I’m a 68 model and have been into Kreator since day one,I even had/listen to the Tormentor demos before that as a tape traitor.Probably seen them live 10 times +. I like your list but I will advise you to give Renewel more time I think you haven’t got into it enough,it’s without doubt one of the best kreator albums but maybe the hardest to get into.My favourite album is Endless Pain it has always been and will always be 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey Darcy, Great Job! Love KREATOR & I too got into KREATOR later in life 2014. I love newer KREATOR just as much as the old stuff. Gotta give their middle catalog more listening 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
My ranking for the Kreator albums would be🤘 15. Cause For Conflict 1995 14. Renewal 1992 13. Endorama 1999 12. Outcast 1997 11. Endless Pain 1985 10. Hate Uber Alles 2022 9. Violent Revolution 2001 8. Phantom Antichrist 2012 7. Gods Of Violence 2017 6. Terrible Certainty 1987 5. Hordes Of Chaos 2009 4. Enemy Of God 2005 3. Pleasure To Kill 1986 2. Extreme Aggression 1989 1. Coma Of Souls 1990
ENDLESS PAIN has some sort of serious developmental significance in the history of "Extreme metal". I cant say for sure exactly what it is, but play that next to HELL AWAITS and MORBID VISIONS. It holds up real well, a definate contender. And these were teenage kids. It is often overlooked in favor of the next one and a few others, but I think its very special.
‘Kreator’ were definitely a seriously aggressive sounding Thrash Metal band compared to the Bay Area boys! I think they probably scared a few people away back in the day, lol! I think that how & when someone discovers a band definitely dictates where albums fall in a persons ranking! Great job as always my friend… & good to see you Darcy!🤘🏻
I got used to "Endorama" only in the last few years. Kreator were supporting Paradise Lost before recording "Endorama", so, not a bad guess, Darcy! Destruction ranking tomorrow on the "Matallurgy" channel!
I never listened to Kreator before, but after stumbling upon your channel and watching this video, I gave them a shot. It's all I've been listening to for the last few days.
Oh that’s great to hear! What stands out for you, the newer or older stuff? A lot of newer fans really enjoy 2001 to today, I like a mix of both as you know. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment 🤘 Cheers from Canada
So far it's Phantom Antichrist, Violent Revolution, and Hate Uber Alles. I haven't ventured deeper into the discography yet. I just ordered som cd's and vinyl because I'm tired of trying to play Kreator on my Alexa speaker only to have it start playing Tyler The Creator.
I got into Kreator when I saw the Video for Toxic Trace on the Power Hour when my family moved back to Canada from West Germany in '88. I couldn't find any Kreator albums at the K-mart(the only place) in Shithole Ontario (Trenton) until a year later when Extreme Aggression came out. It's my fave, then Terrible Certainty, Coma of Souls and my favorite of the new era Hordes of Chaos. I love the live feel of that one. Nice ranking Darcy.
Great video Darcy! Love Kreator. I know it’s not an LP but Out of the Dark…Into the Light is killer. It’s the first album I bought of theirs and I was hooked from the first track. Lambs to the Slaughter is an awesome cover too!
Extreme Aggression Pleasure to Kill Phantom Antichrist Enemy of God Hordes of Chaos Been a fan since 1986. Have seen Kreator 10 times since 1991. Slayer 11 times and Testament 10 times. I bought the Phantom Antichrist cd/ dvd because it was filmed at Wacken Open Air 2011, and I was there. 🤘
Saw them last year with Megadeth and Sacred Reich. Amazing show, it was my first concert. 1. Pleasure to Kill 2. Terrible Certainty 3. Extreme Aggression 4. Endless Pain 5. Coma of Souls 6. Violent Revolution 7. Enemy of God 8. Gods of Violence 9. Hate Über Alles 10. Phantom Antichrist 11. Hordes of Chaos 12. Cause for Conflict 13. Renewal 14. Outcast 15. Endorama
You nailed the top 5. I was very surprised how low he ranked those top two. Two of the best thrash albums ever! The latest one ahead of a classic like Terrible Certainty? Not even close to me but we all hear things differently
Sad to see Endless Pain so low because it is probably my favorite. Always between that one and Phantom Antichrist. I kinda hate their 90's stuff but because I just love the band so much I do listen to everything.
