35 Years Ago: KREATOR release Flag of Hate

...I think it's already released. It's a little later than we expected because there was a mistake in the cutting, but it should definitely be out. To give you an idea of our new material, one track is about seven and a half minutes, another is slower like "Riot Of Violence" and there is hat better re-recording of "Flag Of Hate".

KREATOR released Flag of Hate - their first EP - on this day in 1986.

We had learnt a lot since the old days and our riffs were just getting better and better. I wasn't pleased with "Endless Pain" because the production was very bad. It should have sounded like "Flag Of Hate" on the new EP, that's more like us really... We hope that new material will be better still because our style is changing and my lyrics are better.

With "Flag Of Hate" out we are hoping to do some more dates in Europe, hopefully including Italy and the UK, then we can get over to see all our fans in the States - we have to make it sometime! As I said nothing is decided yet so you'll have to wait and see.
