KREATOR ENDLESS PAIN LP 1985

Endless Pain was the debut LP by German thrash metal legends Kreator. The production on the original was very raw and unpolished. The band was obviously very young and clearly imitating other early extreme metal bands like Venom.

Endless Pain was released in 1985 on Noise Records.
Millie Petrozza and Ventor are both “lead singers” on the album.
The album is classified as black metal or thrash metal, as it combines elements of both, along with the sloppiness and aggression of early punk and hardcore.

Endless Pain Jacket, Vinyl, and Artwork

The retro popularity of the album, along with the rebound in interest in thrash metal vinyl, makes Endless Pain a frequent target of bootleggers, as there are several “unofficial” versions out there, none of which the band receives royalties from. This is what the art should look like.
