My first ‘gig’, so to speak, for Metal-Rules.com started off freezing cold. London has been relatively warm for the past few weeks, but it chose today of all days to hail and snow and bluster while I was standing in line for 2 hours to watch the mighty Kreator at KOKO Camden. Bollocks to that for a start.

Mille Petrozza of Kreator

Interview, live and interview pictures by Luxi Lahtinen

Nummirock Festival, located basically in the middle of forests, near by one small lake (or more commonly put, located in the middle of nowhere which most of you want me to say anyway, ha!), celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. The organizers of the festival had booked a bunch of interesting metal acts to the bill of this 2-day festival, off which bands like Kreator, Deicide, Hypocrisy, Amorphis, Samael, Marduk, Tarot and Korpiklaani surely gave metalheads a good enough reason to invest their hard-earned savings in for this particular summer happening. Only one negative setback was announced at the very last minutes as Deicide had to pull out from the festival due to some ?ugly? financial issues with the gig booking agency, being responsible for their tour in the European ground (which sadly resulted in the cancellation of the whole European tour for Deicide). That was already the second attempt from Deicide to play in Finland for the very first time, but every time they have had to cancel their shows. Well, that time will come for them eventually for sure when they will finally get a chance to play in front of their very supportive Finnish metal maniacs… ;o)

One of the finest German Thrash Metal combos ever, Kreator, luckily didn?t have to cancel their live appearance at the Nummirock Festival this year though. The band proved to be in a fine, energetic strike in a live situation at the festival, and the support from the crowd was upliftingly enormous toward Kreator. The band has always been greatly welcomed by the Finnish metalheads – no matter where they have played in Finland.

Metal-Rules.com caught up with Mille from Kreator at the backstage area right before the band was about to get confronted with their fanatical (mostly) Finnish audience, and basically asked about what?s going on in the Kreator -camp; when to expect new material from the band, Mille?s endorsement deal with the Moser guitars, etc. – and what Mille actually did on Saturday evening on 20th, May 2006…

Mille Petrozza – Kreator
Interviewed in Jan 2001 by EvilG

This interview was scheduled to be done via phone, but due to time constraints was done via e-mail. Mille was pressed for time so the replies are not the longest. However it does give some insight on what we can expect for the next Kreator CD. Hopefully when that comes out we will get the chance for a proper telephone interview so we can pick Millie’s brain a little better!

Mille Petrozza of Kreator
Interview and live pictures by Luxi Lahtinen

The German Thrash Metal pioneers Kreator arrived in Finland on the 7th of March, 2005 to do ?Tuska Winter War?. Along for the tour was the Swedish Dark Tranquillity and the headliners Cradle of Filth. That was also the last date of the European leg for Kreator, which the band had already started in the beginning of February 2005. Kreator was about to head to South America to do a bunch of dates there. The ?Enemy of God? tour has been the most successful Kreator tour for them for many years and they have had sold out shows all over Europe. Kreator?s latest album ENEMY OF GOD has also been doing very well in many countries worldwide, climbing up on several album charts lists, so the fans have really appreciated the band?s latest effort.

I met the always friendly Mille from Kreator just 2 hours before the showtime and we basically focused on talking about their ongoing tour, the band?s well-received ENEMY OF GOD album, Thrash Metal revival in todays?s scene as its own single yet strong phenomenon and tried to spell the band?s Finnish quitarist?s, Sami?s last name correctly…  ;=)
