Since the bands inception in the early 80's, KREATOR are the legendary originators of German thrash metal, often mentioned within the German "BIG THREE" SODOM and DESTRUCTION. 

KREATOR have been around for nearly 40 years and have been consistent with quality thrash releases and intense live shows. 

Here ITP V.022 has KREATOR'S new release  "HATE UBER ALLES" on tap toi review. 

KREATOR'S   "HATE UBER ALLES" kicks off with "SERGIO CORBUCCI IS DEAD",a dramatic  instrumental set as ant intro for  the next track. 

KREATOR'S "HATE UBER ALLES"  kicks off with excellent thrash riffing and drumming. Also "HATE UBER ALLES"  has a great chorus and some awesome solos. 

KREATOR'S "KILLER OF JESUS" segues in well from the previous track. Again,"KILLER OF JESUS" features some  understated riffing as the focus is on VENTORS drumming as it keeps a great, versatile pace. "KILLER OF JESUS" features a chanting half chorus as that will go over well live. 

KREATOR'S  "CRUSH THE TYRANTS" is more of a mid paced track with definitive riffing, and an excellent chorus. Melodic guitar solos adorn "CRUSH THE TYRANTS". "Us against you, crush the Tyrants". 

KREATOR'S . "STRONGEST OF THE STRONG" features some excellent melodic guitar work and good thrash riffing. Mid paced,  KREATOR'S . "STRONGEST OF THE STRONG" communicates and could possibly be their biggest track to date. 

KREATOR'S "BECOME IMMORTAL" features the quality twin guitar attack of SAMI YLI SIRNIO and rhythm guitarist vocalist MILLE PETROZZA. MILLE barks "Remember where you came from, Become Immortal"..I can imagine a live audience singing the ohh, oooas of ."BECOME IMMORTAL".  .  

KREATOR'S  "CONQUER AND DESTROY" picks up the speed with a mixture of fast pace and mid tempo. "CONQUER AND DESTROY" features some excellent guitar solos, melodic riffing and assorted thrash 'o Rama.  At 3:06, "CONQUER AND DESTROY" features clean, sung vocals, a nice change of pace from barking vocals and little touch of versatility. 

. KREATOR'S "MIDNIGHT SUN" is a RAGER from the very start as the riffing is well done. "MIDNIGHT SUN" features clean vocals via SOFIA PORTANET, as she sounds great. "MIDNIGHT SUN" is well written mid tempo thrash classic already. 

KREATOR'S "DEMONIC FUTURE" blasts off combining excellent thrash drumming, quality, thrash and melodic riffing and quality guitar solos.

KREATOR'S .."PRIDE COMES BEFORE THE FALL" features a light keyboard intro with clean vocals, before the thrash riffing enters. Mid song, ."PRIDE COMES BEFORE THE FALL"  employs clean vocal slow section into a faster section, although the segue of the two seems awkward. 

.KREATOR'S  "HATE UBER ALLES" closes with "DYING PLANET" , a mid tempo, progressive metal flavored track with well meaning lyrics on Earth's inevitable destruction.However, ."DYING PLANET"  is the clunker of "HATE UBER ALLES".

KREATOR are capable musicians as I specifically like the twin guitar attack of  SAMI YLI SIRNIO and rhythm guitarist/ vocalist MILLE PETROZZA. 

However, while  the first half of . KREATOR'S  "HATE UBER ALLES" is compelling the second half drifts into mid tempo snoozeville. 

Even the mid temp tracks featured on the second half of KREATOR'S "HATE UBER ALLES"  has some interesting moments as the experimentation works better than many of the bands 90's releases. 

KREATOR'S stunning musicianship and a bombastic production hold it together although not all the songs on "HATE UBER ALLES"are great, but not all are bad either. 

Anyway, it's good to hear from KREATOR again as some of the tunes on "HATE UBER ALLES" will go over well live, and do go see them if you get a chance.
