KREATOR

KREATOR are a German thrash metal band from Essen, founded in 1984. One of the "Big Four" of German thrash, their "Pleasure to Kill" (1986) is one of the most extreme and influential thrash albums ever recorded. Throughout a career of remarkable longevity, they have evolved from raw, aggressive thrash into a more sophisticated but no less powerful political and socially engaged metal. Signed to Nuclear Blast, their recent run of acclaimed albums — "Phantom Antichrist", "Gods of Violence", "Hate Über Alles" — proves them still at the peak of their powers. KREATOR are a true legend.
