PHILADELPHIA, PA - Returning to North America for the second run in support of its 13th studio album Phantom Antichrist, German thrash overlord Kreator kicked off its "Legends of Thrash" tour last night in Baltimore, Md. with co-headliner Overkill and Warbringer in tow. The run will continue tonight in Philadelphia, Pa. and throughout most of November, wrapping up with back-to-back New York City shows on November 23 and 24.
Checking in before the first performance last night in, frontman/guitarist Mille Petrozza commented:
"This upcoming North American tour will be a total massacre! Who would have thought 20 years ago that it would be possible to see Kreator, Overkill and Warbringer live on stage on the same bill? Growing up with 'Feel the Fire' and 'Taking Over' up to the newer releases like 'Iron Bound,' we feel absolutely privileged and honored to share the stage with the boys from Overkill on this run. This is a dream come true for us and for the fans. See you all at the shows!"
Kreator's Phantom Antichrist debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and #130 on the Billboard Top 200 in July 2012.
