“Arguably the most influential and successful European thrash metal band despite some competition from outfits such as Sodom, Destruction and Tankard, Germany’s Kreator are by far the most enduring. Like many of their European speed metal brethren, Kreator fused the big four’s –Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer– thrash innovations with Venom’s proto-black metal imagery, sparked it with Motörhead’s balls-out velocity, and capped it off with the nihilistic outlook typical of heavy metal since the seminal days of Black Sabbath. Kreator’s career also mirrored speed metal’s rising and waning fortunes: building from strength to strength throughout the 1980s culminating in two now classic albums.” – All Music
