Artist Kreator

German band Kreator helped define what it meant to be thrash-metal in the ’80s with very loud, very fast, very brutal albums like Pleasure To Kill and Terrible Certainty. The years since have found them sometime branching out into different realms like industrial with less success, but Kreator still rips when in its fast metal wheelhouse. The group's 2009 album is called Hordes Of Chaos, though its title song adds a nice parenthetical: "Hordes Of Chaos (A Necrologue For The Elite)."
