They let their hair grow, formed a band and landed a record deal before they had even reached twenty. "Drawing on exclusive interviews with the band's members (both past and present), family, producers, filmmakers and crew, 'Violent Evolution' explores the band's remarkable rise from formative years to spectacular success, headlining the greatest open-air stages on the planet. "This is their story, from the start to today; from kindergarten (literally) to rulers of the thrash kingdom. An exciting chronicle of one of the most important thrash metal bands in the world."KREATOR's new concert DVD/Blu-ray, "Dying Alive", entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 9."Dying Alive" was released on August 30, 2013 via Nuclear Blast.
