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...  ;=)
