Formed in Essen, Germany in 1982, Kreator are arguably the most influential and successful European Thrash Metal band ever. Their sophomore album 'Pleasure To Kill' was released in 1986 by Noise Records and is rightly considered a Thrash metal classic. Included in this version is the 'Flag of Hate' EP. A landmark album in the history of Thrash Metal along with 'Master of Puppets' by Metallica, 'Reign in Blood' by Slayer and 'Darkness Descends' by Dark Angel, all released in 1986. - ..

Wild and slashing from the start, the speed, high energy abandon and zeal with which Kreator makes still, after 25 years, an all time favorite of mine.
