Kreator hard at work on new material
The official web site of the German thrash veterans Kreator has been updated with the following message: "For some reason, we are still getting a lot of emails, comments, messages, etc. about Kreator and the cancelled King Diamond tour. King Diamond had to cancel the whole tour because of health issues. Regardless of what any club website may say, Kreator are not doing any shows in the USA as of right now! No off-dates, no one-off shows, no tours.... nothing. Instead, they are concentrating on writing the new album and will only be making a few festival appearances in Europe at the moment. Once they are done with the new album, then they will make their way back to the USA. Until that time, all of us here in the USA will just have to be patient. I hope this makes everything absolutely, positively clear because I would hate for a fan (or more) to show up at a club expecting Kreator to play and then get really disappointed. And you can be assured that the guys are working very hard on the new album and make your wait worth while!"
Kreator guitarist/vocalist Mille Petrozza recently stated about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the group's new album, "We have a five-track demo and two more songs writen. The writing [is going] really smooth, the new songs are made for a live situation and they all kill! No compromise but sheer thrash metal brutality! So be prepared, January 2009 will see the release of the next album, followed by an extensive world tour!"
Kreator's new DVD, "At The Pulse Of Kapitulation - Live in East Berlin 1990", is in stores now via SPV.
Available for the first time on DVD and upgraded to a 5.1 mix via producer Andy Sneap, this release is loaded with bonus footage (including the director's cut of the band's cult horror film "Hallucinative Comas"), and is truly a dream come true for Kreator fans.
