Overdrive brings you exclusive excerpts from the feature interview with Mille Petrozza below…
Speaking of the documentary, he says “I have to be honest with you, this documentary was not our idea, and in fact, we are not involved in the production side of it. The whole concept came from Cordula, who approached us with this proposition and she creative control. She is a very well-respected director who has produced some incredible cinematic documentaries in the past, so I’m very excited to see the finished film. I’m usually a control freak when it comes to things like this, so it’s a very surreal experience not being in the driving seat when it comes to creative decision making, but I have total faith and trust in Cordula”.
When asked about the status of the previously mentioned “Ultimate Kreator Book“, he responded saying; “Well, I can tell you that the book is done! A friend of mine, and I, have been co-writing a book together looking specifically at the early years of the band, specifically up to 1992″.
“The thing is, we have a German publisher and they’re, hopefully, going to be making this book available in English. But as of now, we are looking to release the book in 2025”.
He continues, “I can also tell you the working title of the book is, “Your Heaven, My Hell’, and we go very deep into the struggles of starting the band, the impact of the tape-trading community back then, and loads of stores and interesting moments that led to the band being where we are today.
So, keep your eyes for more details coming very soon. But in the meantime, I can’t wait to see the EU/UK hordes BRING IT on these next run of dates!”
