What an impressive accomplishment it is to be the headliner of an enormous festival like Wacken Open Air. And Chaoszine had the luck of catching Ted, bass player for Amon Amarth, a few hours before their spectacular performance on the Holy Ground. We talked about music, future projects and Marvel too. If you’re curious about the band and want to know more about them, check out what we talked about!

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.
