In a new interview with Metal Covenant, KREATOR frontman Mille Petrozza spoke about the lyrical inspiration behind their latest album, Krushers Of The World.

Released on January 16 via Nuclear Blast Records, Petrozza described each song as an empowerment that is meant to give people strength.

He emphasized the importance of music in providing a positive outlet for frustration and despair, saying "music, celebrating life" is what's necessary in this day and age."

Krushers Of The World was recorded at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden with producer Jens Bogren, who has worked on several KREATOR albums.

The album artwork features a stunning cover created by Polish artist Zbigniew Bielak, renowned for his work with GHOST.

The band will support Krushers Of The World with a massive European tour across 20 countries alongside CARCASS, EXODUS, and NAILS.

The trek kicks off on March 20, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal at MEO Arena and concludes on April 25, 2026 in Copenhagen, Denmark at Poolen.
