KREATOR appendix

What someone (and yet alone me) should firstly mention about this super and most persistent to date group of European thrash??? Firstly I must apologise about the original suggestion that not only did wrong at 2 mega - influential bands, but failed to deliver on some various expected features in Kokdi's music suggestions

Better late than never though that we owe proper justice to the band that IS European thrash (alongside the other 2 German giants SODOM and Destruction)

Firstly with the proper bio review as mentioned by the experts:

"With Tritze the band started their first tour ever (before the release of Pleasure to Kill they had only played five gigs total). In 1989, German director Thomas Schadt made a documentary about Kreator (focusing on the social aspect of heavy metal in the Ruhr area) titled Thrash Altenessen (named after the band's hometown, a suburb of Essen). Tritze left Kreator after Extreme Aggression, which was (as was the follow-up Coma of Souls) recorded in Los Angeles with producer Randy Burns (Also Megadeth, among others). Tritze was replaced by a former Sodom guitarist, Frank "Blackfire" Gosdzik, who would stay in the band until 1996. After the release of Renewal in '92, founding member Rob decided to leave the band to spend more time with his family. He was replaced by Andreas Herz, who never played on any official releases as the band released nothing between 1992 and 1995. The reason was a long fight between the band and their label Noise records, because Kreator wanted to get out of their contract. This also contributed to Ventor's decision to leave Kreator, together with personal problems he had at the time. When they finally signed a new deal with GUN Records in 1995, Herz had already been replaced by Chrstian Geisler. Also, the band had a new drummer in Joe Cangelosi, who was a friend of Frank Blackfire. Cangelosi decided to leave after only one album, and Gosdzik also departed at this time. Ventor returned to the band to replace him and Frank Gosdzik was replaced by Tommy Vetterli (Coroner). When he left in 2001, Sami Yli-Sirniö was brought in.

The band originally called Tormentor in the old days (1982-1984). Both demos were released under that name. The first line-up was Mille, Rob, and Ventor. A few guitarists were tried before Tritze joined after the Flag of Hate EP. Michael Wulf was in the band for a few days and didn't play on Pleasure to Kill, despite him getting credit. " Source
