Terrible Certainty

One of the "big four" of Teutonic thrash metal along with Destruction, Sodom and Tankard, Essen's Kreator helped pioneer death metal and black metal as we know it but are best known and beloved for their classic thrash metal style. They were one of the first group's to sign to a major label and have gone on to sell over two million albums to date making them one of the best-selling German thrash metal bands of all time. Kreator's highly anticipated third studio effort, 1987's Terrible Certainty, saw the band living up to their reputation as one of the era's finest modern thrash exports with power to spare thanks to the addition of guitarist Jörge Trebziatowski.
