Kreator release video for new single ‘Seven Serpents’

Metal Titans Kreator have announced that their sixteenth studio album, “Krushers Of The World,” will be released on January 16th, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records. Following the recent releases of the Kreator documentary film “Hate & Hope” as well as “Your Heaven, My Hell”, the autobiography of front man Mille Petrozza, “Krushers Of The World” will be the next step in the evolution of Kreator – a band that is still at its peak more than forty years into their career.

“Krushers Of The World” is not a shy title, it is a statement, an expression of pride and self-awareness knowing how long and hard the band’s path has been and knowing what they still have to say and share with their ever growing following. After the buzz around the movie and book, it is time for Kreator to let the riffs, the roaring vocals, and thunderous drums do the talking.

Rounded off by a triumphant production courtesy of Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, who previously worked with the group on “Phantom Antichrist” (2012) and “Gods Of Violence” (2017), Kreator return in perfect shape. The stunning cover artwork was created by none other than Polish genius Zbigniew Bielak (Ghost).

Furthermore, Kreator have announced a massive EU & UK Headline tour with Carcass, Exodus and Nails for March and April 2026. Tickets are on sale NOW! You can find all confirmed dates at the bottom. Please be aware that strictly limited ticket + album bundles for the German live dates are exclusively available via the Nuclear Blast online store:

Mille Petrozza commented:

We are beyond excited to kick off the new year with the release of our brand-new album KRUSHERS OF THE WORLD, dropping January 16, 2026!

But that’s not all! On March 20th, we’re hitting the road to bring you our biggest tour production ever. This will be a night of unrelenting metal mayhem, featuring our brothers-in-arms Carcass, Exodus, and the mighty Nails.

This marks an exciting new chapter for the band, and we can’t wait for you to experience the new music live plus a selection of classic Kreator, old and new.

Hail to the hordes! \m/”
