KREATOR have released a brand new single!
The German thrash metal titans have unveiled Tränenpalast, taken from their highly anticipated sixteenth studio album Krushers Of The World, which is scheduled to be released on January 16th, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Just in time for Halloween, the track serves as a comprehensive homage to horror maestro Dario Argento’s 1977 cult classic Suspiria. The lead melody references the film’s original score by Italian prog legends GOBLIN, lending the song a melodic death metal twist, while the lyrics nod to ‘the three mothers’, an ancient witch coven from the Suspiria universe. The accompanying music video, created by acclaimed visual team Grupa 13, features KREATOR performing inside the film’s haunted ballet school setting, interspersed with disturbing imagery of witches in various stages of transformation.
The single also features guest vocals from Britta Görtz of extreme metal band HIRAES. Speaking about the track, frontman Mille Petrozza says, “Tränenpalast is our tribute to the great tradition of Italian cinema. We drew inspiration from Dario Argento’s classic Suspiria and Luca Guadagnino’s epic masterpiece remake. Musically, we bow to the great Goblin, in direct conversation with maestro Claudio Simonetti. We hope you enjoy the song as much as we do. Only love to the greats! Hail to the Hordes!”
