Additional info
Released on Noise Records.
"Choir of the Damned" is extended on the CD version (the running time listed is this version). The version on the LP is about a minute shorter and is missing the harmonised prelude from the CD version.
Reissues have the Flag of Hate EP as bonus tracks, mostly the three song version. The six track version is less common.
There is also a picture disc version of this album, called After the Attack with the new title track as song 10.

Don't tell me you haven't listened to Kreator before. We all know this amazing thrash metal band. For many, they are the greatest German thrash metal band, when many others believe they are the best trash metal band ever. But if we take a look on their past albums, we can see they are one of the first bands (along with others, such as Possesed, Venom, etc) who played that thrash/death style which helped so much in the pioneering of death metal. Pleasure To Kill was their trademark album in that period before they turned into a pure thrash metal style. This album was a great influence for many future thrash and death metal bands.

One of the few times when music actually scared me and make me sick to my stomach.

This is a great album, no doubt but I somehow prefer "Extreme Aggression" more than this one. The sound on that one was much more sinister and evil. But nonetheless, this is a great album in its own right.

Aside from their career best "Coma Of Souls", this is my fave Kreator album. (though it is very close between this one and "Terrible Certainty" for my 2nd fave!) The intensity is very high, and has almost a death metal feel in places. It's a bit like the debut, just even more ferocious, and the songwriting quality is overall better and more consistent. Awesome stuff. xD

Written by Angelic Storm on 25.02.2011 at 20:46 That's pretty much how I see the album myself.

My only problem with this album is the drum production. They're to loud!  Other than that, this album is about as good as thrash gets.

Written by [user id=111774] on 16.04.2011 at 09:30 Funny, because loud drums are a thing I absolutely hate in metal and the drums never bothered me on PTK. If you want to hear music with drums way too loud, on top of everything and drowning everything else, just listen to Powermetal. Damn I hate drums in Powermetal. Drums on PTK are fine, imo.

Written by I Eat God on 07.01.2012 at 11:34 Started with "Coma Of Souls"? Are you aware that after "Coma Of Souls", Kreator released "Renewal", a stinking pile of shit? After "Coma Of Souls", Kreator took a downward spiral and sucked for an entire decade.

Written by I Eat God on 07.01.2012 at 18:30 I agree about "Coma Of Souls" being at their peak, even if I consider all the 80s albums as great. I don't share your opinion about "Violent Revolution". Imo, it's a good album. Not as good as "Enemy Of God" but better than "Hordes Of Chaos". As for the stuff before "Coma Of Souls" being outdated, I would not go that far but it obviously sounds old and primitive, especially "Endless Pain" and "Pleasure To Kill". They were very young at that time and it shows.

Written by I Eat God on 07.01.2012 at 19:41 I have both. In fact, I have all old Kreator albums (until "Coma Of Souls" included) + all their new albums since "Violent Revolution". "Hordes Of Chaos" is not a bad album but vocals are not the best. Also, lyrics are poor (Kreator can do much better than that) and choruses repeating the same lines over and over are a bit dumb.

Written by musicalkaratekid on 23.01.2012 at 03:57 There's no blastbeat on "Pleasure To Kill". It's standard beats played very fast, just like old Slayer. People often confuse very fast skank beats and blastbeats because both can sound almost the same but the technique used by the drummer is different.

Written by [user id=4365] on 08.10.2014 at 14:28 It is indeed more inclined towards black and death metal than thrash. The vocals are very harsh and the production make it really dark and murky. I don't know about De Mysteriis though I can really see how an early DM album like Scream Bloody Gore could've evolved from this as that is the album most similar sounding in my memory to this.
