Status:Active

Years active: 1982 (as Tyrant), 1982-1984 (as Tormentor), 1984-present

Once known as Tormentor, and before that as Tyrant, Kreator rose to prominence in the mid-eighties, joining Sodom and Destruction as the top-ranked German thrash bands of the decade. While albums such as Pleasure To Kill ruled the scene, the nineties found their popularity waning a bit, as albums such as the industrial-tinged Renewal* in 1992 and *Endorama in 1998, met with some critical acclaim but not commercial success, hardened fans seeming to have become disillusioned with straying from the raw, frenetic thrash of their earlier days. But founder Mille Petrozza forged on, and in the new millennium things turned around, with a new lineup in place and renewed vigor and aggression on display on 2001's Violent Revolution, the first of several albums in the 2000's that have found Kreator regaining its place among thrash's elite.
