KREATOR Pay Homage to Dario Argento's Horror Classic "Suspiria" in "Tränenpalast" (Feat. Britta Görtz) Video

Metal titans KREATOR have released a new single from their sixteenth full-length, Krushers Of The World, which will be out on January 16 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Arriving just in time for Halloween, the song "Tränenpalast" is a comprehensive homage to horror maestro Dario Argento's 1977 cult film Suspiria, which is hailed by fans as one of the most defining genre entries of its era. While the lead melody references the film's original score by Italian prog band GOBLIN, lending it a melodic death metal touch, the lyrics mention "the three mothers," an ancient witch coven from the Suspiria universe. In addition, the music video created by acclaimed masters of the macabre, Grupa 13, features KREATOR performing in the film's haunted ballet school setting complemented by disturbing images of said witches in various stages of transformation.

"Tränenpalast" features vocal coach Britta Görtz of extreme metal band HIRAES.

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!"