Those bottom 3 nineties albums I used to own on vinyl but after digesting them a bit more I sold them as I know that they probably won’t be spun again any time soon. Endless Pain would be top end for me. Cool to see your collection of Kreator again mate.
Hi Darcy. Thanks again for this ranking video, I agree with all of it 😀 As you said, even the 90s records are growers to this day. Not a bad album til now at all. Will see them with Anthrax and Testament in Germany in December 🤘🏻Have a heavy Weekend
Oh man I’d love to see that show! Hopefully Anthrax has a new album out by then, 8 years already … come on! A Heavy weekend is all I know lol 🤘 Cheers my friend :))
Great ranking. I like all eras of Kreator. Extreme Aggression was my introduction to the band back in 1989, watched them live in a small club on that tour. Frank Blackfire had joined on guitar by then, great gig. Lost touch with them after Coma Of Souls but was delighted when I rediscovered them years later. Love all the albums from Violent Revolution onwards. Those 90s albums are still good even though I rank them low. 1. Phantom Antichrist 2. Extreme Aggression 3. Violent Revolution 4. Enemy Of God 5. Gods Of Violence 6. Hate Uber Alles 7. Coma Of Souls 8. Pleasure To Kill 9. Terrible Certainty 10.Hordes Of Chaos 11.Outcast 12.Cause For Conflict 13.Endless Pain 14. Renewal 15.Endorama
Like you, I'm late to Kreator and only recently bought them all. My favorite is Gods of Vilolence. I would actually rank Renewal and Endorama higher, but not sure about the discography overall ranking order for me. I do like later a lot better than early albums
Awesome ranking! Im like you in that i only got into kreator very recently. 2019 for me specifically. Though iv only had 5 years with kreator they’ve quickly become one of my absolute favourite thrash bands. I view them in the same way i view slayer. I love there first 5 albums. I dont listen to/like there 90’s era. But they put out some absolute banger albums post 2000. Overall though awesome band. One of the best thrashers and would easily be in my personal big 4 or big 5.
Definitely in my Big 4, along with Overkill, Testament & Sodom. Good to hear that you’re a big Kreator fan too! Have a great holiday weekend 🤘 Enjoy that movie ha ha
Thanks Darcy I need to check these out I already checked out Sodom and I like some of their stuff. But I'm not familiar with these. I heard some of pleasure to kill but the vocals were too rough for me, i need to check out your top five as u say the vocals are not so rough as on a pleasure to kill.
Great re-ranking Darcy even though for me Endless Pain and a couple others I'd have ranked higher. I first came across Kreator in 1996 when I found Coma Of Souls on cassette for just a dollar at a pawn shop. I'll have to put Kreator on my list because I'm Bringing album rankings back to my channel.
Kreator Kreator Kreator Awesome ranking brother. I’ve always tried to figure out a ranking on these. So hard. Been with them since 86 then became my all time favourite in 89 still to this day. Man wish you could of made it to Toronto last June for klash of the titans. Was amazing getting to see them again. Had only seen them one time before in 2001. Sadly no one comes east of Quebec lol. Rarely anyway.
Hey brother nice to hear from you! I just woke up, coffee is on & the new Rage is on the headphones, my cd copy is on the way. Kreator rules ha ha 🤘 Have a great Easter weekend 🐰
Love to see your enthousiasm for this band. I like a few songs from this band, especcialy live. But I don't own one album from them. I must be in the mood for trash metal. But what they do is very good.
I discovered your channel with your first Kreator ranking. I was trying to find some new to me bands to check out. It’s amazing how one video can have such an impact. Not just the great new music to discover, it also led to creating my own content and making some new friends. Thanks for what you do sir, greatly appreciate it!
