The German thrash metal pioneers Kreator took a monumental step in 1987 with their third album, 'Terrible Certainty'. The record marks a significant evolution in their sound, where the raw aggression of its predecessors is complemented by more complex song structures and technical riffs. The album solidified their position as one of the undisputed leaders within the European metal scene. Here, the band from Essen displays a ruthless precision that raised the standard for the genre at the time. This reissue celebrates the lasting impact of a key work in thrash history.
Musically, this album is a textbook example of Teutonic thrash metal. The sound is characterized by lightning-fast, tight guitar riffs, thundering drums, and the distinctive aggressive vocals of Mille Petrozza. The style is in the vein of bands like Sodom and Destruction, but with an increasing focus on technical refinement. Reissue of the 1987 album.
