Album Of The Day: Kreator – Pleasure To Kill

Kreator – Pleasure To Kill (Noise Records 1986 – 2017 Reissue)

Today I’m indulging in one of my favourite extreme metal classics: Kreator’s Pleasure To Kill. This 1986 album is obsessed with the various ways one might meet an end (whether it’s death by the blade, an axe in the back or a ripping corpse attack). It’s a masterpiece of thrash but such a raw, violent and bloodthirsty one that it also satisfies a craving for death and black metal. And it’s strewn with absolute classics: unforgettable bangers like the title track, Riot Of Violence and Under The Guillotine. Pleasure To Kill is the kind of bullet-belted lunacy that makes you feel glad to be alive.

  1. I’m passing through Frankfurt airport. I reread your K, PTK post and gave the title track a try. Yeah, it can bring out the heavy metal maniac in me. Great drum rolls and fast aggression. I bet Fenriz, who I think, sported the album art on his jacket at one point, likes the drums. But, the whole band sounds united in fury.

    Gotta go. Thanx for the moment.