Just at the beginning my thoughts are, That Sodom album in the background is awesome! I'm not a fan of Destruction. I didn't think much of Kreator's early work, and I like later stuff a lot more than things in their early years... and I'm only 5 minutes into your video.
Discovered Kreator in 2006, shortly after Enemy of God was out. I love their modern stuff, but those first 5 albums are just so fucking good. Coma of Souls has always been my favorite, just slightly over Pleasure to Kill.
I love Coma Of Souls too! I’m finally going to get to see them live this September, can’t wait! I hope you’re having a great weekend 🤘 Hail To The Hordes :))
Great video again me ode, been with Kreator since i ordered Endless Pain by them 'blind' in the mid 80s, Noise had pictures of their other albums on the inner sleeves most of the time so i used to pick 3 or 4 of them a month. You could only get them on import in the UK at the time, they cost me £5.99 each, which was quite a bit more expensive than UK released albums but the music was unbelievable and definitely worth it. So many of those bands on the Noise label in the 80s are still among may favs today. When i got Endless Pain, i couldn't believe how heavy and mind blowing it was, all my mates hated it but i loved it. looking forward to your destruction and sodom rankings dude.
Interesting ranking Darcy. 3 years later and i still don't own Pleasure To Kill. Don't ask me why, as i have no clue. I should add it to my next order. Invincible Shield just arrived. Awesome album. Happy Easter my friend.
Coma Of Souls is my favorite with Extreme Aggression being my second favorite. Outcast might be at the bottom for me but my mind could change on that at any time. It was cool to meet them and Sepultura last year. Great live.
Great review Darcy! A great band with a great diversified catatog. I had a chance to discover them already in 1989 (with "Some Pain Will Last" live on a German tv channel) and I was hooked. Even if, as you, the vocals annoyed me at first ;-) My top 5 would be Endorama Extreme Aggession Outcast Pleasure to Kill Phantom Antichrist I get the point about some not liking Endorama ... and I consider it almost as a CORONER album (Tommy Vetterli' previous group) with Mille Petrozza singing on it. By the way, I would love to listen your review of CORONER's discography, as this extraordinary group remains in my TOP 3 since 1987 (not only Thrash but music in general).
In the beginning I was led to believe Endorama was bottom of the barrel Kreator, that is definitely not the case! I’m still missing a couple Coroner albums, hopefully I will pick those up soon. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Cheers David
Great ranking. When i first heard Endless Pain, it blew me away. I was listening to Slayer at the time, but these guys sounded more bad ass, especially the first two albums. At the time, i didn't rally know what black or death metal was. I just liked the rawness and loved Mille's vocals. The 80s output was amazing. 90s stuff, they did drop off a bit. I do agree that Endorama is under rated. But they returned to form big time. Love their last few albums. Dont mind the catchy choruses at all. I think i would rank Phantom Antichrist a little higher than you. My favourite album is Enemy of God. Have to say, i play Kreator more than any other thrash band. Just love the aggression and brutality.
