Kreator is a Thrash Metal band hailing from Essen, Germany. Originally formed in 1982 as Tormentor, the band underwent a name change in 1984 after the departure of singer Manfred Rehberg. Led by Jürgen "Ventor" Reil on drums and Miland "Mille" Petrozza on vocals and guitar, Kreator has become one of the most influential bands in the genre.

With their current line-up consisting of talented musicians such as Marco Minnemann on live drums, Sami Yli-Sirniö on guitar, and Frédéric Leclercq on bass, Kreator continues to deliver powerful performances that captivate audiences worldwide.

Throughout their career, Kreator has seen several changes in their lineup with notable past members including Roberto "Rob" Fioretti and Andreas Herz on bass, Christian "Speesy" Giesler on bass for an impressive 25 years from 1994 to 2019, Joe Cangelosi on drums from 1994 to 1996, Thomas "Tommy" Vetterli on guitar from 1996 to 2001, Frank "Blackfire" Gosdzik on guitar from 1989 to 1996, Jörg "Tritze" Trzebiatowski on guitar from 1986 to 1989, and Michael Wulf who sadly passed away in 1986.

Formed in Essen, Germany in 1984, Kreator are arguably the most influential and successful European thrash metal band ever. Like many of their European speed metal brethren, Kreator fused Metallica's thrash innovations with Venom's proto-black metal imagery. Often credited with helping pioneer death metal and black metal by containing several elements of what was to become those genres. The band has achieved worldwide sales of over two million units for combined sales of all their albums, making them one of the best-selling German thrash metal bands of all time. The band’s style has changed several times over the years, from a Venom-inspired speed metal sound, later moving in to thrash metal, and including a period of transitioning from thrash to industrial metal and gothic metal throughout the 1990s. In the early 2000s, Kreator returned to their classic thrash sound, which has continued to the present. Their last studio album ‘Gods Of Violence’ charted top twenty in ten countries, including a number one slot in their home country of Germany.
