The band consists in Mille Petrozza (Guitar and vocals), Jürgen “Ventor” Reil (Drums), Sami Yli-Sirniö (Guitar) and Frédéric Leclercq (Bass).
The band was formed in Essen, in 1982. Their lineup has changed multiple times over its 37-year career, most noticeably with their bassists and lead guitarists. Petrozza and Reil are the only two original members left in Kreator, though the latter had one hiatus from the band, from 1994 to 1996.
Their musical style is similar to that of their compatriots Destruction, Sodom and Tankard. Also with those three bands, Kreator has been referred to as one of the “Big Four” of Teutonic thrash metal.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
