Comments Kreator mastermind M
“‘Gods Of Violence’ was the very first song that I wrote for this album, and it stuck out to me as the title track. It contains everything that Kreator is known for and it will blow your minds. The cover artwork is a perfect reflection of my lyrical vision. I personally think this is Jan Meininghaus’ best work so far.”
The new album will contain 11 tracks with the names of them listed below:
- Apocalypticon
- World War Now
- Satan Is Real
- Totalitarian Terror
- Gods Of Violence
- Army Of Storms
- Hail To The Hordes
- Lion With Eagle Wings
- Fallen Brother
- Side By Side
- Death Becomes My Light
Gods Of Violence was recorded under the watchful eyes of producer Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth, Katatonia) who also mixed the record at renowned Fascination Street Studios. Mastering was done by Tony Lindgren, also at Fascination Street Studios.
As well as the new album, Kreator are hitting the road early next year alongside label mates, Sepultura and Soilwork. You can view the dates here.
