A brutal, uncompromising thrash metal classic September 20, 2003
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This is one of the most savage, intense thrash/death metal albums ever recorded. Like a hateful, twisted version of 'Reign in Blood'-era Slayer, this record is also notable for having been a big influence on early Sepultura records like 'Schizophrenia' and 'Beneath the Remains'. The vocals are vicious, feral barks of raw power, the guitars buzz and grate like the fires of hell and the drums are frenetic and thunderous. The production isn't great, but in a funny sort of way this enhances the music, as it makes it more raw and aggressive sounding. Buy this now if you are a fan of Slayer, old-style Sepultura or Morbid Angel, and get headbanging to some vintage ferocious German thrash!!
an essential album of the genre and group January 3, 2002
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This album is an example of a band being totally 'in the mode'...compare Master Of Puppets, Reign In Blood, Dimension Hatross, To Mega Therion etc etc. Kreator, in my opinion did not maintain the absolute power and aggression [not to mention the uniqueness] on future releases, save for the Flag Of Hate ep, and it's a shame...this album was just a total visceral attack!New [conservative] listeners may be put off by Ventor's unusual drumming style and by Harris Johns' production, but must consider the whole amazing picture, and further listens will reward, especially in the department of Mille's excellent guitar. EVERY track is astounding, but the favourite [arguably] at the time was the massive 'Riot Of Violence'. I'd also recommend the [often neglected and disliked] Persecution Mania by Sodom, and Under The Sign Of The Black Mark by Bathory for a faceful of that classic cold Euro thrash sound. Hail! c a r t h a g e
An eighties thrashmetal masterpiece! January 1, 2001
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Do you consider your metal collection complete without owning "Pleasure to kill?" I'm afraid it's very much not so...With not-so-good production, growling vocals, frantic drumming and intense riffing, Kreator had all the trade-marks of the new breed of extreme metal bands of the late eighties. But in spite of technical shortcomings and average musicianship "Pleasure to kill" today ranks as one of my favorite thrash-albums. The reason is of course the quality of the songs. The song structures are traditional, but with frequent riff changes which alternates between staccato and more groovy "melody"-lines. With memorable riffs, horrendously violent lyrics and a young band full of enthusianism, this is a must-buy-product from one of the better german bands ever. Check out songs like "Death is your saviour", "Under the guillotine" and the classic title track!
