Maria Voutyriadou and Dimitris Kontogeorgakos of Metal Kaoz recently conducted an interview with KREATOR mastermind Mille Petrozza, who talked about the new album, the US tour and the possibility to tour the US again with SODOM and DESTRUCTION. An excerpt follows:
Q: First, the obvious question; how is the US tour so far?
A: "Great, we have a lot of fun, the shows are all packed, we are getting along with ACCEPT quite well, so it’s an amazing tour for us; I have to say this is one of the most successful tour we had in the US."
Q: So, was it your decision to tour with Accept, or it was the label’s idea?
A: "In fact, Accept's manager suggested this tour to us and we thought about it and all of a sudden became a reality."
Q: To tell you the truth we were expecting to see Kreator on a different billing since last time we spoke to Mike from Destruction he told us that they were thinking of touring the US along with Sodom and Kreator. So, did you have any discussions about this matter?
A: "We have been talking about this all the time! We have been having this discussion since the last time we were in Greece along with Sodom and Destruction about getting that tour in the US. But this never happened and you wanna know why?"
Q: Of course…
A: "There are certain people who don’t want to tour. Schmier wants to tour, we want to tour but Tom from Sodom does not. And as you can understand we can only do this tour with the three bands onboard because otherwise it would not be the same. So, without Sodom this will never happen and I am really sorry to say this."
