But of course, the real reason why we’re here, the RIFFS! The pick of the bunch might just go to 'Carrion' and 'Ripping Corpse', which satisfy as the most skillfully assembled and the most eye-poppingly vicious respectively. Toxik is technical, Coroner is technical, some of Destruction is technical, this is not, I'm sorry. So good. At least Slayer did better things even if they were not the Dream Theatre of thrash metal. I got it quite a while ago, a few years I think, in part because I'd heard a lot of good things about it and in part because the cover was absolutely badass. I like when thrash bands make things easy with a chorus that consists of the title repeated several times. (null===c||"object"!=typeof c||Array.isArray(c)||N&&c instanceof Uint8Array)){a.g=b-a.f;a.c=c;break a}}a.g=Number.MAX_VALUE}a.i={}},P=[],Q=function(a,b){if(b First up is “Flag of Hate,” a typical thrasher, followed by “Take Their Lives,” a rawer, and slower tune. They're awesome. It's very good, if you like that sort of thing - and who doesn't. For all those whose ears weren't strong enough to survive this flesh ripping album, I have nothing to wish but death, Under the Guillotine!!! The others have already died" The lead/bass combination around the 5 minute mark for the last verse is certain to destroy something. ‘Carrion’ has all of its good moments shot down in flames by those fucking solos, and ‘Take Their Lives’ demonstrates that early Kreator can be boring and uninspired even when they slow down, and ‘Flag of Hate’, try as it might, just can’t recapture an interest in this album that to be honest was lost a long while back. Its aggressive and raw sound had been remaining as a trademark of the band for almost one decade, and this album is one of the best Teutonic metal releases. 89% On this song I have to say Ventor’s vocals work out fine . For all intents and purposes, better. Pure, natural brutality all the way to the core. What impresses the most about Pleasure to Kill is not that Kreator managed to make a terrifyingly intense thrash album, but more that they managed to do it while sounding extremely sharp and tight as well as pissed and bloodthirsty. Quick drum intro, evil verse riff, evil Mille vocals, evil lyrics (rampaging vampires anyone?). I am not especially partial to all-out musical destruction, but I must say that Pleasure to Kill is one of the best examples of its kind, almost certainly better than that other 1986 all-out thrash album. }, function(bids) { The following three albums were compositionally simply better. These riffs are distinct from the normal thrash riffs in that those are closer to the physical embodiment of violence while these are more like a platonic idea of violence. On these numbers, there are no moments when the band step down from furious fast pace, nor any hints of mercy or loss of concentration. Mille is ahead of the pack and spits out the nonsensical lines with a maximum of hate and anger. { This won’t be getting many spins at all from me I’m afraid, which is a real shame seeing as I really wanted to be blown away by this CD. If I have any criticisms, it's mostly with the solos, which sound very sloppy and quite cringe-inducing - they easily ruin a very, very good song by making it seem like, when the solo came, they simply handed the guitar over to a 10-year-old (or perhaps Herman Li?). width: 100%; }); It's just plain boring. Ventor's drumming kicks all ass in his path; it sounds damn good in this crystal mix, with a certain technical flair to the teutonic jackhammering. "Pleasure To Kill" has that devastating slowed down middle section ("I return to the cemetary, and my bloodlust is stilled! It has one or two redeeming moments, but certainly nothing worth the endless praise it often receives. Though surprisingly, my personal favourite song on here is the most harmless of the bunch (but still brutal as fuck) "Command of the Blade", cause it's just insanely catchy. Whatever it might be that makes this album so wonderful, Kreator's Pleasure to Kill is a certifiable Thrashterpiece and even a bona fide Metal classic on a broader scale. } $(function() { The sound itself isn't too bad, although still not particularly to my tastes. Frankly, the entire lyrics of "Pleasure to Kill" are nothing else but a pile of shit (and the artwork is not much better). The songs are good, but there are the problems I mentioned before. Here they are: ---- . The bass is good and loud to anchor the guitars, and Ventor really never sounded better than here; his kit sounds highly present and organic, like it were emanating straight from your basement. PTK immediately transports us to this world with the surprisingly atmospheric and gentle intro Choir of the Damned, which has a very medieval feel and makes use of soothing lead guitar melodies, wind samples, keyboards and acoustic guitars. ‘Riot Of Violence’ is a simple composition with a few changes of key and pace but objectively speaking the song has a copy-paste feeling surrounding it. However, the album grew on me and now I like all of the songs off of the album. In this song, Tormentor meets Kreator and the result