Split 7” tracklisting:

Side B (Kreator)
"Iron Destiny"
Arch Enemy's Michael Amott (guitar) comments: “Super excited about the upcoming tours in Europe and USA with Kreator, and it's really cool to have this split vinyl 7" coming out to celebrate the extreme metal party of the year! Covering the Judas Priest classic "Breaking The Law" is obviously not the most original idea, but this is a heavily rearranged version that sounds very Arch Enemy, and anyhow there's no denying that the mighty Priest is a great influence on Arch Enemy...Enjoy this unique and limited Kreator/Arch Enemy release and see you on the road!”
Kreator’s Mille Petrozza (vocals, guitar) comments: “Finally, after all these years, Arch Enemy and Kreator not only tour together, but will also release a split single! I have always been a fan of this stuff since these are special little collector’s items. We chose the song "Iron Destiny" for this. Lyrically this is a tribute to the early days of the band, the days when we were young metal-heads, discovering the music that we still love to this day. Kreator is looking forward to this run and we hope to see all of you!”
Kreator recently announced their extended run of live dates for this fall, including a show at the prestigious Japanese Loudpark Festival in Tokyo. Joining forces with Kreator for their headlining run in Europe and North America are Arch Enemy.
Following the release of their live DVD/Blu-ray, Dying Alive, as well as a massive onslaught at this years’ Wacken Open Air, Kreator will kick off their world tour October 19th and will be on the road until December 22nd.
