Commented Kreator mastermind Mille Petrozza: "'Gods of Violence' was the first song I wrote for this album and it stuck to me as the title track. It contains everything Kreator is known for and it will blow your minds. Promise!"

'Gods of Violence' was recorded under the watchful eyes of producer Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth, Katatonia) who also mixed the record at renowned Fascination Street Studios. Mastering was done by Tony Lindgren, also at Fascination Street Studios.

The cover art was created by renowned artist Jan Meininghaus, who also did the limited edition artwork for Kreator's last album, 'Phantom Antichrist' (2012) and lent his talents to band like Bolt Thrower, Accept or Overkill in the past.

Regarding the artwork Petrozza adds: "The cover of is a perfect reflection of my lyrical vision. I think this is Jan Meininghaus' best work so far."

Mille Petrozza comments: "We have prepared an amazing video trilogy with Grupa13 for our new album. We believe that they are among the most creative artists when it comes to surreal video art. The story line is linked to our album concept and the first clip visualizes the birth of the KREATOR demon."