is total destruction of all the world! I now consider it to be the best and my favorite thrash album of all time alongside Slayer’s Reign in Blood. “Endless Pain” was a fairly decent debut, the guys not having realized yet that they could bash with the utmost intensity and get away with it, and it seemed as though they would eventually learn to play their instruments with the requisite proficiency at a later stage. This is one of the most agressive songs I've ever heard. On the other hand, tracks towards the end of the album heavily decrease in quality. Anyway - this song is really brilliant both musically and lyrically. Pleasure to kill, probably my favorite track on the album, and I can actually hear what he¡¦s saying on this song too, and the part where he goes ¡§PLEASURE TO KILL¡¨, just gets me going every time¡K. 'Wyatt of violence? Mille's guitar is still just okay; a step up from his work on "Endless Pain" but only just. Pleasure to Kill is not sophisticated. slots: [{ This is Deutsch Thrash with a doctorate, and it fucking rules. Yup, this is 56 minutes of some of the best thrash out there. Ventor's drumming is intense, very intense. Of course, "melody" here does not refer to the beautiful or saccharine incarnation of it, but its angular, Slayeristic, aggressive form. The final track is the 7 minute epic, Awakening of the Gods, easily the best song on the demo. The riff under the chorus is great and catchy, something this album desperately lacks. “The Pestilence” is probably my favourite track on the album. It has an awesome riff followed by skanks and fills on the drums, and Mille's vocals sound heavy and plain evil. The songs just aren't memorable in any way. 2 user reviews of Pleasure To Kill by Kreator 0 Kreator have always been my favorite out of the German Big 3, and this album is the reason why. And, if you think of it, what more did we want, a bunch of angry, belligerent teenagers; this was the perfect fodder for us to jump, and shout, and scream at whoever cared, and at the world in general… This album asks “can’t you have both?” Now that is not to say that this album destroys Dark Angel nor Slayer in their respective categories. '//www.googletagservices.com/tag/js/gpt.js'; { Darkness Descends and Reign in Blood arose from North America, to be answered by the second full-length chapter of Germany's young Kreator: Pleasure to Kill. Songs like Riot of Violence show again that you do not need skill, just catchiness in a song, the main riff is extremely hooky and catchy, but a kid with a guitar up his ass could play it with his sphincters ƒº. On the other end of the spectrum, if the music has an abundance of melody and lack of speed, it is criticized endlessly. the break riff of the title track) rely on typical thrash down-picking. I can see why some people go on about it, but to me that's a kneejerk reaction. Compare the album to something like Metallica's "Ride the Lightning", another one dealing with death as a theme, and the difference couldn't be more apparent. But I'm afraid not. googletag.cmd.push(function(){ While this type of melody is present in most riffs in a dissolved form, there are also many riffs that put special emphasis on it (examples are very numerous, but for the most obvious one, see Riot of Violence). This honestly sounds like a learner practising a guitar lesson, yet after the retarded guitar finally comes to a stuttering end, ethereal keys and acoustic guitar work founded from actual chords seep through, which is the first thing that can be gleaned from this CD; the songwriting and ability of the band is in no way up to the standard needed to communicate the vision of the album, because some of the ideas expressed on ‘Pleasure to Kill’ could hold a lot of potential if they weren’t so badly executed. left:0; It's not been overproduced. Throughout the entire album, they are repetitive, very simplistic, boring, I mean there is no fantasy, no technicality. This album goes so fast, even time speeds up when you listen to it, ripping through song after song. Mille, a young brat then, screams like a madman, while playing really sloppily, this is the sound of underproduced thrash, but it sounds so great and so primal, you just feel like acting out their song titles listening to it. Speaking of Ventor, his drumming is very unique, in a good way, the fills have this pattering quality which would doubtlessly inspire Hellhammer (the Mayhem member). There is something appealing about this unholy, ripping carnage. It's faster, rawer, and much more extreme. Has your neck had enough yet? Perhaps it is the simple-minded way in which the elements clash: Mille Petroza's raspy grunting, the jack-hammering riffs, the galloping, primal drums and the strange, dirty sounding bass lines, all topped off with the sloppy, ear-piercing guitar solos to create a monster of a ferocity that the world had not yet seen. "Carrion" follows suit, and then "Command of the Blade", which is my second favorite here after "Riot of Violence", with its escalating dynamics and Slayer-like bridge riff below the solo. This album will refuse to let you survive unharmed.
