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.

 

[Caveman Ninja]

YESYESYESYESYES

 

[ThatOneDude]

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.

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.

 

[ThatOneDude]

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]

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

 

[ThatOneDude]

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]

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

 

[D.Ingram]

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

 

[Alteredmindeath]

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.

 

[D.Ingram]

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]

sweeeeeet.

 

[ThatOneDude]

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.

 

[Ocelot2010]

Infected Nations rip off.

 

[Killer From The Deep]

Infected Nations rip off.

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

 

[Snyde]

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

 

[D.Ingram]

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