First off I like Endorama is it Pleasure to Kill no but it’s a good album that I play often. Got into them when flag of hate ep came out. Then saw them live may of 87 opening for Voivod for Killing Technology. Great ranking making me want to jam some Kreator now. 🤘
Great Kreator ranking Darcy! Kreator are a band I've only gotten into over the last few years, at first I wasn't sure if I would like them but they're a cool band! Their modern stuff is hit and miss for me, there's songs I like but also songs that do nothing for me. The first 2 albums I struggled with, but not because of the extreme sound, the production was my problem. I'll have to check them out properly though. The 90's albums for the most part I'm not interested in honestly, but one day I might check them out. My personal favourite era of the band is Terrible certainty - Coma of souls, reason being it's closest sounding to Bay Area Thrash, which is my favourite Thrash style. I really wanna pick up those albums, great video man! 😊🤘🏻🤘🏻
As you probably know I’m big fan of Bay Area Trash too, but I’m also a fan of bands changing things up! I hope you pick up the ones you want, can’t go wrong with those! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers Josh
@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Yeah, Bay Area Thrash is awesome! Ah ok that's fair enough, sometimes bands change and it works for the better, sometimes not so! But yeah, I need to listen to them more, there's a lot of albums I haven't listened to yet! Thanks man, I'll try to pick up Terrible certainty and Extreme Aggression this year if I can. They're my favourite easily! You're welcome mate 😊🤘🏻
I listened Kreator already in the late 80's. When Coma of Souls was released, I was disappointed, so I stopped buying their albums. I bought Enemy of God, because the title track was good, and it's pretty good album overall. I like Coma of Souls a bit more now that I used to. 1. Extreme Aggressions 2. Endless Pain 3.Terrible Certainty 4. Pleasure To Kill 5. Enemy of God 6. Coma of Souls
1. Pleasure to Kill 2. Endless Pain 3.Terrible Certainty 4. Extreme Aggression 5. Coma of Souls 6. Cause for Conflict 7. Violent Revolution 8. Hordes of Chaos 9. Phantom Antichrist 10. Hate Über Alles 11. Gods of Violence 12. Enemy of God 13. Renewal 14. Outcast 15. Endorama
Hi Darcy!!! i think we share some very similar experiences with Kreator back in the day, maybe the vocals were to harsh and agressive for my taste, of course i knew about them and remember the logo everywhere. It's cool to see a new release so high on the list... i really have a lot of homework to do adding their stuff to my collection, but it's nice to see that the newer stuff is also worth checking with their classic albums. cheers and be well
Hi Darcy great video love this band got a few of them myself have you got any live stuff I would recommend them especially love at the roundhouse awesome one that
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 '89 when Extreme Aggression came out. I actually went to see a friend's band play in Atlanta one weekend and by chance they were opening for Morgoth and Kreator, turned out to be the Extreme Aggression tour and I was hooked after the show so I checked them out.
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493in '89, went to see a friend's band play in Atlanta and turned they were opening for Kreator at the masquerade it was the tour for Extreme Aggression.
Wow I love the love enemy of god gets here! It is a killer record. Coma of souls might be my number 1, but extreme agression is a thrashterpiece. Hate Uber alles sits nicely here also. I think gods violence is stronger also. But overall such a strong discography, and your right, they belong in the conversation with the thrash greats. And so does destruction!! Great ranking brother . Stay heavy.🤟
You should tune into Heavy Metallürgy tomorrow, Jürgen is on with the guys ranking the Destruction discography! I’m definitely looking forward to that one! Have a great Easter weekend brother 🤘
I bought Coma of Souls, back 1990, when I was 16., became a fan instantly... I lost track a bit of the Band with Renewal, and I rediscovered the Band with Hordes of Chaos. Still, Coma of Souls and Extreme Aggression remain my favorite Album. I don't have Endorama, but I have to check it out. Great Ranking again, Darcy! For me, Hate über Alles is a bit high in the ranking (not a bad Album), but that is just personal taste. Stay heavy🤘
I had this preconceived notion that I’m supposed to hate Endorama, not the case! I played the crap out of Hate Über Alles in 2022, that & Megadeth The Sick, The Dying … And The Dead! Thanks as always for the positive vibes 🤘 Cheers my friend
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I was ok with both the recent Albums of Kreator and Megadeth, but I die not play them to Death, unlike the new Priest Album.... So, I will get Endorama and give it a try... Happy and heavy Easter 🤘
Glad to see I'm not alone with having the debut a little low. 1. Terrible Certainty 2. Pleasure To Kill 3. Coma Of Souls 4. Extreme Aggression 5. Enemy Of God 6. Phantom Antichrist 7. Hordes Of Chaos 8. Hate Uber Alles 9. Violent Revolution 10. Gods Of Violence 11. Cause For Conflict 12. Endless Pain 13. Endorama 14. Outcast 15. Renewal Just curious if you're familiar with the band Mezzrow? Considering how much you love Testament, I'd be shocked if you didn’t like them. Cheers Darcy!!
