"We are beyond excited to kick off the new year with the release of our brand-new album," says frontman Mille Petrozza. "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!"
