Fiery German thrash, Kreator have become a much respected band within the heavy metal genre, always maintaining a solid fan base and producing high quality material.Whilst they never reached the lofty heights of say Slayer, they've remained true to themselves, churning out a dry, coarse lesson in speed metal that's never sold out or succumbed to being melodic.
Fronted by sneering frontman Mille Petrozza, 'Endless Pain' remains a cult classic. The sleeve is typically metal in its attitude, a flag-bearing warrior charging through the bodies pf foe he has slain, the portrait accompanied by a sound that never lets up, a full-on barrage of fizzing riffs, tribal drums and vocal rasps.
'Tormentor' and 'Total Death' border on black metal grimness, and 'Storm Of The Beast' with its drum roll entrance is pure metal belligerence.
Kreator may not offer you thrills and spills, but if its all hands to the pump, no holds barred thrash you're after then spend your cash here.
8/10
