For Immediate Release:
German Thrash Metal Pioneers KREATOR Release First-Ever Live Album & DVD
'Live Kreation' & 'Live Kreation - Revisioned Glory' Due on July 22nd
Through SPV
After nearly 20 years and over 1000 concert performances, German
thrash metal pioneers KREATOR are prepared to unleash their first
ever live album and accompanying DVD to the masses via SPV Records on
July 22nd! The band experienced a vast resurgence in North American
interest last year on their highly successful 'Violent Revolution'
tour, and these upcoming collections are the band's way of giving
something back to the fans for their diehard commitment to the
Teutonic Thrash legacy.
The CD, 'Live Kreation', collects 24 tracks of KREATOR's inimitable,
blue-collared 'extreme aggression', recorded around the world and
produced by renowned knob-smith Andy Sneap (Machine Head, Arch Enemy,
Fozzy, Skinlab, etc.). Says KREATOR founder, vocalist/guitarist Mille
Petrozza on the milestone, "Over the years, a lot of our fans kept
asking us for a live record. We loved the idea and started working on
it in the beginning of our 'World Revolution' tour. Modern technology
allowed us to record 22 shows in total, so at the end of the day, we
had tons of stuff to choose from. Capturing good performances from
shows in Brazil, Korea, France, Germany and Greece, we've spent a long
time picking the right atmosphere of each individual track, kept them
all raw and direct, to make this first live album in the history of
Kreator a special experience for us and our fans. Andy Sneap did a
killer job mixing this 24-track monster, including songs from every
album we've recorded."
The historic 2-CD, 100+ minute full-contact extravaganza includes the
following tracks:
Disc 1 Disc 2
The Patriarch Lost
Violent Revolution Coma Of Souls
Reconquering The Throne Second Awakening
Extreme Aggression Terrorzone
People Of The Lie Betrayer
All Of The Same Blood Leave This World Behind
Phobia Under The Guillotine
Pleasure To Kill Awakening The Gods
Renewal Golden Age
Servant In Heaven - King In Hell Flag Of Hate
Black Sunrise Tormentor
Terrible Certainty
Riot Of Violence
The DVD companion, 'Live Kreation - Revisioned Glory', not only
includes 17 of the aforementioned 24 tracks mixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital
Surround Sound, but also contains a complete 55-minute year-by-year
video history of Kreator, including all of the band's video clips &
new documentary-style interviews with Mille, additional live footage,
behind-the-scenes footage and many other bonus features. Mille
comments on this colossal endeavor, "Putting together the material for
the DVD was hard work, a little tricky, but in the end a lot of fun!
One thing was clear to me from the beginning: no compromise on
ANYTHING to make this output the ultimate in quality!! I did not know
many music DVDs before I started working on ours, so I checked other
bands' releases. I was very disappointed by the fact that some
artists just put out shitty hand-camera footage and sell it to their
audiences as live videos. Luckily, our record company was aware of
that problem, and so we hired two professional camera teams to film
our shows in Korea and Brazil. Other than that, I personally started
shooting all kinds of behind-the-scenes material on tour. To make it
all complete, we put together a history documentary, going way back in
time, including all official Kreator video clips shot so far, plus
previously unreleased interview footage, TV appearances and other rare
stuff. So now, after almost half a year in several cutting rooms,
mixing studios, in my living room looking through old video tapes, I
can promise you, you will definitely enjoy this f**ker!"
