Venerable German thrash metal unit Kreator has officially signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Records.

Mille Petrozza (guitars, vocals) comments: "We're happy to anounce that Kreator has just signed a new long-dated deal with Nuclear Blast! Based on a friendship to Andy Siry (head of A&R of Nuclear Blast) that lasted for decades, we will now finally join forces on a professional level! Becoming a part of the NB family means a lot to us and together with the world's biggest metal label we will conquer the future!"

Andy Siry added: "For me another 'thrash dream' has come true with the signing of Germany's finest and Europe's leading thrash legends Kreator! I still remember the day when I heard 'Endless Pain' for the first time, I became a huge fan of the band. I have been following Kreator through their career and I built up a very good friendship with Mille. The last years I have been working very hard to make it possible that Kreator would join the Nuclear family. Together we are looking into a very bright future in which we will be leading Kreator onwards to world domination!"
