Mille Petrozza says :

"Dear friends. Just came back from Romania, very cool show, fantastic audience! This was definitely the last show of the Violent Revolution tour and I want to thank all of you for making 2003 another great year in the history of the band!

"In January we will start the rehearsals for the new record. [Producer] Andy Sneap and his studio in Nottingham/UK is booked for May.

"The new stuff sounds like a mix between 'Violent Revolution' and 'Pleasure to Kill'! Up to now, I have written 9 songs, some are already arranged and ready to go, others are still fragments. There'll be a couple of tunes that are longer than 7 minutes and have wicked parts an tempo changes, next to 4-minute songs full of hate and brutality!

"I am very excited about the new shit and can not wait to record it! After all the touring we've done for the last album, the band has grown to a strong unit, where each individual member is ready to give 200% to bring you, what you deserve: the best and most violent KREATOR record of all time!

"A European tour through selected venues is scheduled for the end of 2004, also a return to the U.S. is in the making. We're working on a huge production for this, with tons of lights and sound and a setlist that will kill!!!

"Have a nice New Years Eve party and do not let the industry drag you into their commercial Christmas terror!"

hmmmm... this sounds like it could be good news, I hope it is closer to Pleasure to Kill!!

well you know ... these updates from bands starting a new record are always the same... "we are very excited with the new material" "this will be our best record to date" and they always refer to their classic albums as a comparison...
I posted these news just for the sake of posting info on the forum... but I must admit it is not always as informative as it should be...
then let's wait and see !

Don't forget the classic one: "We have gone back to our basics". Funniest example of this (utter lie) must be the new Metallica album.
A friend also said this about Immortal - Sons of northern darkness. I listened to it once and concluded that they had gone back to the exact same sound as the album right before it. What a huge step.

yes, this is a basic marketing trick for the metal music business... not very clever if you ask me, but as we know, most metal fans are stupid then they go and buy
but then thanks to the mp3 messiah, you can listen before buying ...

Coma of Souls its for me the best work of Kreator ! Great

Judging by the quality of that two albums mentioned, the next album must be great, let´s wait and hear...

for me, Extreme Agression is my favorite Kreator album. That would be nice if they came close to this one again with a new album.

"Violent revolution" is great I think. Not fantastic as their older stuffs but great.
About the comment on the new album, well ...
Always the same marketing explications to sell more album.
It's like when you want to buy a TV and the vendor tell you "it is a great one I have the same at home !! "

The only way to know what it sounds like it's always to listen to it not to try judge on what others said.

Well... That pretty much comes without saying, don't you think?

Yes , sometimes I post really useless things.

"The songwriting process of the new KREATOR album is slowly but surely taking form! Those who've already heard some material describe it as complex, intense, fast, violent and melodic."

Commented KREATOR guitarist/vocalist Mille Petrozza: "Dear friends. Writing and arranging a new record is always exciting, interesting, painful and sometimes frustrating. Right now, we are producing demos, collecting ideas, arranging and rearranging stuff, listening to riffs, getting excited about stuff and throwing shit away. It's like doing a puzzle! We've got the rough versions of seven songs so far and the shit sounds fuckin' brutal! Be patient, as soon as there's more details, you'll read 'em here first!"

"If things work out, the cover artwork of the new record will be the realization of a long-planned project finally coming true!" continues the post on the band's web site.

"KREATOR's agents are currently booking selected venues around the globe, where the band will present their newly designed light and stage set in the end of the year. Details soon..."

...

I really didn't like violent restitution, too slow, too "heavy".....i've seen them on stage on 2002 it was quite good, half of the set list was from their best releases, but when i saw them again in 2003 in wacken it was horrible, i couldn't stand until the end.....(too much songs after Coma of souls)
Kreator defenetly lost their "thrash" feelings !

"The new stuff sounds like a mix between 'Violent Revolution' and 'Pleasure to Kill'!

Probably 99% Violent revolution, 1% PLEASURE TO KILL !!!!
I think it's time to lower the flag of hate ! hehe...

PLEASURE TO KILL is their fuckin' best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they'll never be able to recapture what they had on Pleasure to Kill or Endless Pain but even if they come close, that could make for a good album. Coma of Souls was the last album from them I could get into but if I hear some samples after the new one is released, maybe I'll give this one a shot...

Best Kreator song of all time IMO??
Awakening of the Gods!! -- That song fucking kills to this day... :iark:

'Violent *Restitution*'? If only Kreator were half as good as that album.

Only thing I care for about 'St. Inker' is that dustbin drum sound. Perhaps Lars & Hellhammer should swap kits.

I don't see the relation between Razor and Kreator... I like both (take this torch is a killing track for example) but seriously, ok it is thrash metal but that's all. German thrash vs Us (canadian) one hehe.

I really liked most of the tracks on violent revolution, it is no more false goth/rock or even bad indus/thrash, it is modern Kreator (the good way).

Asath called the Kreator Album "violent restitution", by joke or by mistake, and it is the name of a Razor stuff...

Yep I know, but I misreaded his sentence. Anyway it's not that important.
