Архив новостей | Русская версия
German extreme metal titans KREATOR have unveiled "Midnight Sun", the third single from their upcoming fifteenth studio album, "Hate Über Alles". The eagerly anticipated full-length is a strong album-of-the-year contender as well as a global statement against hate and the division of society. Before its arrival 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.
KREATOR frontman 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."
"Hate Über Alles" will be released on June 10 via Nuclear Blast. The follow-up to 2017's "Gods Of Violence" was recorded at Hansa Tonstudio in Berlin, Germany. Helming the sessions was Arthur Rizk, who has previously worked with CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, CODE ORANGE, POWER TRIP and SOULFLY, among others.
Regarding the "Hate Über Alles" album title, Petrozza previously said: "'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. The world is in a state of disrepair. Life is not harmonic right now, it's disharmonic… that's where I was going with the title."
The "Hate Über Alles" cover artwork was created by Eliran Kantor, who has previously worked with HATEBREED, SOULFLY, TESTAMENT, ICED EARTH and SODOM, among others.
