Snyde · February 2nd, 2012, 10:19 AM

On Twitter:

"We're proudly announce the album title of our upcoming release,which is coming on June 1,2012: PHANTOM ANTICHRIST!"

The album is currently being produced at the famous Fascination Street Studio with renowned producer Jens Bogren (OPETH, KATATONIA, SOILWORK, DEVIN TOWNSEND, AMON AMARTH) in Örebro, Sweden.

"Phantom Antichrist“ marks the bands debut for Nuclear Blast and is set to be released June 1, 2012 (Europe), June 5, 2012 (North America).

Furthermore, KREATOR will also release an exclusive 7“ single of the titlesong on April 20, 2012. The collector's item will be available in coloured red vinyl (limited to 250 pieces). As well as in clear vinyl (limited to 250 pieces, exclusively available at the Nuclear Blast Mailorder [link].

KREATOR will exclusively perform a new song during their shows at this years METALFEST open air events!"

cover for the 7 inch.

I don't know what to expect really. Kreator is still one of my favourite bands but I didn't think Hordes was that great of an album. The cover looks like the one on Violent Revolution and the title sounds pretty generic. I hope its good but I'll have to wait and hear some material before I make any judgements.

What do you guys think?

Can't wait to hear new Kreator stuff but I hope it doesn't sound like Hordes of Chaos Pt II. It's a good album but I think they only repeated themselves with it.

Phantom Antichrist? strange title for a Kreator album..

I just came to post this..... Damn.

Name is stupid if you ask me. Hope the music is good.

YESYESYESYESYES

I like Kreator. I think that Hordes of Chaos was a decent effort. But this album cover... massive turn off. IMO almost as shit as Violent Revolution.

zerostatic · February 2nd, 2012, 07:32 PM

I loved Hordes of Chaos and I think the album art is awesome.

Can't wait to see Kreator tour dates for N. America

How about a U.S. tour featuring

Kreator
Evile
Vektor

This isn't the album art, it's the 7-inch art.

I realize that after a bit of investigation on another metal site. I still stand by my opinion: album cover's worse than the one for Violent Revolution.

Caveman Ninja · February 2nd, 2012, 08:29 PM

I don't understand... The album cover hasn't been unveiled yet has it? Or am I just being retarded?

Incorrect! It is ME being a retard; I wound up saying album art AGAIN instead of 7-Inch art. But yeah, I was told this maybe a smaller part of the picture to be on the album cover. I still don't like it, and if it were to come to that, I'd be a tad bit disappointed.

Oh well, it's the music that counts.

Caveman Ninja · February 3rd, 2012, 07:15 AM

Ah, I see! I was confused and trying to find the album art and not finding it

I reckon it looks totally old-school actually. Not necessarily good, but old-school at least

thrasherdave · February 3rd, 2012, 07:52 AM

What a fucking horrible title. I have a bad feeling about this,

Alteredmindeath · February 3rd, 2012, 03:28 PM

I lost some respect for Kreator when Coroner stated they are only in it for the money. But I did enjoy their last album and also I enjoyed the video they made.

thrasherdave · February 4th, 2012, 03:35 AM

Aye, in all honesty I'll take Tommy's word for that. The pieces fit.

I'll still check this out, but Hordes of Chaos sullied my opinion of Kreator somewhat.

Killer From The Deep · February 4th, 2012, 08:00 PM

sweeeeeet.

ThatOneDude · February 10th, 2012, 02:50 PM

Who wants to see the New Kreator artwork? Of course you do!

All I can say is... meh, but at least it isn't shitty.

Infected Nations rip off.

Weird- IN was the first thing that came to my mind as well lol.

Snyde · February 10th, 2012, 05:27 PM

The background could be better and the guy on top looks pretty fuckin stupid... Otherwise, I guess it alright.

thrasherdave · February 10th, 2012, 07:47 PM

I said IN to Dylan earlier today. Not by the same fella though, contrary to speculation.

Caveman Ninja · February 10th, 2012, 07:51 PM

Looks pretty badass to me

zerostatic · February 10th, 2012, 08:22 PM

I like it. I think it would make a killer back patch for the thrash metal patch vest I am piecing together.

Indeed, it's raised my hopes for the record now - it's ALMOST as good as In War And Pieces, which had music to back up it's fucking incredible artwork. Let's hope these guys do the same.

Keenan · February 10th, 2012, 10:19 PM

Infected Nations is the first thing that came to my mind as well.

Alteredmindeath · February 11th, 2012, 03:53 PM

Cool! I like that art better!