It’s definitely not because Endless Pain is bad, we just like other albums better lol. I think I’ve only heard Mezzrow’s older album, not the newest one, I’ll check it out! Cheers to you too Mr.D 🤘 Have a great weekend :))
Remember loving Kreator because my older brother bought the albums up until 89 then death/black metal hit here in Sweden so Renewal was one of this wierd album no one listened to or ever bought much the like their 95 release
@petegreenfield3645 Possibly. My thing is Overkill has been purting out consistently great metal. Exodus has had 2 good albums since Tempo. Just my humble opinion. 🤘
You've got me baffled. Endless Pain so similar to Pleasure to Kill but so far apart? What makes one so much better than the other for you? Marty took a chunk out of Extreme Aggression when he said about them trying to sound like Testament. Its hard to unhear that now. Enemy of God is definitely the most complete album for me. My entry point was Terrible Certainty. For me they have awesome songs on every album and dross on every album apart from Enemy... I didn't know about the box set you mentioned. So are you saying its a 2 album box set? I hope i heard that wrongly lol
Yes it’s a 2 album box set, not sure why they paired them together! I’m sure everything will be available separately at some point. I think for me a lot of it has to do with the order that I heard them for the first time, not much separating some of these albums. Have a good holiday mate 🤘
Great band that I've been listening to since Terrible Certainty. My top 5 1. Extreme Aggression 2. Terrible Certainty 3. Pleasure to Kill 4. Coma of Souls 5. Endless Pain Not a huge fan of the rest. They are ok. I find their recent album boring & a bit to melodic compared to the era I enjoy. What about a Destruction album ranking. I'm not sure if you have done one before. I agree out of all the most recent Kreator I enjoy Enemy of God is the best & would probably be my number 6 album.
Destruction & Sodom ranking videos will be sometime in the future, still missing a couple from each band. Sorry I’m not the guy who puts the little picture to left of his fat head lol, gotta have the physical album to hold up. I wish I would’ve known Kreator in 1987 like you. Thanks as always Jeff 🤘 Have a great holiday weekend :))
Renewal will always be the worst for me then Endorama. I hate Renewal, it's hard to believe it's the same line up that did Coma of Souls. I ended up selling the four albums they did in the 90s. I would place Terrible Certainty #1 and Pleasure to Kill #2. I will go out on a limb and put the Ep Flag of Hate as #3 simply because Awakening of the Gods and Flag of Hate are my 2 favourite Kreator songs. I can't think of how I'd rate the rest. I will say Kreator was a better 80s band then Sodom, but Sodom was a better 90s band. The interesting thing about the first two albums is that Mille and Ventor shared lead vocals because Mille didn't have confidence in his vocals yet. Terrible Certainty was my first album so I was slightly disappointed when Extreme Aggression came out, not with the songs but with the production. The guitars felt thin, over polished, and less aggressive then the go for the throat rawer production of Terrible Certainty and Pleasure to Kill, which I preferred.
I’m still missing 4 of the 90’s Sodom albums, hope they reissue them soon. Tapping The Vein & Code Red are awesome! Great comment as usual 🤘 Cheers Greg
I’m a 68 model and have been into Kreator since day one,I even had/listen to the Tormentor demos before that as a tape traitor.Probably seen them live 10 times +. I like your list but I will advise you to give Renewel more time I think you haven’t got into it enough,it’s without doubt one of the best kreator albums but maybe the hardest to get into.My favourite album is Endless Pain it has always been and will always be 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey Darcy, Great Job! Love KREATOR & I too got into KREATOR later in life 2014. I love newer KREATOR just as much as the old stuff. Gotta give their middle catalog more listening 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Discovered Kreator in 2006, shortly after Enemy of God was out. I love their modern stuff, but those first 5 albums are just so fucking good. Coma of Souls has always been my favorite, just slightly over Pleasure to Kill.
I love Coma Of Souls too! I’m finally going to get to see them live this September, can’t wait! I hope you’re having a great weekend 🤘 Hail To The Hordes :))
@darcysixstringsninelives3493 awesome! Yeah I'll be seeing them late September too🤘
Awesome re-ranking! Darcy!!! I've got Hordes of Chaos on the way so I finally will have all their studio albums!
