Kreator release 'Tränenpalast': Sinister horror symphony
Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
Kreator has released the second single from their upcoming album Krushers of the World, which is scheduled for release on January 16, 2026 via Nuclear Blast. The new composition, "Tränenpalast", is a powerful combination of the classic sound of Kreator and the atmosphere of Italian cinema of the 1970s. The recording featured Britta Hertz (Hiraes), giving the song a special expression and cold beauty.
The musicians paid tribute to the tradition of Italian horror, inspired by the cult film Suspiria (1977) and its modern remake Luca Guadagnino (2018). They also drew inspiration from the work of Goblin and its leader Claudio Simonetti, the creator of atmospheric soundtracks for horror films.
Polish production company Grupa13, known for its dark and visually rich works for such bands as Behemoth, Powerwolf, Amon Amarth and Arch Enemy, was involved in creating the music video.
