• Kreator Weighs-In on Conflict in Ukraine

  While plenty of musicians have weighed in on the War between the Ukraine and Russia, Kreator’s Millie Petrozza took to Instagram to give their opinion on the matter.
  “We were about to play a tour for our fans in both Ukraine and Russia next month. And now?

  As of this writing, the Kickstarter is 600-percent funded, which is a good sign for the plans Ward has to make the game a 5-book series, with each one based off of one of the Mike Patton fronted FNM albums.