Right on G! You’ve been completing a lot of discographies lately, you’re gonna need a bigger room lol. Have a great Easter weekend 🤘
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 You too Darcy and the family also!
Great video again me ode, been with Kreator since i ordered Endless Pain by them 'blind' in the mid 80s, Noise had pictures of their other albums on the inner sleeves most of the time so i used to pick 3 or 4 of them a month. You could only get them on import in the UK at the time, they cost me £5.99 each, which was quite a bit more expensive than UK released albums but the music was unbelievable and definitely worth it. So many of those bands on the Noise label in the 80s are still among may favs today. When i got Endless Pain, i couldn't believe how heavy and mind blowing it was, all my mates hated it but i loved it. looking forward to your destruction and sodom rankings dude.
Thanks Neil & thanks for the great comment. Definitely looking forward to covering the rest of the German Big 4 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Interesting ranking Darcy. 3 years later and i still don't own Pleasure To Kill. Don't ask me why, as i have no clue. I should add it to my next order. Invincible Shield just arrived. Awesome album. Happy Easter my friend.
Yup add it to your next order & any other Kreator you’re missing lol. Happy Easter to you too 🤘 Stay Invincible
Coma Of Souls is my favorite with Extreme Aggression being my second favorite. Outcast might be at the bottom for me but my mind could change on that at any time. It was cool to meet them and Sepultura last year. Great live.
I remember you talked about going to that show, I’d love to see Kreator. Modern day Sepultura not so much lol. Have a great Easter weekend 🤘 Cheers MJ
Great review Darcy!
A great band with a great diversified catatog.
I had a chance to discover them already in 1989 (with "Some Pain Will Last" live on a German tv channel) and I was hooked. Even if, as you, the vocals annoyed me at first ;-)
My top 5 would be
Endorama
Extreme Aggession
Outcast
Pleasure to Kill
Phantom Antichrist
I get the point about some not liking Endorama ... and I consider it almost as a CORONER album (Tommy Vetterli' previous group) with Mille Petrozza singing on it.
By the way, I would love to listen your review of CORONER's discography, as this extraordinary group remains in my TOP 3 since 1987 (not only Thrash but music in general).
In the beginning I was led to believe Endorama was bottom of the barrel Kreator, that is definitely not the case! I’m still missing a couple Coroner albums, hopefully I will pick those up soon. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Cheers David
Good ranking video. Happy Easter to you and your family Darcy.
Thank you! Same to you & you’re family 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Great ranking. When i first heard Endless Pain, it blew me away. I was listening to Slayer at the time, but these guys sounded more bad ass, especially the first two albums. At the time, i didn't rally know what black or death metal was. I just liked the rawness and loved Mille's vocals. The 80s output was amazing. 90s stuff, they did drop off a bit. I do agree that Endorama is under rated. But they returned to form big time. Love their last few albums. Dont mind the catchy choruses at all. I think i would rank Phantom Antichrist a little higher than you. My favourite album is Enemy of God. Have to say, i play Kreator more than any other thrash band. Just love the aggression and brutality.
Definitely my most played thrash band over the past few years, them & Sodom! Thanks as always & thanks for the great comment 🤘 Cheers Steve
First off I like Endorama is it Pleasure to Kill no but it’s a good album that I play often. Got into them when flag of hate ep came out. Then saw them live may of 87 opening for Voivod for Killing Technology. Great ranking making me want to jam some Kreator now. 🤘
I’m that way after watching ranking videos too, it’s all that certain band for a week straight lol. Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Michael
Great Kreator ranking Darcy! Kreator are a band I've only gotten into over the last few years, at first I wasn't sure if I would like them but they're a cool band! Their modern stuff is hit and miss for me, there's songs I like but also songs that do nothing for me. The first 2 albums I struggled with, but not because of the extreme sound, the production was my problem. I'll have to check them out properly though. The 90's albums for the most part I'm not interested in honestly, but one day I might check them out. My personal favourite era of the band is Terrible certainty - Coma of souls, reason being it's closest sounding to Bay Area Thrash, which is my favourite Thrash style. I really wanna pick up those albums, great video man! 😊🤘🏻🤘🏻
As you probably know I’m big fan of Bay Area Trash too, but I’m also a fan of bands changing things up! I hope you pick up the ones you want, can’t go wrong with those! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers Josh
@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Yeah, Bay Area Thrash is awesome! Ah ok that's fair enough, sometimes bands change and it works for the better, sometimes not so! But yeah, I need to listen to them more, there's a lot of albums I haven't listened to yet! Thanks man, I'll try to pick up Terrible certainty and Extreme Aggression this year if I can. They're my favourite easily!
