The tour manager of German/Finnish thrash metal veterans KREATOR has released the following statement:
“Unfortunately, due to Greek customs officers, we were not able to leave Greece on time to make it to Istanbul. We would like to mention that the promoters, Mood Productions, did everything to help save the show. Please check their website (Mood-Pro.com) to see information on ticket refunds. Announcement will be made soon.”
Added KREATOR frontman Mille Petrozza: “We tried all efforts to make it happen. However, in the end this was not possible. We are working to reschedule a date for the summertime. Thanks for your support.”
KREATOR has unveiled a “huge 3D show” during its current European headlining tour with MORBID ANGEL, NILE and FUELED BY FIRE, which kicked off on November 1 in Antwerp, Belgium.
KREATOR‘s new album, “Phantom Antichrist”, which sold 3,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at No. 1 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
Released on June 1 in Europe and June 5 in North America via Nuclear Blast Records, “Phantom Antichrist” was recorded at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden with renowned producer Jens Bogren (OPETH, KATATONIA, SOILWORK, DEVIN TOWNSEND, AMON AMARTH).
KREATOR recently completed the “North American Teutonic Terror Attack” tour with ACCEPT.
Power went out for 30 minutes during KREATOR‘s headlining performance this past Sunday night (November 11) at Salamandra in Barcelona, Spain as part of the band’s European tour with MORBID ANGEL, NILE and FUELED BY FIRE. After power was restored and the musicians returned to the stage, a visibly angry KREATOR frontman Mille Petrozza addressed the crowd, saying, “Fuck the promoter. Fuck those people. Those people rip you off and they rip us off. We don’t wanna play this place ever again. I hope you destroy this fucker.” The band then launched into the appropriately titled “Extreme Aggression”.
Fan-filmed video footage of the power outage as well as Petrozza‘s subsequent comments can be seen below.

In another news:
KREATOR, just announced to release another 7“ single off the most recent, chart-breaking album, „Phantom Antichrist“.
„Civilization Collapse“ will be released on 7“ vinyl (retail version: black – cover1 // Nuclear Blast Mailorder only: red, yellow, white – cover2) and as digital download on November 9, 2012 and will contain the super rare non-album track, „Wolfchild“, which was released earlier this year on the JOHN SINCLAIR tribute sampler, „Dark Symphonies“.
The band also made a video clip for „Civilization Collapse“ which is mainly about the riots that took place in Greece most recently.
While researching about said riots the KREATOR art direction team became aware of Marios Lolos, president of the Greek union of journalistic photographers. In the past Greek photographers have become victims to police brutality quite often, and Marios himself barely got out alive out of one these extreme and undemocratical attacks. When KREATOR showed Marios both song and lyrics, he immediately agreed participate by offering parts of his huge photographic archives.
