Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating at an unhinged, nearly uncontrollable speed, 'Pleasure to Kill' is a terrifyingly aggressive cornerstone of Teutonic thrash metal. Mille Petrozza鈥檚 vicious shrieks and the band's manic, highly distorted riffing deal almost exclusively in themes of gore, death, and unapologetic violence. The album is a raw, misanthropic assault that directly inspired the formation of the global death metal scene.