You're welcome mate 😊🤘🏻
I listened Kreator already in the late 80's. When Coma of Souls was released, I was disappointed, so I stopped buying their albums. I bought Enemy of God, because the title track was good, and it's pretty good album overall. I like Coma of Souls a bit more now that I used to.

Hi Darcy!!! i think we share some very similar experiences with Kreator back in the day, maybe the vocals were to harsh and agressive for my taste, of course i knew about them and remember the logo everywhere. It's cool to see a new release so high on the list... i really have a lot of homework to do adding their stuff to my collection, but it's nice to see that the newer stuff is also worth checking with their classic albums. cheers and be well
Hi Darcy great video love this band got a few of them myself have you got any live stuff I would recommend them especially love at the roundhouse awesome one that
I have most of the live Kreator stuff, Live At The Roundhouse is great! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Martin
Great review Darcy \../
Wow Endless Pain is so low!! That's my absolute favorite Kreator album!
What year did you get into Kreator? Yes low but still a very good album. Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 '89 when Extreme Aggression came out. I actually went to see a friend's band play in Atlanta one weekend and by chance they were opening for Morgoth and Kreator, turned out to be the Extreme Aggression tour and I was hooked after the show so I checked them out.
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493in '89, went to see a friend's band play in Atlanta and turned they were opening for Kreator at the masquerade it was the tour for Extreme Aggression.
Wow I love the love enemy of god gets here! It is a killer record. Coma of souls might be my number 1, but extreme agression is a thrashterpiece. Hate Uber alles sits nicely here also. I think gods violence is stronger also. But overall such a strong discography, and your right, they belong in the conversation with the thrash greats. And so does destruction!! Great ranking brother . Stay heavy.🤟
You should tune into Heavy Metallürgy tomorrow, Jürgen is on with the guys ranking the Destruction discography! I’m definitely looking forward to that one! Have a great Easter weekend brother 🤘
Have seen Kreator live Twice. I even scored a pick my first time!!
Oh cool! I only got one guitar pick in my life, from James Hetfield on black album tour. Thanks as always my friend 🤘 Have a great weekend :))
I bought Coma of Souls, back 1990, when I was 16., became a fan instantly... I lost track a bit of the Band with Renewal, and I rediscovered the Band with Hordes of Chaos. Still, Coma of Souls and Extreme Aggression remain my favorite Album.
I don't have Endorama, but I have to check it out.
Great Ranking again, Darcy!
For me, Hate über Alles is a bit high in the ranking (not a bad Album), but that is just personal taste.
Stay heavy🤘
I had this preconceived notion that I’m supposed to hate Endorama, not the case! I played the crap out of Hate Über Alles in 2022, that & Megadeth The Sick, The Dying … And The Dead! Thanks as always for the positive vibes 🤘 Cheers my friend
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I was ok with both the recent Albums of Kreator and Megadeth, but I die not play them to Death, unlike the new Priest Album.... So, I will get Endorama and give it a try... Happy and heavy Easter 🤘
That’s a great ranking of Kreator. I ❤ Extreme Aggression, I wish the artwork was better. Cheers Darcy.
Have you ever seen the original intended cover? Look it up, it’s not to shit hot either lol. Have a great Easter weekend 🤘 Cheers brother
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 ya I have seen the original intended cover. It’s worse 😂 cheers and happy Easter

Just curious if you're familiar with the band Mezzrow? Considering how much you love Testament, I'd be shocked if you didn’t like them.
