Leclercq: “It is an honour as well as a huge step up in my musical journey. I’ve been friends with Mille Petrozza for over 15 years and a lifelong Kreator fan. I have to pinch myself every day to believe that I’m now a part of one of the best and most influential bands in the genre. I look forward to the many adventures ahead and getting well acquainted with the legendary KREATOR Hordes!”

Added Mille Petrozza: “Firstly, we would like to say thank you to Speesy for his time in Kreator over the last 25 years. We have accomplished so much. And I sincerely wish him the best in his future! A new chapter for Kreator beckons. Bienvenu Frederic Leclercq! Fred represents a new focus and hunger within Kreator and we’re extremely excited to have him a part of the Kreator family. Not only is he an exceptional musician but a great human being which made the decision to have him join the band very easy! We begin in Chile and continue on to some explosive years ahead!”
