Don’t Expect A New KREATOR Record Anytime Soon

Kreator is plotting the follow-up to their 2022 record Hate Über Alles, but don’t expect to hear it anytime soon. According to Kreator mastermind Mille Petrozza in an interview with Metal Global, he’s always working on new material but wants to make sure that the new record is a worth successor to Hate Über Alles.

“I’m starting [to put ideas together],” said Petrozza. “I have some demos. I have some songs. We’re looking at [releasing] a new album in the beginning of ’26. I have some stuff.”

“I do want this next record to really crush, so I need to take my time. But on the other hand, I was thinking about it and I was talking about it with the band at an earlier stage, when we were on tour, and I remember we were saying all these songs from Hate Über Alles have been lying around for so long because of the pandemic. We could have released Hate Über Alles a year early. So we had some off time.

“And I constantly write stuff, so from that time, I have a lot of riffs. And so I have a lot of material that we can work on. And I collected some themes and I have kind of like a lyrical direction that I wanna follow, but it’s not quite there yet. So ’26 is a definitely a very realistic time. Maybe we [will] release a single in ’25 or something and then lead it to the album.”

Kreator will be out on the road with Testament and Possessed this September and October. Tickets are available here.
