“If you’re a metal fan and don’t adore Kreator, there’s something fucking wrong with you.” — Decibel
“Masterfully composed and arranged… a band at the height of their creative powers.” — Metal Hammer Germany
“Every one of these 10 anthems hits the bullseye with maximum force and impact.” — Blabbermouth
“No other thrash band of their era has achieved this level of quality.” — Metal Hammer Spain
“If someone wants to debate the Big Four again — just say: ‘Yes! Mille, Ventor, Sami and Frédéric.’” — Visions Magazine
The wait is finally over.
Today, German thrash metal legends KREATOR have released their highly anticipated 16th studio album, Krushers Of The World. Alongside the album’s arrival, the band have unveiled the official music video for the title track, delivering a grim, dystopian vision that matches the record’s ferocity.
Featuring 10 hard-hitting anthems, Krushers Of The World builds on KREATOR’s unmistakable classic thrash sound while boldly embracing modern elements. The album is wrapped in a massive, uncompromising production by acclaimed producer Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios), marking his third collaboration with the band following Phantom Antichrist (2012) and Gods Of Violence (2017).
From blistering speed to crushing mid-tempo grooves, Krushers Of The World showcases KREATOR operating at the peak of their creative powers — furious, precise, and more relevant than ever. The album bridges decades of thrash metal legacy with a contemporary edge that pushes the genre forward.
The newly released video for “Krushers Of The World” is set in a post-apocalyptic Berlin, painting a stark picture of a world on the brink. Its imagery underscores themes of collapse, resistance, and survival — topics that feel more urgent and timely than ever.
Frontman Mille Petrozza shares:
“Hordes! Krushers Of The World is yours now! We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. See you on tour!”
