KREATOR UNLEASH “LOYAL TO THE GRAVE” VIDEO AS EUROPEAN TOUR RAGES AND U.S. RUN LOOMS
German thrash legends Kreator have unleashed a new video for “Loyal To The Grave,” keeping momentum high as their European tour powers ahead and a U.S. run looms this May.
The track, taken from their latest album Krushers Of The World, serves as the record’s closing statement and offers a slightly different angle on the band’s signature intensity. While still rooted in thrash, “Loyal To The Grave” leans into a more melodic approach, anchored by a soaring, anthemic chorus that gives the track a wider emotional reach without sacrificing weight.
From the first moments, the song carries a sense of purpose. The guitars remain sharp and driving, the rhythm section relentless, but there’s a clear emphasis on atmosphere and build. It’s a reminder that Kreator can expand their sound while still hitting with the same force that has defined their legacy.
The accompanying video pushes that idea further. Blending performance footage with cinematic elements, it taps into themes of loyalty, unity, and resilience while adding a darker, stylized edge. Frontman Mille Petrozza noted the visual was inspired by The Crow, adding, “The video was inspired by the movie The Crow this time. I hope you enjoy our little journey into obscurity as much as we do.”
Currently tearing through Europe alongside Exodus, Carcass, and Nails, Kreator have been delivering high-impact sets night after night, reinforcing their reputation as one of metal’s most formidable live acts. The tour runs through the end of April before the band shifts focus stateside.
This May, Kreator will bring that same intensity across the Atlantic, joining Carcass and Cold Steel for a highly anticipated U.S. tour. With a packed schedule and new material in rotation, 2026 is shaping up to be another major year for the band.
