Thrash metal veterans Kreator have shared the official music video for the LP’s second single, “Tränenpalast”. In addition, the music video created by acclaimed masters of the macabre Grupa 13 features Kreator performing in the film’s haunted ballet school setting, complemented by disturbing images of said witches in various stages of transformation. You can watch the video below … if you dare!
Released just in time for Halloween, “Tränenpalast” is a comprehensive homage to horror maestro Dario Argento‘s 1977 cult film “Suspiria”, which is hailed by fans as one of the most defining genre entries of its era. While the lead melody references the film’s original score by Italian prog band Goblin, lending it a melodic death metal touch, the lyrics mention “the three mothers,” an ancient witch coven from the “Suspiria” universe.
“Tränenpalast” features vocal coach Britta Görtz of extreme metal band Hiraes on guest vocals.
Kreator guitarist/vocalist Mille Petrozza commented: “‘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 the greats! Hail to the Hordes!”
Kreator recorded Krushers Of The World at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden, with producer Jens Bogren. Bogren previously helmed Kreator‘s Phantom Antichrist (2012) and Gods Of Violence (2017) LPs. The Krushers Of The World cover artwork was created by Polish genius Zbigniew Bielak.
Following the recent releases of the Kreator documentary film “Hate & Hope” as well as “Your Heaven, My Hell”, Petrozza‘s autobiography, Krushers Of The World will be the next step in the evolution of Kreator — a band that is still at its peak more than forty years into its career.
Krushers Of The World is not a shy title — it is a statement, an expression of pride and self-awareness, knowing how long and hard the band’s path has been and knowing what they still have to say and share with their ever-growing following. After the buzz around the movie and book, it is time for Kreator to let the riffs, the roaring vocals, and thunderous drums do the talking.
