Even the most die-hard fans probably won’t expect this! German metal legends in KREATOR surprise fans and the whole heavy metal world alike with unveiling a brand new song including music video without any prior notice.
‘666 – World Divided’ is now available on all digital platforms and will be released physically on April 10th, 2020 as strictly limited Split-7” vinyl together with LAMB OF GOD – their side features the already released song ‘Checkmate’ from the upcoming “Lamb Of God” studio album. Vinyl will be available via the KREATOR online shop and Nuclear Blast mailorder.
The tour of both bands has recently been postponed to autumn.
‘666 – World Divided’ is by no means a leftover demo. This song marks the first new piece of music by mighty KREATOR since the release of their last studio album “Gods Of Violence“ back in January 2017 as well as the first joint recording with their new bass player Frédéric Leclercq.
Co-produced by Andy Sneap and Markus Ganter and recorded in the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin, ‘666 – World Divided’ combines all trademarks that gave this band from the German Ruhr area a worldwide reputation. Thrash metal in a complex and extremely melodic way that will last for generations.
„After more than three long years we are more than happy to present you our brand new single ‘666 – World Divided'”, said bandleader, singer, songwriter and guitarist Mille Petrozza. “The message of this song is more important than ever: we have to stick together in this more and more divided world. Take care and most importantly: stay metal! We can do it all together. We are one!”
The music video for ‘666 – World Divided’ was created under the direction of Jörn Heitmann, who was responsible for the music videos for ‘Radio’ and ‘Ausländer‘ by RAMMSTEIN.
KREATOR are one of the most influential and successful heavy metal bands in Germany. Already in the early 1980s, Mille Petrozza and his band established and shaped the heavy metal subgenre Thrash Metal alongside METALLICA, SLAYER and MEGADETH. Since then KREATOR have been a significant influence on numerous heavy metal bands that follow them worldwide. With their 14th studio album ‘Gods Of Violence’ the band from Essen, Germany made it to number 1 on the German album charts for the first time in 2017.
LAMB OF GOD and KREATOR team up this Spring to launch for a tour across Europe that also features Dallas thrashers POWER TRIP. In celebration of the tour, the bands will be releasing a series of trailers featuring BBC Radio 1 Rock Show host Daniel P Carter chatting to Mark Morton and Mille Petrozza about their careers, the Metal scene, touring and much more. In the first instalment, released today, the guys talk about how the bands on the bill are unified through thrash. Watch here:
The ‘State Of Unrest’tour is set to kick off on March 27th in Stockholm, Sweden at the Fryshuset Arenan and will run until April 25th where it will wrap up in London at the O2 Academy Brixton.
LAMB OF GODfrontmanRandy Blythehad this to say,“It’s always a blast when you tour with someone for the first time, so we’re looking forward to hitting the road with KREATOR, as well as getting some more hang time with our maniac pals in POWER TRIP. See ya in March and April!”
KREATOR’s Mille Petrozzaadded,“Hordes of Europe! It is my pleasure to introduce the State Of Unrest tour; for too long European and American metal has been divided and now it is time for unity! We are excited to be playing our only European shows of 2020 with the mighty LAMB OF GOD and support from one of my favorite new thrash bands, POWER TRIP. It’s going to be a wild night of metal celebration – DO NOT MISS OUT!”

If the Vikings had had electric guitars, this form of metal would have probably evolved much earlier: With passionate metal guitars and skillful, progressive drums, the quick-change artists from CORVUS CORAX shape their well-known playing styles into a successful symbiosis of traditional instruments and heavy metal. A unique connection between the traditional and the dazzlingly modern was created.
With their new project “ERA METALLUM” they bring the epic of Corvus Corax together with the force of metal and thus create a new, unique music experience.
We can get a first glimpse of it with the release of “Ragnarök”, watch below.
Already on the cover we are greeted by Jörmungandr, the global snake, in a modern, powerful and harsh-looking sight, who promises epic and unprecedented things.
With the distinctive guitars by Sami Yli-Sirniö (Kreator) and the progressive metal drums recorded by Norbert Norri Drescher (Corvus Corax, former drummer with the Prog-Trash metal band Depressive Age) get the imposing bagpipes and the martial chants of Castus Karsten Liehm an uncompromising space for development. Mysticism, power and myths in a symphonic and rock hard harmony. The end of the world has never been more impressive than in the era of metal of Corvus Corax. Convince yourself!
The single Ragnarök is the powerful harbinger of the album ERA METALLUM, which will be released on September 04, 2020.
