“We are beyond excited to kick off the new year with the release of our brand-new album KRUSHERS OF THE WORLD, dropping January 16. But that’s not all! On March 20, we’re hitting the road to bring you our biggest tour production ever. This will be a night of unrelenting metal mayhem, featuring our brothers-in-arms Carcass, Exodus, and the mighty Nails. This marks an exciting new chapter for the band, and we can’t wait for you to experience the new music live, plus a selection of classic Kreator, old and new. Hail to the hordes! \m/.”
