Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their evolution from chaotic blackened thrash to highly disciplined musical brutality, 'Terrible Certainty' finds Kreator tightening their arrangements and enhancing their technical precision. Mille Petrozza barks vicious, socially critical lyrics over a relentless, manic onslaught of incredibly fast, complex guitar riffs. The album is a dark, aggressively heavy benchmark in the ferocious pantheon of Teutonic thrash metal.
