Street Date: 6/9/17

The legendary debut from 1985: "Endless pain" is a diamond in the raw and classic moment in terms of thrash metal! The reissue on black 180g gatefold vinyl has been remastered and features six bonus tracks taken from the demos "Blitzkrieg" (1983) and "End of the world" (1984) plus overhauled artwork and new liner notes!

It was a savage debut; its crude thrashing quickly had the underground metal world abuzz with excitement. This album has been known to be viewed as a pivotal album to black metal bands that enjoy thrash metal elements, ultimately creating a thrash-influenced black metal sound. This version also contains the bands original demos when they were still known as Tormentor, one fittingly named Blitzkrieg (1983), and the other End of the World (1984). These fell into the hands of thousands of heavy metal fans engaging in the era's bustling underground tape-trading network. Positive word of mouth soon attracted the attention of Germany's own metal start-up, Noise Records, which signed the newly re-christened Kreator to a deal. This album presented in CD/LP format contain re-mastered versions by Andy Pearce and overseen by Mille Petrozza. New art has been created packed with rare photos and memorabilia and notes by Mille and Malcolm Dome (Metal Hammer) talking about the creation of the albums. "
