Lyrics

Night is over
Now it’s dawn
Your final day
Has begun
Hear the steps
On the floor
Hear the sounds
Of the opened door
Too proud to scream
Too proud to beg for mercy
You will die by the executioner’s hand

Under The Guillotine

Tears are running
Down your cheeks
As you see
The axe of death
You were a prisoner
Didn’t care about the rules
Now it’s time
To pay for the fools

Rare Vinyl Kreator ‎Pleasure To Kill 1986

Pleasure to Kill is the second studio album by German thrash metal band Kreator, released in April 1986 by Noise Records.

By Megadeth, Reign in Blood by Slayer, Eternal Devastation by Destruction and Darkness Descends by Dark Angel, all released in 1986.

The album played a considerable role in the development of several extreme metal subgenres, and many death metal bands cite it as an influence.

Kreator – Extreme Aggression LP 1988 Epic – FE 45254

Extreme Aggression is the fourth studio album by German thrash metal band Kreator released in 1989. It was the first on a major label (Epic)

KREATOR WAS VOTED #3 ON METAL BANDS THAT SHOULD BEEN BIGGER

KREATOR’S 1989 “EXTEME AGRESSION” – Was It Awesome Or Did They Sell Out?

Extreme Aggression charted for the first time 28 years in 2017 after its release at number 90 on the German Charts. The remastered edition of the band’s 1986 album Pleasure to Kill charted on the same day.
Most American thrash fans became aware of Kreator through heavy rotation of the “Betrayer” on MTV’s Headbangers Ball.

Critical Response

Jason Anderson gave the album a rating of four-and-a-half stars out of five, and wrote, “The results are fierce and noisy on this 1989 Epic released — the first major-label effort for the band. Petrozza and Fioretti’s guitar work is as punchy as ever, and Reil’s massive drums are unrelenting and continually improving.”

Kreator – Endless Pain LP – Noise Records 1985 – Some Thing You Probably Didn’t Know!

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.
