After years of ready, the Massive 4 Of German Thrash are getting collectively for a present! Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, and Tankard are booked for the Klash Of The Ruhrpott pageant on July 20, 2024 at Amphitheater Gelsenkirchen in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, with tickets happening sale come August 2.
“I am so joyful we’ve got a possibility to current this package deal in the easiest way doable! It will be a extremely big day, full of affection and respect…and essentially the most intensive Kreator set ever…put together for some DEEP CUTS!” mentioned Kreator‘s Mille Petrozza.
“I’m very joyful to lastly be capable to share the stage with my previous companions and pals once more,” mentioned Thomas “Angelripper” Such of Sodom. “A gathering with these 4 incredible bands can’t be surpassed by way of cult standing. Will probably be a really particular occasion for us and our followers. Till then, please keep wholesome and assured. See ya quickly… Cheers, Tom.”
“Oh YES — all of us have been ready for this to occur, I’m excited that it lastly labored out!” mentioned Destruction‘s Schmier. “Hopefully that is the start of some extra to come back! We’re tremendous thrilled to be part of this. Thanks for the invitation, Mille!”
“Good issues take time! Lastly the 4 massive will conflict and thrash collectively,” mentioned Tankard‘s Andreas “Gerre” Geremia. “We really feel very proud to be part of this historic occasion!”
Again in 2022, Angelripper mentioned why he felt a German Massive 4 tour would by no means occur. And to be honest, he was proper – however a pageant was clearly within the playing cards.
“I like Destruction. Schmier is an effective buddy of mine. They’ve a special fashion of music. Destruction is extra thrash metallic than Sodom; we’ve got extra black metallic or heavy metallic influences. I am so happy with them. They did it. They created their very own fashion. They’ve the proper singer within the band. We all the time speak in regards to the ‘Massive 4’ and touring collectively, but it surely’s exhausting to do. I feel Mille will not be enthusiastic about doing it.
“We performed the Mexico Metallic Fest final month, the ‘Massive 4’, with Hellhammer [performed by Tom G. Warrior‘s Triumph Of Death] and Grave Digger and I talked to Schmier, we had a beer with Gerre, however I did not see Mille. He got here on stage and went again to the resort. He would not need to spend any time with us. I do not know why. Possibly he is residing on a special planet. I do not suppose this tour will ever occur.”
