Krushers Of The World - 2025 European Nuclear Blast label 23-track 2CD

The next monumental chapter for German thrash metal icons Kreator: "Krushers of the World" marks their sixteenth full-length album.

Forged at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden, with long-time collaborator Jens Bogren (who previously produced "Phantom Antichrist" and "Gods of Violence"), this is an album that is steeped in experience, yet still bursting with fresh ferocity.

The title itself, "Krushers of the World," is more than just bravado. It's a testament to a band that has stood the test of time and still has vast territories to conquer. Over ten tracks, KREATOR explore new tonal terrain without abandoning their raw roots. On some songs, the guitars are tuned down to baritone registers all the way down to A, not as a gimmick, but when the song calls for a darker heaviness.

Polish artist Zbigniew Bielak (known for his work with GHOST) has created the cover, which is steeped in occult symbolism. He reinterprets familiar motifs from KREATOR's past – from "Coma of Souls" to "Pleasure to Kill" – and weaves them into a dense, tapestry-like work that rewards the attentive observer.
