The Moshville Times - Kreator announce new album ‘Krushers of the World’ and massive UK tour

German thrash metal titans Kreator have announced details of their sixteenth studio album, Krushers of the World, set for release on 16th January 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records. This announcement follows the recent release of the band’s documentary film, Hate & Hope, and frontman Mille Petrozza’s autobiography, Your Heaven, My Hell.

To mark the occasion, the band has unleashed a crushing new single titled “Seven Serpents,” accompanied by a cinematic music video. The track is the first taste of what promises to be the next major step in the evolution of a band still at its peak more than forty years into their career. The new album was produced by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, who previously worked with the group on Phantom Antichrist (2012) and Gods Of Violence (2017). The stunning cover artwork was created by the renowned Polish artist Zbigniew Bielak, and the album can be pre-ordered now.

Mille Petrozza commented:

On 20th March, we’re hitting the road to bring you our biggest tour production ever.
