Kreator

[Dark Star]

Ok got to listening to some good German thrash and of course I chose Kreator, cause to Me they are one of the Best!! So I got to thinkin...

 

What's everyone's favorite by these guys??

 

For Me?? Extreme Aggression!!!!

[TIM (2)]

Good topic... I voted for the slighly more tuneful follow-up "Coma of Souls", but "Extreme Aggression" is a good one too. Another band still making good music to this day.

 

Though I do think that SODOM's "Agent Orange" is the best German Thrash album....

[HighNDryRulz]

I just have not been able to get into this group yet.

 

I am not a huge fan of thrash, but I like early Metallica and a good bit of Testament, especially their latest release.

 

Where would be a good point for me to start with Kreator?

[aMetalhead1966]

I went with Coma of Souls 1st and Endorama (Yes Endorama) 2nd....

Both are so Different and I really like them both....

[Dan Friml]

Renewal for me... I like almost everything they did up to this album and Extreme Aggression would be close second...

[Dead Planet]

Outcast for me.....

Yeah the European thrash bands are a bit more raw-sounding than the Americans. Maybe their last album "Enemy of God" is as good a place as any, but if you're expecting polished thrash then you might want to avoid Destruction/Kreator/Sodom etc...

 

P.s. If you want a really good recent Thrash album & you love early Metallica check out EVILE's "Enter the Grave" album. You'll love it!

[Metal T]

"Enemy Of God" .

[aMetalhead1966]

Outcast for me.....

Great one also!!

[Fat Freddy]

Never got whole hog into these guys (they were more my brother's thang)... they had a few decent songs here and there... I guess if I had to pick one I'd say "Extreme Aggression"

[Chris]

Don't like 'em.

[All Nights Reserved]

Extreme Aggressions

[RichieZ]

I have a few Kreator CDs, I really like "Pleasure To Kill" followed by "Coma Of Souls".

[Leykis101]

it takes a very special person to listen to endless pain, for me its Coma Of Souls, When The Sun Burns Red is far away the tightest jam they ever did, followed by World Beyond, what's the cd from 2005 like? are they still thrash?

[cdjunky41]

Short but sweet!

 

FLAG OF HATE!!!

Same here I love thrash but for some reason I never got into Kreator.

[stubul]

Endless Pain

 

Old school raw german thrash metal rules!

Oh I'm into Kreator now. I went with Coma Of Souls, I have to say everything up to Coma is just fantastic. Then they put out a few duds then came Violent Revolution...holy shit what a come back album.

[JamesEagle]

I've heard a few tracks here and there and on that basis I went for 'Coma of Souls'. It seems to have slightly more melody at times and plenty of variation, rather than the constant hundred miles per hour barrage of noise of some of their other stuff. Also, "When The Sun Burns Red" is easily the best track I've heard by the band; a storming tune.

[Guest aggelos978]

I think that ''the new ara'' of Kreator and talking about the period after Outcast and Endorama is preety good...

I mean they put aside the old 'raw' thrash sound (which I like too) and gave some modern appraoch of thrash metal in their sound.

At least they still kick ass after so many years...

Onslaught,Destruction and Artillery did release some very nice imo...

 

[Jim]

I went with Outcast. That album smokes!

[Nelson]

I've only heard Pleasure to Kill from this band and that's enough for me. I just cannot get past through the voice.

 

But the playing is awesome.
