CREMATORY to release greatest hits album in May and release new single and video!

Live at METALFEST in PILSEN!

METALFEST OPEN AIR 2026 – Lochotín Amphitheatre, PILSEN – 5.–7. 6. 2026

German gothic metal pioneers CREMATORY have announced the release of their album “Greatest Hits: English Hymns & Deutsche Hymnen”, which will be released on May 15th! The album celebrates 35 years of their prolific and influential musical career and will be available as an extensive three-CD edition as well as a limited double vinyl version. Pre-orders are open >>HERE<<


Along with the announcement, the band has also revealed the music video for the song “Born”, check it out. Built around the piercing chorus “I was born in a bad time/bad world” and carried by heavy guitars and atmospheric synth layers, the song captures the emotional depth that has defined the band’s sound for decades.
Frontman Felix Stass explains: “‘Born’ is about feeling outside your own time and world. It’s for anyone who has ever felt like they don’t belong – and yet still hold on to their place.”


You can look forward to seeing CREMATORY, in their absolute Best of Show, live soon! Sunday, June 7th in the afternoon at the Lochotín Amphitheatre in PLZN, at METALFEST!
