KREATOR release new video for single ‘Loyal To The Grave’

KREATOR RELEASE NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR ‘LOYAL TO THE GRAVE’

NEW ALBUM “KRUSHERS OF THE WORLD” OUT NOW VIA NUCLEAR BLAST

EU TOUR WITH CARCASS, EXODUS AND NAILS WELL UNDERWAY

Following the electrifying kickoff of their extensive European tour and premier UK showing of their documentary “Hate & Hope”, metal legends KREATOR are keeping the momentum alive with the release of a brand-new music video for ‘Loyal To The Grave‘, the powerful closing track of their latest studio album, “Krushers Of The World”.
On the subject of the new video, frontman Mille Petrozza shares:“The video was inspired by the Movie ‘The Crow’ this time. I hope you enjoy our little journey into obscurity as much as we do.”
Showcasing a different side of the band’s signature intensity, ‘Loyal To The Grave‘ stands out as one of the album’s most memorable moments. Driven by a highly melodic approach and elevated by a soaring, anthemic chorus, the track captures both the aggression and emotional depth that have defined KREATOR’s enduring legacy. The accompanying video visually amplifies this spirit, blending striking performance footage with cinematic storytelling that underscores themes of loyalty, unity, and resilience.
Currently tearing through Europe alongside Exodus, Carcass, and Nails, KREATOR have been delivering spectacular shows to fans across the continent. The tour continues through the end of April, cementing the band’s reputation as one of the most formidable live acts in metal.
Looking ahead, KREATOR will take their explosive live show across the Atlantic this May, joining forces with Carcass and Cold Steel for a highly anticipated U.S. tour. With no signs of slowing down, 2026 is shaping up to be another landmark year for the band.

When KREATOR’s earliest incarnation formed under the influence of Kiss and Judas Priest in the early 80’s none of the above was thinkable. For young adults, Essen, back then a 600k plus city in the Ruhr area, was a grim place. Unemployment rates were surging, houses had been blackened by smoke from factories and coal mines, for some alcohol and drug abuse were the only escape route from this dismal, post-industrialised backdrop.
Whereas Birmingham spawned Black Sabbath and undoubtedly became the legitimate birthplace of heavy metal, the bands associated with the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal like Iron Maiden, Venom, Saxon pushed the genre with a street-fighting attitude, US artists such as Metallica, Exodus, Slayer, and Swedes Bathory intensified the style even more, and altogether concocted a dangerous brew KREATOR poured down their throats in gallons. For today’s remaining founding members Mille and drummer Jürgen “Ventor” Reil, music was the way out from these dire surroundings, and provided an outlet for the frustration and contempt boiling in their guts. And KREATOR went all in. Naive, chaotic yet utterly determined.
And they left their own mark on heavy metal history, radicalising thrash and inspiring legions of musicians including Arch Enemy, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth and Ghost, with Papa Emeritus joining a TV performance of ‘Satan Is Real’ in 2017. Their newest studio album, “Krushers Of The World”, shows a band that has lost none of its bite kicking off with the rabid aggression of ‘Seven Serpents’. It also tackles Petrozza’s love for horror flicks by paying tribute to Dario Argento’s Suspiria in ‘Tränenpalast’ with extreme metal vocal coach Britta Görtz (Hiraes) adding her own vicious tone over dark yet catchy melodies. And of course, you shall have hefty doses of pure, thrashing aggression as well! ‘Barbarian’, ‘Deathscream’ or ‘Psychotic Imperator’ deliver your fix of merciless riffs, majestic leads by Sami Yli-Sirniö and some of Ventor’s fastest parts ever. Are you looking for powerful mid-tempo sections allowing bassist Frédéric Leclercq to shine? Then the monumental groove of the title track and stunning chorus of ‘Satanic Anarchy’ will have you covered. Rounded off by a triumphant and – no pun intended – krushing production courtesy of Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, who previously worked with the group on “Phantom Antichrist” (2012) and “Gods Of Violence” (2017), KREATOR return in perfect shape. A novelty to “Krushers Of The World” is immediately obvious when staring at its cover. With Zbigniew Bielak, renowned for his work for Ghost, art and design offer an interesting twist to KREATOR’s history. Transforming classic visual trademarks dedicated fans will recognise from “Coma Of Souls” (1990), “Out of the Dark… into the Light” (1988) and “Pleasure To Kill” (the font!) into a highly detailed tapestry garnered with occult symbolism, Bielak crafted an outstanding piece paying homage to a band he loves since his teenager days yet with a daring and unique flair. The cover of “Krushers Of The World” rewards everyone willing to analyse the grandiose sleeve design. In essence, “Krushers Of The World” is of course not a throwback to KREATOR’s past, it is furious, massive sounding and creative in its own right, gifted with a songwriting quality honed over years. It displays a band which earned its spot among the giants of the genre, and developed its youthful anger further into a professional, internationally successful, nonetheless intimidating creature. “Krushers Of The World” underlines the fact that fuelled by the reflective look at their own legacy sparked by 2025’s “Hate & Hope” movie, KREATOR nowadays appear more mindful of their early days while simultaneously progressing uncompromisingly, unstoppable in their search for new realms to conquer and new worlds to krush.

KREATOR‘s line-up is:
Miland “Mille” Petrozza – vocals, guitarsJürgen “Ventor” Reil – drumsSami Yli-Sirniö – guitarsFrédéric Leclercq – bass
