“‘Tränenpalast’ is our tribute to the great tradition of Italian cinema,” says Kreator’s Mille Petrozza. The band has revealed their newest single from their upcoming studio album and is preparing for their EU/UK tour.
Tränenpalast
Kreator has unleashed their newest single, “Tränenpalast”, featuring Britta Görtz of Hiraes. The song pays homage to Dario Argento’s 1977 cult film Suspiria through lyrics and video. The lyrics allude to “the three mothers”, an ancient witch cover from the Suspiria universe.
The cinematic music video features the band performing in a haunted ballet school, where images of said witches in various stages of transformation appear. The video was created by masters of the macabre, Grupa 13, and can be found here.
Kreator’s Mille Petrozza comments,”‘Tränenpalast’ è il nostro tributo alla grande tradizione del cinema italiano. Ci siamo ispirati al classico Suspiria di Dario Argento e al suo epico remake firmato da Luca Guadagnino. Musicalmente, ci inchiniamo ai grandi Goblin, in diretto dialogo con il maestro Claudio Simonetti. Speriamo che la canzone vi piaccia tanto quanto piace a noi. Solo amore per i grandi! Salve alle orde!”
