to be a continuum of human malevolence, running like a thread through the ages, from ancient times up to the present day. These thoughts led Petrozza to interlocking current events with tales from Greek mythology, eventuating in the song Gods Of Violence that was consequently chosen as the album‘s name giver. “Currently, religion has regained a level of importance that I would have never considered possible 20 years ago,” Mille states. “An extremely dangerous polarization is taking place, giving rise to growing hate among us all. That‘s what I wanted to write about.” Like this, a key note of the album was found that is also reflected in the sheer brutality of “World War Now”, among others. The song‘s deriving from the observation that we‘re in the middle of a World War III of sorts, but not in the way we‘ve always feared: A-bomb dropped, humanity wiped out. “These days, our weapons of mass destruction are called hatred and religious delusion,” says Petrozza. It‘s a vertical war, being fought by the media as well as by fanatics of all shades.

Bloodbath waren ganz gut, Hatebreed waren Hammergeil. Dann kamen Dimmu Borgir, die Freude groß... und enttäuschen auf ganzer Linie. Der Sound war absolut schlecht und ohne Druck! Zuletzt dann Kreator, die mal wieder gezeigt haben, wie Thrash-Metal klingen muss! Super geiler Sound mit viel Druck und eine Band, die vor Spielfreude nur so strotzt!
Sporthalle Hamburg Hamburg, GermanyIt was bad ass , Possessed are old school thrashers. Kreator came out and fucking tore it up , played some killer songs and sounded great , FUCKING TESTAMENT, What can u say gods of thrash , still heavy and tight and bad ass show , I would def go again .
The Factory In Deep Ellum Dallas, TXI had been waiting many years to see Kreator & wow were we blown away! In my opinion the best metal performance I've ever seen in my life, hail Kreator! My son was also amazed. He is 12 & I am raising him proper by blessing him with Metal lol!
Aztec Theatre San Antonio, TXEverything and more I expected from an awesome band. Fantastic show, great energy. Incredible how the singer sounds the same as 30 years ago, such a powerful voice, killer guitar riffs, so tight. Typical Germans lol. They blew Testament away. Kreator should head line the show.
Hard Rock Live Orlando Orlando, FLKreator waren der würdige Abschluss eines denkwürdigen Konzertabends. Nachdem Testament und Anthrax schon ordentlich vorgelegt hatten, haben Kreator buchstäblich den Elfmeter verwandelt. Geile Stimmung, gute Songauswahl und technisch sehr gut gespielt. Ein rundum gelungener Abend mit drei gleichwertigen Bands, die immer noch zeigen, wo der Hammer hängt!
