Kreator is a Thrash Metal band hailing from Essen, Germany. Originally formed in 1982 as Tormentor, the band underwent a name change in 1984 after the departure of singer Manfred Rehberg. Led by Jürgen "Ventor" Reil on drums and Miland "Mille" Petrozza on vocals and guitar, Kreator has become one of the most influential bands in the genre.

With their current line-up consisting of talented musicians such as Marco Minnemann on live drums, Sami Yli-Sirniö on guitar, and Frédéric Leclercq on bass, Kreator continues to deliver powerful performances that captivate audiences worldwide.

Throughout their career, Kreator has seen several changes in their lineup with notable past members including Roberto "Rob" Fioretti and Andreas Herz on bass, Christian "Speesy" Giesler on bass for an impressive 25 years from 1994 to 2019, Joe Cangelosi on drums from 1994 to 1996, Thomas "Tommy" Vetterli on guitar from 1996 to 2001, Frank "Blackfire" Gosdzik on guitar from 1989 to 1996, Jörg "Tritze" Trzebiatowski on guitar from 1986 to 1989, and Michael Wulf who sadly passed away in 1986.

Noise Records is a German record company and label that specialized in thrash and melodic speed metal. It was founded in 1983 by Karl-Ulrich Walterbach as an expansion of his company, Modern Music Records. Throughout its active years between 1983 and 2007, Noise Records released music under different names such as Modern Music, Under One Flag, and Sanctuary.

In 2001, the label was sold to Sanctuary Records Group but unfortunately ceased all activity in 2007 due to Sanctuary's bankruptcy. However, in October of the same year, the entire Noise catalogue including the label itself was acquired by Universal Music Group.

Then in February 2013, BMG Rights Management signed an agreement to purchase the Noise catalog from Universal. As a result, Noise Records was relaunched with a different label code (LC 23251) in 2016 under BMG's ownership.

Formed in Essen, Germany in 1984, Kreator are arguably the most influential and successful European thrash metal band ever, like many of their European speed metal brethren, Kreator fused Metallica's thrash innovations with Venom's proto-black metal imagery. Often credited with helping pioneer death metal and black metal by containing several elements of what was to become those genres. The band has achieved worldwide sales of over two million units for combined sales of all their albums, making them one of the best-selling German thrash metal bands of all time. The band’s style has changed several times over the years, from a Venom-inspired speed metal sound, later moving in to thrash metal, and including a period of transitioning from thrash to industrial metal and gothic metal throughout the 1990s. In the early 2000s, Kreator returned to their classic thrash sound, which has continued to the present. Their last studio album Gods Of Violence charted top twenty in ten countries, including a number one slot in their home country of Germany.BoxsetEndless Pain(Swirl vinyl with original artwork and inner sleeve)Pleasure To Kill(Splatter vinyl with original artwork and inner sleeve)Terrible Certainty(Splatter vinyl with original artwork and inner lyric sleeve)Extreme Aggression(Half/half vinyl with original artwork and inner lyric sleeve)Coma Of Souls(Splatter vinyl with original artwork and inner lyric sleeve)Renewal(Swirl vinyl with original artwork and inner lyric sleeve)Some Pain Will Last DVDContaining ‘From The Vault’ mini documentary, plus two previously unreleased audio live concerts and an Andy Sneap remix of Live In East Berlin 1990.MERCHANDISE Bringer Of Torture Book12” x 12”, 40 page book of photography, quotes and lyrics from the first decade of the bands existence.
