About KREATOR: KREATOR is a German thrash metal band formed in Essen in 1982. With a career spanning several decades, the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of the genre, earning them a dedicated global fanbase.
About POSSESSED: POSSESSED heralded as the first official death metal band was formed in 1982 and established the face of the genre permanently. There was a time in which genuine power was felt erupting from the sonic landscape that is now referred to as “old school” death metal. As with most newly developed forms of art, at its genesis, it was filled with fresh and vibrant energy and was virtually unsaturated by musicians.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Having seen the two co-headlining bands on numerous occasions over the years of being involved in the Metal Media, I have to say that this is going to be a tour for the record books since its just going to be super exciting. Historically speaking, I’ve never ever seen a bad performance by either Testament or Kreator and each raises the level of Metal appreciation in the hearts of their fans. Now Possessed is also a legendary act, but not one that I ever followed all that diligently. Sure I recognize their overall importance and I am so glad that they will be leading the charge on this tour run and advise that no one who plans on attending gets there late. Considering the ticket prices and cost of the other items we enjoy at shows, why miss a single second of a show. Especially one like this. I’ll wrap up now but before I go let’s get some vibe from the masses. What do you think about this tour and will you look to attend one or more of the performances? Chime in down below in the comments section as we always love to hear from you when you decide to do so. See you next time. There is a lot of exciting stuff happening in the music and pop culture scene and the year isn’t even at the halfway point.
