The new video by German thrash legends Kreator for the track “Hordes of Chaos (A Necrologue For the Elite)” will premiere here on HeadbangersBlog.com in the days ahead. But for now, we’ve got a bunch of exclusive stills from the video not available on the band’s MySpace.
The video was shot November 2 in Berlin, Germany with director Jörn Heitmann, who filmed Kreator’s “Enemy of God” and who has also worked with Rammstein. The clip depicts the band performing on a hill of bodies while “Gladiator”-style battles rage around them. Click more to see shots from the video and read commentary by frontman Mille Petrozza.
Mille Petrozza: It’s a little cliché, of course. It’s a sword and sorcery, “Conan the Barbarian 300″ kind of thing, but it’s pretty brutal and I think it’s fun. I really like the director and I think he did a good job. It was hard for him, but for us it was easy, because our part took only two ours. But we had to wait a lot because they had to shoot these fighting scenes the whole day. So, we worked for two hours and waited for eight.
In the video there’s a pile of dead people on the ground and we’re in the middle of them. Of course, they weren’t really dead, but it still felt kind of strange to be between all these people lying on the ground on this hill and it was kind of funny, too because they were there pretending to be dead and we had to perform above them while they just lay there. But they did a great job and I’m really happy.”
