Kreator - Hate & Hope

We are the Kreator!

For their fans, they are gods - but their music seems possessed by the devil. KREATOR – Hate & Hope tears open four decades of metal history, where speed, fury, and a no-compromise attitude have never lost their bite. From schoolboys in the Ruhr to global thrash titans, Kreator have always played their own ruthless game – guitars shredding, drums thundering, no mercy given.

Director Cordula Kablitz-Post shadows the band across the globe – from Wacken to Tokyo, Los Angeles to the hometown spectacle “Klash of the Ruhrpott.” Unearthed archive footage, ferocious live cuts, and bare-knuckle interviews with members of Anthrax, Testament, and Behemoth paint a portrait of a band that doesn’t shy away from darkness but turns it into fuel for creative detonation.

More than just a snapshot of metal history, this is a blood-raw Molotov cocktail where headless corpses, chaos, and poetry collide. Hate and hope. Kreator return to their roots to show why they can’t be stopped. Hail the hordes!
