I Kreator sono una band thrash metal tedesca nata nel 1982 con il nome Tyrant per poi cambiarlo in Tormentor. Nel 1985 cambiano di nuovo e così verranno conosciuti come Kreator. I componenti di questa band sono Miland "Mille" Petrozza come cantante e chitarrista, Rob Fioretti al basso e Jurgen "Ventor" Reil dietro le pelli. Questi sono influenzati dai Metallica e dagli Slayer, per quanto riguarda il thrash metal, e dai Venom per quanto riguarda l'heavy/black metal. Nello stesso anno pubblicano questo piccolo gioiello: "Endless Pain", un concentrato di thrash/black metal malvagio, grezzo e violento.
Ogni track è una perla di cattiveria grazie ai due cantanti Reil e Petrozza, il primo canta in growl molto "acerbo" e l'altro in scream e sembra il demonio in persona, ed è proprio per questo che l'album viene considerato (in parte) black metal, ma il suo canto è ancora immaturo. I riffs sono grezzi e violenti e gli assoli sono veloci e taglienti che ti rimangono impressi nella mente. La batteria la maggior parte delle volte è fuori tempo, in quel periodo Reil non era come oggi che è una macchina da guerra. Il basso qui, si sente solo "Storm of the Beast", e nelle altre canzoni non si sente quasi mai e qui probabilmente è colpa della produzione che è piuttosto scadente, perchè Rob Fioretti sembra che il basso da quella canzone in poi non l'abbia più suonato.
Come ho detto prima le dieci canzoni che sono presenti in quest'album sono aggressivi, veloci e violenti e... monolitiche, questo perchè non c'è molta tecnica e fantasia compositiva, e il sound è del tutto immaturo, però tutta quella carica mostruosa che emettono le canzoni ti trasportano nel mondo malato di Mille & Co., e degli esempi lampanti sono la title-track che è veloce e brutale, "Total Death", un pezzo grezzo aggressivo; inoltre, "Tormentor" è una delle migliori dell'album e sprigiona tutta la malvagità di Mille, poi c'è l'inno di battaglia "Flag of Hate" un pezzo a dir poco stupendo e infine c'è l'ottima "Living in Fear". Poi ci sono altre piccolo perle di violenza sonora e sono: "Storm of the Best", "Son of Evil", "Cry War", "Bone Breaker" e "Dying Victims".
In conclusione "Endless Pain" è un buon album che lo consiglio vivamente agli amanti del metal estremo, che ha ispirato Varg Vikernes (Burzum)... questo dovrebbe dire tutto. L'unico punto a sfavore è la produzione dell'album che è mediocre.
Elenco tracce e testi
01 Endless Pain (03:33)
You cry out the aggression that is in you everyday
You want to kill the enemies if they cross your way
In your heart is hate, terror is freezing your bones
The night is dark and you're all alone
The voices of hell sound so nice
Final death is the price
Can't wait much longer give them what they need
Burst down their heads spread hellish heat
Feel the endless pain
Locked in metal chains
Green and red monsters torment your mind
The power of death will destroy mankind
You die fast you won't feel much pain
But why you'll never know
It's a hellish game
The voices of hell sound so nice
Final death is the price
Can't wait much longer give them what they need
Burst down their heads spread hellish heat
Feel the endless pain
Locked in metal chains
02 Total Death (03:28)
Time has come the peace can't stand
Masters of the switch now rule the land
Push the switch and send out death
Politicians warpigs shit in head
Try to run or hide
From your death
You will burn and bleed
From your head
Total death!
No one escapes the burning flames
Flesh and skin decays from your face
Five megatons lie on every soul
Destroy the human race is their goal
Try to run or hide
From your death
You will burn and bleed
From your head
Total death!
03 Storm of the Beast (05:01)
Night is coming down
Fog is all around
The beast is leaving his bloody home
The smell of blood
Is in the air
People die if he wants throne
And they fall down, down of their knees
Mercy is a world that he don't know!
Storm of the beast,
Storm of the beast.
Storm of the beast,
Storm of the beast!
Locked up doors
Don't get out
The beast makes death like a game
He burst heads
Thrash all down
He destroys and feels ever the same
And they fall down, down of their knees
Mercy is a world that he don't know!
Storm of the beast,
Storm of the beast.
Storm of the beast,
Storm of the beast!
