These guys have to be my ║ │ │║ favourite thrash band from Germany along with ║ │ │║ Destruction and Sodom. While Destruction was ║ │ │║ widely known for the infamous buzz-saw guitar ║ │ │║ tone and Sodom has an infectious punk vibe mixed ║ │ │║ in with their brand of Teutonic thrash, Kreator ║ │ │║ were the crowning jewel of Teutonic thrash, ║ │ │║ starting off as pure aggression while slowly ║ │ │║ incorporating other elements into their brand of ║ │ │║ thrash. This album arguably represents them at ║ │ │║ their peak of innovation, with every track ║ │ │║ bursting to the seam with badass melodies, ║ │ │║ scintillating riffs along with every member of ║ │ │║ the band locked into the groove with the ║ │ │║ precision of a sniper, from the moment the ║ │ │║ acoustic intro of ôWhen The Sun Burns Redö fades ║ │ │║ out. This song is arguably one of their best ║ │ │║ containing a freaking truckload of riffs enough ║ │ │║ to fill two songs and an amazing solo to boot. ║ │ │║ The thrash-fest is just beginning folks, so ║ │ │║ prepare your back and neck already. YouÆre about ║ │ │║ to get the beating of your lives with this. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The first thing that stands out is the superbly ║ │ │║ varied guitarwork. Now Kreator in the beginning ║ │ │║ was the main band waving the flash of brutal ║ │ │║ thrash with the Endless Pain EP and their ║ │ │║ sophomore debut. Post ôTerrible Certaintyö they ║ │ │║ started introducing more elements of melody and ║ │ │║ technicality into their music as opposed to the ║ │ │║ straightforward brutality of ôPleasure To Killö. ║ │ │║ This album is the perfect mix of all those ║ │ │║ elements into one sparkling diamond of thrash. ║ │ │║ The fist-pumping guitar tone is massive and will ║ │ │║ carve you up into little slices of flesh only to ║ │ │║ shit and piss on your remains. Most of the songs ║ │ │║ are faced paced with a few mid-paced moments ║ │ │║ which are there, but are few and far between. ║ │ │║ One of the very few thrash albums where there ║ │ │║ are equal parts melody and brutality and neither ║ │ │║ of the two elements are compromised for the sake ║ │ │║ of one another. There are so many thrash/death ║ │ │║ metal albums that just seem to follow ôExtremity ║ │ │║ for extremityÆs sakeö syndrome making them plain ║ │ │║ unmemorable and boring after a few spins. Not ║ │ │║ this one. Even the solos are not at all the ║ │ │║ usual chromatic flurries of thrash and death, ║ │ │║ resembling more of the classic feel of NWOBHM, ║ │ │║ making for yet another delightful contrast. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Mille PetrozzaÆs vocals have certainly improved ║ │ │║ by leaps and bounds compared to the raspier ║ │ │║ vocals of the previous albums only to unleash ║ │ │║ his inner beast within on this album with the ║ │ │║ vicious snarling of black metal coupled with the ║ │ │║ traditional death metal growl. Needless to say, ║ │ │║ the vocals sound punishing and venomous as hell. ║ │ │║ Every single effing song is a standout people ║ │ │║ from the vicious technical riffs and choppy ║ │ │║ rhythms of ôComa Of Soulsö, ôHidden Dictatorö, ║ │ │║ ôMaterial World Paranoiaö (one SICK outro!) and ║ │ │║ ôAgents Of Brutalityö to melodic thrashers like ║ │ │║ ôTerror Zoneö and ôMental Slaveryö. When youÆre ║ │ │║ struggling to pick standout tracks, you ║ │ │║ instantly know that thatÆs the sign of a classic ║ │ │║ album. Even to this day with kickass albums like ║ │ │║ Enemy Of God and Phantom Antichrist, Kreator ║ │ │║ have yet to surpass the brilliance of this album ║ │ │║ IMO, which is a testament by itself as to how ║ │ │║ damn good this album (still) is. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ All in all, one of the classics of thrash. And ║ │ │║ seriously, what more could you want? If you are ║ │ │║ a thrash fan and are yet to hear it, you ║ │ │║ honestly should be ashamed. Kindly get your ass ║ │ │║ moving and do the needful. Oh and before you do ║ │ │║ anything else, listen to one of the best, most ║ │ │║ brutal thrash songs ever, namely ôPeople Of The ║ │ │║ Lieö with one of the most amazing guitar solos I ║ │ │║ have ever heard. God-bustlingly epic and ║ │ │║ overflowing with melodic ecstasy in every sense ║ │ │║ of the word. CanÆt even begin to tell you how ║ │ │║ many times IÆve put this track on repeat. The ║ │ │║ headbanging that ensues is guaranteed to cause ║ │ │║ permanent spine and neck trauma. Take my word ║ │ │║ for it. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review written by Writhingchaos for www.metal- ║ │ │║ archives.com ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Mille - Vocals, Guitars ║ │ │║ Frank - Guitars ║ │ │║ Ventor - Drums ║ │ │║ Rob - Bass ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ - CD1 [ ] │ │ - [ ] │ │ 01 - When The Sun Burns Red [05:32] │ │ 02 - Coma Of Souls [04:18] │ │ 03 - People Of The Lie [03:16] │ │ 04 - World Beyond [02:03] │ │ 05 - Terror Zone [05:57] │ │ 06 - Agents Of Brutality [05:18] │ │ 07 - Material World Paranoia [05:01] │ │ 08 - Twisted Urges [02:46] │ │ 09 - Hidden Dictator [04:51] │ │ 10 - Mental Slavery [05:46] │ │ - [ ] │ │ - CD2 [ ] │ │ - [ ] │ │ 01 - When The Sun Burns Red [05:51] │ │ 02 - Betrayer [04:37] │ │ 03 - Terrible Certainty [05:58] │ │ 04 - Extreme Agression [05:50] │ │ 05 - Coma Of Souls [05:01] │ │ 06 - People Of The Lie [03:26] │ │ 07 - Choir Of The Damned [01:27] │ │ 08 - The Pestilence [08:44] │ │ 09 - Toxic Trace [04:15] │ │ 10 - Drum Solo [02:54] │ │ 11 - Terror Zone [06:04] │ │ 12 - Pleasure To Kill [06:50] │ │ 13 - Flag Of Hate [02:59] │ │ 14 - Agents Of Brutality [05:18] │ │ 15 - Riot Of Violence [06:11] │ │ 16 - Tormentor [03:30] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [123:4] min │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
