We South Americans are nor the luckiest people when it comes to metal, we don't have those big festivals, not all bands come to play here, and sometimes not all records get released here. This brings us to the point of this review, a little late but worthy, why a little late? Because South America can now rejoice by the release of a little jewel, Kreator's fourth album, "Extreme Aggression" yes, we got the release 15 years late to be exactly, but at least we got it, via Century Media Brazil.

Thrash metal originated in the Bay Area of California and many believed it to be an American phenomenon, which grew and spawned in the United States. American phenomenon it was but not just confined to the United States. It also found a very unlikely breeding ground in Germany. The German thrash movement was spearheaded by bands like Sodom, Tankard and Destruction and it was considered to be paler compared to its American counterparts but Kreator was different. The album in question is perhaps the best ever in the band's discography.

It's not quite the outright classic as the two albums it's sandwiched between are, but there's still plenty of awesome thrash on it. "Some Pain Will Last" is a monstrous song, and is my fave on the album, but other songs like the title track, "Bringer Of Torture", and "Betrayer" are among Kreator's best songs, and ''Fatal Energy" is an awesome closing track!

Brilliant album, though not quite the masterpiece that would become of 'Coma of Souls'. But there is still some excellent material on here\m/

I also prefer "Terrible Certainty" and "Coma Of Souls" to this album. Not because "Extreme Aggression" is not great but because the two other albums are even greater.

They shake your hand and they smile and they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends we'll stick with you till the end
But everybody's only looking out for themselves
And you say who can you trust I'll tell you nobody

Yes, those two albums are both great albums from front to back, with Coma... being narrowly the better of the two. "Extreme Aggression" has a couple of so-so songs, which is why it isn't quite in the same classic league as it's predecessor and successor.

"Sounds without feelings, energy or agressions
From money hungry brains and not from the heart
Fortune, fame and glory are their obssessions
Salesmen, deaf to music, blind to art"

Thats the definition of perfect to me! Insane vocals, powerful and technical riffs and aggressive drums make this album an absolute must for any thrash fan.

Best lyrics...EVER!!!

"Growing up like any other child
Like millions of others before
A statistic living exactly by the norm
Don't need to think about the future now
It's already decided for you
You have all you need so don't ask for more"

"Year by year and day by day you feel the need to escape
You realize that you're not the same
But you're too uncertain to make a step
Away from their false truth
But remember how fast you lose the years of youth"

"Existing like the rest
In endless emptiness
Manipulated slaves
From the womb until the grave
You never had a chance
They put you in a trance
Against your will"

"Don't try to take our dreams away
We will never be like you
Love us or hate us, it doesn't matter to me
We don't want to be a part of this sick society"

"In the stream of consciousness
We cannot see the truth
Play your role so perfectly
No matter which life we choose"

"Mindless fools, obey all rules
Lost all worth, born to serve"

"We live in a world of hate and deceit, corruption and greed
Just wait my friend, you will see
Misery's coming your way, horror and pain reserved for you"

"Time, the time flies fast you will feel
Still a child yet tomorrow you'll be
A man full of hopes and of dreams
Dreams are destroyed easily"

"Ignorant twisted mind, maybe it would help
To think before you speak from time to time
Pretend to be a friend of mine
But you would sell your mother if you could
For less than a dime"

Old school TM, full whit hate aggressiveness, angry young men whit jeans and long hair goies to football, away days and so on., basically action happens in the streets. You see here all in the lyrics, music. Today non od TM bands are so angry and aggressive. There are no message in today's metal as in those days FTW.

I am growing away from such metal, but sometimes its great to listen somethging like this. I wanna be young forever ehhh

This absolute thrash masterpiece is turning 30 years old today. Sounds like a good excuse to blast it once again.

Mine too! I remember feeling so proud because they shot the video in Greece. Extreme Aggression was my first Kreator album and remains my favourite of theirs to this day.

To think that they released this one and Coma of Souls in less than a year and a half between them is insane. Tremendous inspiration.

My entry to the gate of thrash was Slayer, Nuclear Assault, Overkill and then this.

I still remember that I found Extreme Aggression through Last.fm radio(which now defunct) and then straight head to YouTube to listen to this incredible mess.

An absolute classic. 2nd only (maybe 3rd) to Terrible Certainty (and maybe Pleasure) in the list of my favourite Kreator albums. Probably the last truly great Kreator album too.

If your opinion about albums has changed, re-evaluate, give another rating. So that things make sense...

I don't get it. Pleasure to Kill is incredible. Half the songs on this and Terrible Certainty are mediocre, half good. 2 massive letdowns after one of the best thrash albums of all time
