Miland "Mille" Petrozza (born December 18, 1966) is a German (of Italian- from Calabria descent) guitarist and singer. He started playing in a school-band named Tyrant. He later founded the band Tormentor in 1984 but renamed it after a short while to Kreator.

Petrozza also shared lead vocals in union with Tomas Lindberg for the track 'Dirty Coloured Knife' on the 2002 album from Israeli metal act Nail Within.

In 1994, he played guitar in the metal all-star band Voodoocult, amongst such legends as Dave Lombardo of Slayer and Chuck Schuldiner of Death.

He did an appearance on Edguy's 2004 album: Hellfire Club by doing the lead vocal on an alternate version of the album's opening song (Mysteria) featured as a bonus track to the album. He also appeared on Caliban's 2006 album The Undying Darkness on track 11 "Moment of Clarity". Also, he acts as himself in the "IchGott"-videoclip of Honigdieb.

Petrozza has an extensive collection of guitars, but his primary guitar is a Jackson King V guitar, which he plays almost exclusively live.
