TRACK LISTING:

Kreator formed as Tyrant in 1982 in Essen, Germany. The original lineup featured vocalist/guitarist Mille Petrozza, drummer Jürgen 'Ventor' Reil, and bassist Rob Fioretti. They soon changed their name to Tormentor and released two demos. They changed the name of the band again to the final one, Kreator and signed to Noise Records in 1985. The name change came from the label, as there already was a band by the name Tormentor from Hungary.

Kreator recorded their debut album, Endless Pain, in just 10 days. Many black and death metal bands consider it to be a very influential release.[citation needed] The band hired the late Sodom guitarist Michael Wulf for the album's tour.

Wulf was in the band for a few days and didn't play on the band's next album, 1986's Pleasure to Kill, despite his getting credit. A new guitarist, Jörg "Tritze" Trzebiatowski joined the band and he played on this album, which is widely considered a thrash classic.[4][5][6] Produced by Harris Johns (Helloween, Voivod), it is arguably one of the heaviest, fastest albums in metal, while showing the band growing in talent and technical ability. The song "Flag of Hate" became an early hit, and the band became one of the most promising up-and-coming European metal acts. With Tritze the band started their first tour ever (before the release of Pleasure to Kill they had only played 5 gigs total). The band closed out the year with their first EP, Flag of Hate.

Kreator's lyrical themes follow those found on their first album Endless Pain. Many death metal bands cite this album as an influence.

1. "Choir of the Damned (Intro)"
2. "Ripping Corpse"
3. "Death Is Your Saviour"
4. "Pleasure to Kill"
5. "Riot of Violence"
6. "The Pestilence"
7. "Carrion"
8. "Command of the Blade"
9. "Under the Guillotine"
