"Violent Revolution" is a landmark LP by the legendary German thrash metal band Kreator, released under the renowned label Nuclear Blast. This album marked a triumphant return to form for Kreator in 2001, blending their classic aggressive sound with melodic elements that revitalized their style and won over both old fans and new listeners worldwide. Featuring powerful tracks like "Reconquering the Throne," "All of the Same Blood," and the title track "Violent Revolution," this record showcases Mille Petrozza's intense vocals and razor-sharp guitar work alongside relentless drumming. Kreator, formed in Essen in 1982, are considered pioneers of European thrash metal; they have influenced countless bands globally with albums such as "Pleasure to Kill" and "Extreme Aggression." Their consistent innovation has earned them critical acclaim and a loyal international following. The manufacturer, Nuclear Blast, stands as one of the world's leading heavy metal labels since its founding in 1987?renowned for supporting top-tier acts across various subgenres of metal.
When you listen to this album it explodes with Reconquering the Throne, full of brutality as any good metal song should be. Next we have the Patriarch which leads into the title track, Violent Revolution. This track has some of the best lyrics I've heard and that's partly why I love thrash metal the lyrical themes are too serious that for almost any other genre of music to touch on would just look weird and out of place.
