Title: Kreator

This is perhaps the most underrated thrash band of all time. In 1986, they put out Pleasure To Kill, probably the only album that surpassed Reign In Blood's heaviness. While definitely thashy, it's arguably an early death metal album, due to its rhythmic complexity and heavy atmosphere. It's the missing link between Seven Churchs and Scream Bloody Gore, but while the other two are noted for historical importance, Pleasure to Kill is musically very strong, as well.

Kreator's best albums are those up to and including Coma of Souls. Their latest album, Enemy of God, has mixed reviews, but is their best in a long time, and the band will hopefully return to making masterpieces. They were one of the few bands that resisted the urge to commercialize the thrash sound after Master of Puppet's success, and are a great example of a band standing behind its sound, not what its label wants.

Enemy of God is an exceptional thrash album... I play that one right along side of Reign In Blood, Kill Em All, and Bonded By Blood... its that good.

Enemy Of God is very good, especially considering they've been around for so long.