04 Tormentor (02:55)
Riding in darkness through the hell of the night
Give all your torment to the heaven's might
In the name of satan spread all your fear
You feel his anger you know he's near
Casting a spell
Lord of all hells
Ripping the angels
God has fell
Tormentor!
Baphomet's calling death is now real
Helldogs and demons waiting to kill
Pentagrams shining Luzifer smiles
Fucking the virgin rip out her eyes
Drinking the blood
Fear no god
Now you are dead
Your flesh is dot rot
Tormentor!
05 Son of Evil (04:16)
Masquarade as he rides through the night
Blitzkrieg torture blade shining bright
In his eyes dreams of pain
As he kills the lovely shame
Messengers from fiery will
Speaking out what no one will
Violence for the virgin
Death falls from his bloody skin
Deny the father, deny the mother
Burning the sister, poison the brother
Sworn to take lives with weapons of death
In his hands...
Born in the demonic rooms of hate
Torture is in his eyes like a glowing blade
Inhuman soul like an animal beast
The blood of Jesus one thousend people fall the priest
Son of evil!
Awake to bring the neverending end
Kreator of demons and monsters command
Ruler of the darkness that is his kingdom
Equal as the blood death will make it all his own
Born in the demonic rooms of hate
Torture is in his eyes like a glowing blade
Inhuman soul like an animal beast
The blood of Jesus one thousend people fall the priest
Son of evil!!!
06 Flag of Hate (04:42)
Dark shadows lie over the city
Tonight someone will die, you can hear
Some painful scream the air is full of flies
The mayhemic legions are ready
to steal the human souls
Come into my vault and do what you've been told
I'll eat your intensities no matter
if you pray or please
I'll bring you down to your knees
Tonight you're gonna meet your fate
You'll try to run but it's too late
I am here to liquidate
[Chorus]
Time to rise your Flag of Hate
Destroy the world is our only aim
To strike'em down is the only way
To make'em dead and make'em pay
The gallow of the underground
snipers on the sea of blood
All what we want is to crucify your "God"
The posers on this Earth have no right to live
We gonna spit their brains torture
is what we give
07 Cry War (03:45)
All night you can feel all the blood it runs
Dying from the death of the machine gun
Crying on a field without mercy
Death in your eyes you have never seen
Torment all the priests on earth
Quarter all the enemies tonight
Nail all their corpses to the cross
Choose the dirty laughing from your face
Cry war
Flashlight is taking all the flash from your face
Torture feels like the fastest black race
Dying everyday it is the same
Laughing about the corpses in this game
08 Bone Breaker (02:58)
He bursts their heads till they die
You feel so mad you're feeling so high
He arrives he's sent from hell
Running wild by the sound of the bell
Bonebreaker he takes your life
Bonebreaker he eats out your heart
Bonebreaker he is your death
Bonebreaker
Tonight you'll beat 'em down
Tear to shreds and shoot 'em down
When he's down you've got the right feel
He bursts your head with his blade of steel
09 Living in Fear (03:12)
Endless destruction
Blood falls like rain
The war of the demons
Will give you pain
Inverted crosses
The reaper will rise
The war of the demons
Will make you die
I'll take you down into my grave
I'll rip your flesh and torment your face
Your cry in the night none will hear
It's time to die you're living in fear
Fight with the mortals
Death is their goal
Eating the corpses
And sell all their souls
Obey the commands
Of the black majesty
You know your soul
Will never be free
10 Dying Victims (04:47)
Creeping through the shadows
as the war of death begins
No one ever saw before the destruction he brings
He is the destroyer all
he brings is fear and pain
When your body is dead he's gonna
make you scream again
Scream for your lives no one will hear you
Scream for your god, he is dead
Creep across the field all you can see
Are dying victims
Now he is over, you can feel
his cold breath in your back
The axe is shining in
his hand he is ready to attack
Now you can see the hand of doom
is looming over you
The invader will split your head in two
Sounds of battle, sounds of death
Sounds of hellish pain
Sounds of Metal, heat in head
The fall of your domain

Endless Pain fa partire il massacro proprio con la title-track, dove le urla lancinanti di un Ventor più cattivo che mai danno il via alla demolizione dei nostri timpani!!!!!
"Flag Of Hate" rappresenta un autentico inno per i thrashers di tutto il mondo: it’s time to raise the flag of hate!!!!!!!!!!!!
