One of the three leading German thrash metal bands, pioneers of the genre, they continue to be at the forefront of the scene in the 21st century. Albums like 'Endless Pain' (1985), 'Pleasure to Kill' (1986), and 'Terrible Certainty' (1987), which were the fastest and most brutal albums of their time, had an immeasurable influence on thrash metal, and later on death metal and black metal. However, even Kreator was forced to take a slight detour towards gothic metal during the dark ages of metal in the 1990s. It might be an exaggeration to call it a "wandering aimlessness," as it was apparently due to Mille Petrozza's personal preferences. The album being re-released is the 2001 masterpiece "Violent Revolution." This album, which marks the complete return of the band to thrash metal after their gothic period, holds great significance for them. With this album, which brilliantly fuses the brutality of the 80s with modern 21st-century production, they made their first chart appearance in Germany's Top 40. Sami Uli Sirgno, the guitarist of Waltari, who is still a key member of the band today, also joined them on this album. With this album, the band returned to the forefront of thrash metal. Includes a bonus disc with 17 live tracks recorded around the world! Also includes a translation of the insightful liner notes by the recently deceased Malcolm Doum.
