KREATOR – DYSTOPIA AND HOPE (WT)

While Heavy Metal was once considered being a threat to society, with the stars of the scene seen as satanic and glorifying violence, KREATOR’s singer and guitarist Mille Petrozza lives the opposite of the Rock‘n’Roll cliché: he doesn‘t drink alcohol, practices yoga, is well-read, culturally interested, vegan and involved in animal welfare. In his lyrics, Petrozza reflects on evil and denounces societal injustices. The film follows the internationally acclaimed German thrash metal band KREATOR for a year during concerts in Japan, India and Gelsenkirchen, and tells the band‘s history based on exclusive archive ma­terial, starting from their beginnings as teenagers in 1984.
