The last time I reviewed a Kreator live set was some ten years ago, with ‘Live Kreation’. Then, as now, that was a double CD set that was released in conjunction with a DVD – of course now it is blu-ray and if you were to purchase that then you would have access to even more music, but as it is there are 24 songs here. These guys need no introduction whatsoever, formed as long ago as 1982 with their debut in 1985, these guys have kept the flag flying for Thrash with an uncompromising approach and with a fanbase that know what they want when they attend a Kreator gig, and the band are going to give it to them in spades. This is a brutal onslaught from start to finish, but with a melody that is often missing from other bands of this genre.

Mille is the master frontman, commanding both the band and the audience who gladly provide backing vocals on “Enemy of God”. Recorded at their homecoming show at Turbinenhalle on 22nd December 2012, this is a band and their fans sharing a special occasion. The call and response of “Phobia” is wonderful, with the audience as fired up as the band. It sounds like this was a very special night indeed, and the band definitely react to the response that they are receiving. Kreator in full flight are a sight to be heard, and if you get the blu-ray then you will be able to share in that visually as well. It doesn’t get much better than this. www.nuclearblast.de
