KREATOR Frontman Interviewed In Zagreb; Video Available
February 16, 2009Guitarist/vocalist Mille Petrozza of German thrash metal veterans KREATOR was interviewed by the "Metal Eye" show on Z1 TV when the band performed in Zagreb, Croatia on February 11, 2009. Watch the seven-minute chat below.
"Hordes Of Chaos", the new video from KREATOR, can be viewed below (Note: Video stream may not be available to some non-U.S. residents.) The clip was shot on November 2 in Berlin, Germany with director Jörn Heitmann (RAMMSTEIN),who has also worked on the band's video for the song "Enemy Of God".
KREATOR guitarist/vocalist Mille Petrozza told HeadbangersBlog.com about the clip: "It's a little cliché, of course. It's a sword-and-sorcery, 'Conan the Barbarian 300' kind of thing, but it's pretty brutal and I think it's fun. I really like the director and I think he did a good job. It was hard for him, but for us it was easy, because our part took only two ours. But we had to wait a lot because they had to shoot these fighting scenes the whole day. So, we worked for two hours and waited for eight.
"In the video there's a pile of dead people on the ground and we're in the middle of them. Of course, they weren't really dead, but it still felt kind of strange to be between all these people lying on the ground on this hill and it was kind of funny, too because they were there pretending to be dead and we had to perform above them while they just lay there. But they did a great job and I'm really happy."
Due to "technological chaos," the two live clips that were planned for inclusion on the bonus DVD of KREATOR's new album, "Hordes Of Chaos" (which were supposed to be found in the limited-edition digipack/European version) are now available for free download at this location. The clips for "Awakening Of The Gods" and "Coma Of Souls" were both filmed live at the Summer Breeze festival in Germany in 2006.
"Hordes Of Chaos" registered the following first-week European chart positions:
Germany: #16
Austria: #33
Holland: #66
Norway: #73
Sweden: #47
