Kreator
Gods of Violence
Thrash Metal
Kreator never got as much recognition as Metallica or Slayer when it came to metal, but they sure as hell should have. This German thrash group has been around since the early 80s, and have the massive catalog of albums to prove it.
That said, this album sounds exactly like how you'd expect a veteran group to sound when they decide to make a killer thrash metal album. It sounds fucking awesome. Gods Of violence isn't just some random title; the first song opens with a symphonic-like battle hymn to let you know right away what the theme of the album is going to be. Once they've introduced themselves, the band unleashes an epic journey of war, destruction and glory.
Though the intensity of the shredding guitars, pounding drums and screaming vocals may be pulverizing to the eardrums, Kreator have made an album that rewards close attention. There are some really good melodies underneath the crushing power. Besides this, many of the songs have some rather catchy hooks that stick with you, such as "Satan Is Real" or the title track.
If you're interested in owning a physical copy of the album. there are several packages to choose from the album's label "Nuclear Blast" official website. The music is available on cd or various colored vinyl. Certain packages include a dvd, a digibook and a t-shirt.
