The latest KREATOR album sees the German thrash kings delivering even more intense power than on their "Endless Pain" debut.

After a somewhat weak opening number "Ripping Corpse", the band unleash a merciless orgy of SLAYER inspired thrash. "Death Is Your Savior", "The Pestilence", "Riot Of Violence" and the excellent "Pleasure To Kill" are just some of the frenzied attacks guaranteed to wreck your brain.

Admittedly the lead soloing of Mille could be a lot better - all speed and lacking in feel and technique - but thrash fans will love every second of it.

Rating: 82/100