Cheers Darcy!!
It’s definitely not because Endless Pain is bad, we just like other albums better lol. I think I’ve only heard Mezzrow’s older album, not the newest one, I’ll check it out! Cheers to you too Mr.D 🤘 Have a great weekend :))
Remember loving Kreator because my older brother bought the albums up until 89 then death/black metal hit here in Sweden so Renewal was one of this wierd album no one listened to or ever bought much the like their 95 release
I can see how long time fans didn’t like the 90’s albums, so many bands tried different things back then! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers from Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I did like the song Europe after the rain from renewal
Me too!
Kreator is part of the New Big 4 (for me at least) along with Testament, Overkill and Sodom.
🤘
You have great taste lol, that would be my exact Big 4 of Thrash too! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers Aaron
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Always!
Almost, I'd swap Overkill for Exodus though personally..
@petegreenfield3645 Possibly. My thing is Overkill has been purting out consistently great metal. Exodus has had 2 good albums since Tempo. Just my humble opinion. 🤘
That would be my four too.
I love Kreator I love this video!
I knew you’d like this one lol. Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Vinny
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 So I have to ask you if you had to chose what band do you like more Sodom or Kreator?
Kreator all the way! Sodom is a strong #2
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Okay that’s pretty cool Im the opposite Sodom is 1 and Kreator is a close second for me
You've got me baffled. Endless Pain so similar to Pleasure to Kill but so far apart? What makes one so much better than the other for you? Marty took a chunk out of Extreme Aggression when he said about them trying to sound like Testament. Its hard to unhear that now. Enemy of God is definitely the most complete album for me. My entry point was Terrible Certainty. For me they have awesome songs on every album and dross on every album apart from Enemy... I didn't know about the box set you mentioned. So are you saying its a 2 album box set? I hope i heard that wrongly lol
Yes it’s a 2 album box set, not sure why they paired them together! I’m sure everything will be available separately at some point. I think for me a lot of it has to do with the order that I heard them for the first time, not much separating some of these albums. Have a good holiday mate 🤘
Great band that I've been listening to since Terrible Certainty.
My top 5
1. Extreme Aggression
2. Terrible Certainty
3. Pleasure to Kill
4. Coma of Souls
5. Endless Pain
Not a huge fan of the rest. They are ok. I find their recent album boring & a bit to melodic compared to the era I enjoy. What about a Destruction album ranking. I'm not sure if you have done one before. I agree out of all the most recent Kreator I enjoy Enemy of God is the best & would probably be my number 6 album.
Destruction & Sodom ranking videos will be sometime in the future, still missing a couple from each band. Sorry I’m not the guy who puts the little picture to left of his fat head lol, gotta have the physical album to hold up. I wish I would’ve known Kreator in 1987 like you. Thanks as always Jeff 🤘 Have a great holiday weekend :))
Renewal will always be the worst for me then Endorama. I hate Renewal, it's hard to believe it's the same line up that did Coma of Souls. I ended up selling the four albums they did in the 90s. I would place Terrible Certainty #1 and Pleasure to Kill #2. I will go out on a limb and put the Ep Flag of Hate as #3 simply because Awakening of the Gods and Flag of Hate are my 2 favourite Kreator songs. I can't think of how I'd rate the rest. I will say Kreator was a better 80s band then Sodom, but Sodom was a better 90s band. The interesting thing about the first two albums is that Mille and Ventor shared lead vocals because Mille didn't have confidence in his vocals yet. Terrible Certainty was my first album so I was slightly disappointed when Extreme Aggression came out, not with the songs but with the production. The guitars felt thin, over polished, and less aggressive then the go for the throat rawer production of Terrible Certainty and Pleasure to Kill, which I preferred.
I’m still missing 4 of the 90’s Sodom albums, hope they reissue them soon. Tapping The Vein & Code Red are awesome! Great comment as usual 🤘 Cheers Greg
I rank Renewal way higher
