It's phenomenal how their highly revered classic album Pleasure to Kill from March 1986 not only sounds great today historically set the groundwork for early songwriting by death thrash metal bands early material. For instance, Sepultura. As an influence for Max and Igorr Cavalera brothers' killer riffs and songs on their first recording Morbid Visions released towards the end of the same year in November 1986. Kreator's follow up record Terrible Certainty is also one of the greatest thrash metal albums of all time. Kreator and Sepultura are on the road with Death Angel and Spiritworld as support. Kreator and Sepultura will rotate closing out each show, denoted on the tour dates below with asterisks. “I'm really happy to be back in the US this May with the mightiest of all… Sepultura,“ said Kreator's Mille Petrozza. “A new 'Klash Of The Titans' partnership and an absolutely stacked bill from start to finish.

Sold Out The legendary Kreator is a German thrash metal band from Essen, formed in 1982. Their current lineup consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Miland “Mille“ Petrozza, drummer Jürgen “Ventor“ Reil, lead guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö, and bassist Frédéric Leclercq. The band's lineup has changed multiple times over its 41-year career, most noticeably with their bassists and lead guitarists. Petrozza and Reil are the only two original members left in Kreator, although the latter took a break from the band from 1994 to 1996. Yli-Sirniö has been the lead guitarist of Kreator since 2001, while Leclercq joined in 2019 as the replacement of Christian Giesler, who had been a member of the band since 1994. To date, Kreator has released 15 studio albums, two EPs, 2 live albums and 3 compilations. They gained a large underground fanbase in the international thrash metal community, with their second studio album Pleasure to Kill (1986) regarded as an influential album of the genre. Many of their subsequent albums – including Terrible Certainty (1987), Extreme Aggression (1989) and Coma of Souls (1990) – were also highly acclaimed. Despite being an influential band, as well as one of the first European thrash metal acts to sign to a major label (signing to Epic Records in 1988), Kreator would not achieve mainstream popularity until later albums, including their thirteenth studio album Phantom Antichrist (2012) and its follow-up Gods of Violence (2017), both of which charted highly in many countries, with the latter reaching number one on the German charts. The band has achieved worldwide sales of over two million units for combined sales of all their albums, making them one of the best-selling German thrash metal bands of all time. Along with Destruction, Sodom and Tankard, Kreator is credited as one of the “big four“ of Teutonic thrash metal, responsible for popularizing the German thrash metal scene as well as pioneering the then-burgeoning death metal and black metal genres during the mid-1980s.
