Album
Hate über alles
Hate über alles is Kreator's fifteenth studio album, released on 10 June 2022 through Nuclear Blast. The German thrash metal band had been going since the mid-1980s, and this record arrived after their longest gap between studio albums, five years on from Gods of Violence in 2017.
It also marks a change in the band's line-up. Frédéric Leclercq plays bass for the first time on a Kreator album, having replaced Christian "Speesy" Giesler in 2019. Arthur Rizk produced the record. For anyone following the band's story, it is the chapter that introduces a new bassist and follows their longest wait between albums.
