Well in the fourth decade of dominant tenture, metal pillars Kreator have announced their landmark sixteenth full length studio album, Krushers of the World. The album follows the band's recent releases of the documentary film Hate & Hope as well as Your Heaven, My Hell, the autobiography of front man Mille Petrozza.
teaming with producer and collaborator Jens Bogren, the album taps into the creative synergy the pairing achieved with Phantom Antichrist (2012) and Gods Of Violence (2017). Completing the presentation of the milestone release, Kreator enlisted Polish artist Zbigniew Bielak to craft the album's stunning artwork.
Along with the news of the band's new album, Kreator have introduced their current era with the epic lead single, "Seven Serpents.". The track asserts the band's unmatched prowess and continued evolution as heavy icons with commanding performances, mammoth instrumentation and a visual helmed by Jörn Heitmann that is as colossal as the track.
Kreator architect Millie Petrozza spoke of the announcement, "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, 2026!
But that’s not all! On March 20th, 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/"
