German thrash titans KREATOR have revealed some photos from the video shoot for the title track of their upcoming album, »Gods Of Violence«. See photos below.

The 14th KREATOR album is set to be released on January 27, 2017 worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records.

The video was shot with renowned video production company Grupa13 (AMON AMARTH, BEHEMOTH, ELUVEITIE).

KREATOR singer/guitarist and main songwriter Mille Petrozza comments: “We have prepared an amazing video trilogy with Grupa13 for our new album. We believe that they are among the most creative artists when it comes to surreal video art. The story line is linked to our album
concept and the first clip visualizes the birth of the KREATOR demon. Watch out, the video is to be released soon!”

The band also released the lyrics for the song. Read below.

WE SHALL KILL WE SHALL KILL WE SHALL KILL WE SHALL KILL

Rise God of violence in immortal majesty

The forces of seperatists to arms

Malicious titans and the fear their words can breed

The one commandment echoe forth as clouds of drones attack

WE SHALL KILL WE SHALL KILL WE SHALL KILL WE SHALL KILL

Rise of usurpers, indestructible regimes

And in times of war destroyers of hope

Kings of the Earth inject the core of the doctrine

Conflict yield to degradate the strongest minds of all

WE SHALL KILL- All as one

WE SHALL KILL – These battles can be won

WE SHALL KILL – Until we die

As the GODS OF VIOLENCE

GODS OF VIOLENCE

GODS OF VIOLENCE come alive

WE SHALL KILL- All as one

WE SHALL KILL – These battles can be won

WE SHALL KILL – Until we die

As the GODS OF VIOLENCE

GODS OF VIOLENCE

GODS OF VIOLENCE come alive

Dehumanizing killing spree, supported by technology

Women, children everyone will die

Praying there must come a day, the spark of peace enflames again

Heaven through the world into their lives

Protectors of the masterplan, waken darker sides of men

Instigate the war for all to see

Collateral damage in their name posse of luciferian

Commanders of satanic liberty liberty

WE SHALL KILL WE SHALL KILL WE SHALL KILL WE SHALL KILL

WE SHALL KILL- All as one

WE SHALL KILL – These battles can be won

WE SHALL KILL – Until we die

As the GODS OF VIOLENCE

GODS OF
VIOLENCE

GODS OF VIOLENCE come alive
