Back in May, Kreator released a video for the song “Conquer And Destroy” from their latest album, Hate Über Alles. The live footage was filmed on March 4, 2023 in front of 6000 of the band's mighty Hordes in their spiritual home of Essen. This very special show at Grugahalle not only featured a career-spanning Kreator set list full of neckbreakers and beloved anthems, but also visually stunning high-end production solidifying the event as an unforgettable night for everyone in attendence. From opener “Hate Über Alles” all the way through to the final encore of “Pleasure To Kill”, the performance was a maelstrom of mosh pits and raised fists.
