Kreator

Encyclopedia : K : KR : KRE : Kreator

Kreator is a popular thrash metal band from Essen, Germany. They originally started under the name Tormentor. Starting their career in 1982, they played thrash metal with heavy Slayer and Venom influences. Their style of music is similar to their compatriots Destruction and Sodom. They differ from the Bay Area thrashers in their brutality and speed.

Kreator's work has been consistently in the vein of pure thrash, with the exception of three albums during the 1990s when they undertook serious experimentation. Incorporating industrial, goth and avant-garde elements into their sound, the results were uneven.
