The most influential and successful of all European thrash metal bands (despite some competition from outfits such as Sodom, Destruction, and Tankard). Germany’s Kreator were still known as Tormentor when their first two demo tapes, one fittingly named Blitzkrieg (1983), and the other End of the World (1984), fell into the hands of thousands of heavy metal fans engaging in the era’s bustling underground tape-trading network. Positive word of mouth soon attracted the attention of Germany’s own metal start-up, Noise Records, which signed the newly re-christened Kreator to a deal and immediately put them to work on their first album. Recorded in just ten days at Berlin’s Musiclab Studios, 1985’s Endless Pain was a savage debut, but its crude thrashing quickly had the underground metal world abuzz with excitement. Endless Pain was recorded in March of 1985 and released in October of 1985. Between that time the band were doing a lot of rehearsals to be prepare to hit the road. This album features material from two recording sessions, one in April and the other one in September of 1985. If you thought Endless Pain sounded to clean why not give this one a try.
