In an era dominated by reunions and reissues, anniversaries and anthologies, you won't find KREATOR guitarist/vocalist Mille Petrozza getting tripped up while looking backwards. "This is the most important moment in your life," Petrozza adamantly told Guitar World’s Josh Hart. "It's not about what you've achieved in the past, it's what you are doing now." When asked about the meaning of the phrase ‘phantom antichrist,’ Mille’s response was: “The title came from a radio program I was listening to in Germany where they were talking about how Osama Bin Laden got killed and then thrown into the ocean — for religious religions. And there is no such thing as a sea burial in the Muslim religion, as far as I know. And that's where I got the inspiration for the title from. “But the song itself isn't really a political thing. It's more about a force that comes to earth, destroys all life and a new beginning starts with a new consciousness. The thing could be really anything. It's a metaphor for a very, very brutal force that could be destructive but creative too. Basically, what it's about — and what this album is about — is mass media manipulation. There's a lot of lyrical variety on the album. “You, of course, get the KREATOR treatment where I talk about politics — sometimes — but not in the sense of preaching politics, because I'm not a fan of that. I write songs that are more inspired by political issues rather than talking about my opinion, because politics are boring in my opinion. But there's a lot of injustice and a lot of oppression, which is being supported by certain politicians and governments. That's something KREATOR has been writing about forever and it's always going to be a part of our lyrical themes. You can find anything from fiction to personal stuff to more social issues ... like I said, the full KREATOR treatment.
