Lamb Of God have shared they are postponing their State Of Unrest UK & European run, which was set to take place in November & December 2022. The sold out UK headline leg was scheduled for December with thrash legends Kreator as special guests, and Thy Art Is Murder and Gatecreeper rounding out the bill. The revised UK dates will take place in March 2023, together with Kreator as special guests, but new support will be confirmed in coming weeks.
The band stated simply on their social media, "We regrettably announce that due to unforeseen circumstances we have to postpone the 'State of Unrest' tour with Kreator to February / March 2023. Support for the new dates will be announced soon."
Says Kreator: "We deeply regret having to move the State Of Unrest tour to February 2023, due to factors outside of Kreator's control. If you are one of the 50,000 people who have held tickets since 2020, thank you for your continued support and excitement for these shows!
"Fortunately, you won’t have to wait too long. We hope that your already amazing patience can hold out for another 2 months, we promise it will be worth the wait. If you hold a ticket for a show and are unable to attend your new date, refunds are available to you - please contact your point of purchase. See you soon! Hail to the Hordes!"
Original tickets remain valid for the new dates. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to reschedule the Glasgow, UK show and so refunds for that date will be available from point of purchase.

Kreator Unveils "Become Immortal" Music Video
The day has finally come for metal titans Kreator to unleash the beast that is their monster new album, "Hate Über Alles" - a strong album-of-the-year contender as well as a clear statement against hate and the division of society.
To mark its release day, Kreator presents "Become Immortal!" A lyrical and visual look back through the ages of their legendary career, whilst passing the torch to young German thrashers Destroy Them from Mille's hometown, Essen, who feature as the Kreator performing in the video.
Mille Petrozza comments:
"We’re very proud of this record and we hope our Hordes love it as much we do! A big thank you to everyone involved and to our fans around the world for their support and for giving us a warm welcome back!
"The video was our third in a row with Tom Schlagkamp and his team, it’s been a pleasure working with them.

Kreator Shares "Midnight Sun" Video
Today, extreme metal titans Kreator are proud to unveil "Midnight Sun," the third single from their forthcoming fifteenth studio album, "Hate Über Alles," which will be released on June 10th, 2022. The eagerly anticipated full-length is a strong album-of-the-year contender as well as a global statement against hate & the division of society. Before its release next month, Kreator gives you another treat in the form of the most unusual song "Hate Über Alles" has to offer. "Midnight Sun" manages to couple heavy guitar shredding and captivating groove metal with a melodramatic, larger-than-life chorus including female backing vocals, impressively showcasing Kreator's continued evolution of the genre they helped create.
Mille Petrozza comments:
"'Midnight Sun' is something a little new for us, our first time collaborating with a female artist. When I was writing the song, I could hear this Oracle type voice over the pre-chorus and chorus and I immediately reached out to my talented friend, Sofia Portanet who is an emerging artist, here in Germany. Sofia added exactly what I was looking for and gives the song a really dark, ethereal vibe.
"The video is the second production we shot with Tom Schlagkamp and his team. The concept was drawn up from the song’s lyrics which I envisaged to take place during a ritual sacrifice. Director, Tom came back with an idea loosely based on Ari Aster’s ‘Midsommar’ which has powerful visuals, perfect for a killer metal music video!" More...
Kreator Releases New Music Video
The mighty Kreator are proud to unveil "Strongest Of The Strong," the second single from their forthcoming fifteenth studio album, "Hate Über Alles," which will be released on June 10th, 2022. Five years after their highly acclaimed album "Gods Of Violence" (2017), peaking at #1 in the German album charts, the genre-defining band are happy to present this 11-track behemoth.
The unrelenting mid-tempo sledgehammer "Strongest Of The Strong" definitely lives up to its name and quite fittingly features renowned strongman and vegan advocate Patrik Baboumian who adds thundering backing vocals to the song's anthemic chorus.
Patrik also appears in the music video for the song as the comic book character Earthraiser who's fighting for animals and nature. The video was directed by Tom Schlagkamp and shot in South Africa. Check it out below!
Mille Petrozza comments:
"'Strongest Of The Strong' represents every person on this planet who is striving to become a force of good in a world filled with a lot of bad. It’s a straightforward banger with a message that only one man could carry; his name is Patrik ‘Earthraiser’ Baboumian! Great working with him in the studio and on the music video, a man with a lot of shared values with my own. We hope you enjoy!" More...

Kreator To Release New Album In June

Five years after their highly acclaimed album “Gods Of Violence” (2017), peaking at #1 in the German album charts, the genre-defining band are proud to present this 11-track behemoth.
For 37 years, Kreator has spear-headed a thrash metal crusade, inspiring generations of metal heads and musicians alike. The collision of traditional and contemporary values is a sentiment that Mille Petrozza has breathed in to the soul of this monumental new album; recruiting visionary producer Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy, Ghostmane and Turnstile) from Philadelphia to work with the band at the legendary Hansa Studio in Berlin. “Hate Über Alles” features gorgeously grim cover artwork by renowned artist Eliran Kantor (Testament, Thy Art Is Murder, Helloween), serving a bold statement against hate and division in today's society.

"Hate Über Alles reflects the time we’re living in. Everything is really loud and aggressive. The way we communicate has changed, thanks to social media. It causes a lot of imbalance.
