News : Kreator and Death Angel to tour Australia in April

By on January 17, 2014

Metropolis Touring have done it again! Following the week of the warriors with their 3 Inches of Blood tour, Metropolis are bringing two of thrash metal’s finest to Australia; Teutonic thrash titans Kreator, from Germany, and Bay Area legends Death Angel.

Both are touring on successful new releases. Kreator released their last album ‘Phantom Antichrist’ in 2012 and the ‘Dying Alive’ DVD in 2013, while Death Angel released what is arguably their strongest album since their return, titled ‘The Dream Calls For Blood’.

For nearly 30 years, Germanys biggest export in thrash metal, KREATOR, have proven to be persistent, innovative and an unstoppable force. Their legendary status has influenced many current bands and they are part of the “Teutonic Big 4’’ alongside Destruction, Sodom & Tankard.

Since their inception in 1982 they have released 13 raw, powerful and explosive studio albums. KREATOR successfully blended influences from US Thrash contemporaries Metallica, Slayer and co, with their signature brand of blistering Euro Metal to create a sound that has endeared them to fans worldwide. In 2012 KREATOR released their stunning album ‘Phantom Antichrist’ which saw the band receive their highest ever German chart success. KREATOR recently released the scintillating live DVD ‘Dying Alive’

Joining the mighty KREATOR will be none other than San Francisco’s thrash metal legends, DEATH ANGEL.

Spawning from the home of many a legendary Thrash band, the Bay Area, DEATH ANGEL are set to destroy Australian stages and to show as to why they are so heavily recognized as influential bands of the genre. Their groundbreaking album ‘Act III’ remains an “all-time thrash classic’’ (Metal Hammer) and their recent 2013 release ‘The Dream Calls For Blood’ wowed the critics with smashing return to their brilliant best.

One thing is for certain… this is an opportunity to see thrash metal supremacy at its best, an incredible and inspirational double bill onslaught. Thrash ‘Til Death!

Tickets are only $59 + booking fee’s and are on sale along with VIP Meet and Greet Packages for both bands at 9am Thursday 23rd January from here.
