Kreator

Kreator Merch

Kreator is the name when it comes to German thrash metal. Founded in 1982 in Essen under the name Tyrant, the band launched a remarkable career in 1984 with their current name. Alongside Sodom, Destruction, and Tankard, they are part of the Teutonic 4 and are their biggest and most popular representative.

A Career in Albums

The first major highlight in the band's career was the release and aftermath of their second album, PLEASURE TO KILL, in 1986. They toured the USA with this album, even though the members were under 20 years old at the time. The iconic album is still considered one of the most famous, rawest, and most brutal thrash metal albums and marked the beginning of Kreator's cult status. In the 1990s, the band experimented with emerging genres like nu-metal and industrial metal, which alienated many fans. The albums OUTCAST, RENEWAL, and ENDORAMA are still controversial and often lead to heated discussions among the band's fans. Kreator celebrated their comeback in the new millennium. With VIOLENT REVOLUTION, they returned to their strengths and experienced new career highlights that continue to this day.
