Kreator Documentary ‘Hate & Hope’ Opens in German Cinemas on Sept. 4

The release coincides with Mille Petrozza’s memoir.

Overview

  • Cordula Kablitz-Post’s feature follows the Essen thrash veterans on tour and in the studio over roughly a year.
  • Footage spans Wacken, Tokyo, Osaka, Bangalore and Los Angeles alongside rehearsals at Essen’s Zeche Carl.
  • The portrait contrasts demonic stage imagery and hard-edged lyrics with Petrozza’s vegan, disciplined offstage life.
  • Kreator’s anti-fascist stance is central, including a visit to the Buchenwald memorial and recollections of 1990s onstage signals.
  • Neue Visionen is releasing the film in selected German theaters as the band marks four decades with a lineup anchored by Sami Yli-Sirniö and Frédéric Leclercq and a multigenerational global fanbase.
