September 27, 2025 James Weaver

KREATOR have announced a brand new album!

Titled Krushers Of The World, the sixteenth studio album (the follow-up to 2022’s Hate Über Alles) from the German thrash metal titans is scheduled to be released in January next year via Nuclear Blast Records. Following the recent release of their documentary Hate & Hope and frontman Mille Petrozza’s autobiography Your Heaven, My Hell, this record marks the next chapter in the band’s four-decade legacy.

The upcoming album was produced by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios – who previously worked with the band on Phantom Antichrist (2012) and Gods Of Violence (2017) – and features cover art by Zbigniew Bielak (GHOST).

Speaking about the new era, Mille Petrozza says, “we are beyond excited to kick off the new year with the release of our brand-new album Krushers Of The World, dropping 16th January 2026!”

Alongside the album announcement, the band have released a crushing new single, Seven Serpents, accompanied by a cinematic music video.

This will be a night of unrelenting metal mayhem, featuring our brothers-in-arms CARCASS, EXODUS, and the mighty NAILS.
