Kreator - Release a limited edition vinyl for 'After the Attack'
Classic Thrash / Death Metal from Germany
Formed in Essen, Germany in 1982, Kreator are arguably the most influential and successful European Thrash Metal band ever. Like many of their European speed Metal brethren, Kreator fused Metallica's Thrash innovations with Venom's proto Black Metal imagery. Often referred to as one of the "Big 4" of Teutonic Thrash Metal, and they are often credited with helping pioneer Death Metal and Black Metal by containing several elements of what was to become those genres.
The band has achieved Worldwide sales of over two million units for combined sales of all their albums, making them one of the best selling German Thrash Metal bands of all time. The band's style has changed several times over the years, from a Venom inspired Speed Metal sound, later moving in to Thrash Metal, and including a period of transitioning from Thrash to Industrial Metal and Gothic Metal throughout the 1990's.
In the early 2000's Kreator returned to their classic Thrash sound, which has continued to the present. This is a replica of an original Noise Records picture disc from 1987 that was a limited edition version of their classic second album 'Pleasure to Kill' with a rare bonus track added to it.
