Kreator - Awakening of the Gods [LIVE 1987]

[thrashdeathattack80]

thrashhh total...

[EBBadd1]

Proof that raw energy exceeds technique when talking thrash or death metal,this is a little sloppy but who gives a crap it was intense, fast, heavy and irreverent when I bought pleasure to kill that's what mattered being full of teenage angst and all it was psych fuel,now I'm 40 and it's a lot different now.

[TOEFLESH]

I always hated how fast they played this live. Sloppy and not near as heavy as the EP. Every other song sounded cool faster but not this one. Yes, my discs by them were TERRIBLE CERTAINTY and EXTREME AGGRESSION!

[punk4561]

Raw ! One Of THE KINGS OF THRASH METAL

[thrashtildethxx]

remember when metal sounded evil raw and badass? silly metal core it doesnt matter how much double bass you use or how many steps you down tune youll never be heavier than thrash and sure as HELL will never kick more ass than kreator

[ralphvonvinland]

agreed 100 %.

[lovetre1]

best band of thrash

[leicheterrorzone]

warbringer is okay. it's cool that they're thrash, but they just sound like slayer with better guitar solos.

[ijsschots]

En dat in West-Friesland!!

[metalgtarist666]

the last great thrash band , now everything sucks , all these new lil thrash band , fuck them !!

[diodude678]

dude, i have news, thrash is being saved by one MODERN thrash band, and that band is evile

[ozi76]

totally agree

[D3nimandL3ath3r]

Saw Evile with Megadeth . . . they are fuckign great brought their enter the grave album next day

[hilltoprocks]

you guys should listen to Warbringer and Avenger of Blood as well. those guys are new Thrash Metal bands and they kickass!

[Viriatus]

Destroyer 666 is also pretty cool although they are that not that young and not pure trash

[mitzuzauru]

now kreator sucks, too

[SuicideMuppets]

have any of you ever heard of Warbringer? I seriously recommend them to anyone loves the true thrash metal genre!

[drzaiusman]

Warbringer is meh. Most retro thrash is meh. Violator is really good though.

[xmetalxthrasherx]

man, it ain't retro it's the new wave of thrash. There's a ton of new thash bands forth coming

[Pernault]

A new wave ?

These bands play typical 80's Thrash.

Some of them are really good (i love Hexen, for instance) but they are not bringing anything new.

They strive to sound similar to old Slayer, Exodus or Megadeth.

[xmetalxthrasherx]

It's not any different, the point is to stay true to the thrash sound. It's just refering to a whole new wave of thrash bands. Because they're not playing 80s thrash. They're playing 2000s thrash, sounds the same, because it's just thrash. but it's a new era a new to time for thrash to live again, strong like before.

[Pernault]

"but it's a new era a new to time for thrash to live again, strong like before."

OK, I understand.

[Punchbear]

@drzaiusman Only coz you weren't there first time round, oder?

[QueenDemonDoll]

Um, you know they really do not respect metal women. AT ALL! To the point that they even raped some chicks. Yeah..fuck that band. Warbringer? more like gaybringer....

[ohiogrinder]

@QueenDemonDoll lol

[MIGUELBO]

Thrash's Europe's number one band,

Such amazing Album's marked all my adolescence.

Out of the dark into the light , pleasure to kill, endless pain, extreme aggression, terrible certainty, coma of souls.....

[ajvarofdoom]

bwaha

whata chaos!

pure THRASH!

[mitzuzauru]

mille had no voice after pleasure to kill

[hilltoprocks]

you're an idiot!

[mitzuzauru]

let me say this clear: this here is the voice that i like! it's the best, the most desperate voice mille ever had

[Hellthrasher]

Fuk man, so much energy!!

I wish they were still this empressive live.

One of the best songs as well!!

Love that opening riff!

[paranojaaa]

You must see "Gienek z Rudnika". The best in the world!!!

[necromauricio]

KREEEEEATOOOOOR IS THE LAW CABRONES!

[elbardo1977]

This was the true kreator in their golden ages!!Abosultely thrash death cult!!!!!

[Tatinhoblack]

aaaaaaaaa

[robertrpg1711]

kreator una de mis bandas favoritas siempre seran unos dioses!!!

[TOXICTRACE]

UFF! Awakening of the gods..KREATOOORRRRR

[ThrashAnthems]

one of my favorit kreator songs!!!

[takikuni]

KREATOR was the BEST these days...

[CraigBarduk]

Kreator! /m/,

[redshaftedflicker]

Kreator. The reason that I think most metal blows ass. Saw them live in Boise, ID on the Enemy of God tour. Couldn't have been more than 75 people and they played like there were 75,000. Very cool of them to play so ferociously for such a small crowd.

[antometalhead]

che macello sonoro

[thrasher123]

never got to see them back in the day but saw them in the mid 90's and they are tight live and they were even tight back then!

[novembrine1]

Is it just me or today's bands are not even close to be this brutal, either for attitude and music???

[evilaggression]

This show isn't very rare but it's awesome. I've been lucky enough to see Kreator a couple of times in 86 and 87. Great shows.

[thoughtprovoke]

this is great, it's live on "Out of the Dark/Into the Light", this, & Terrible Certainty, Pleasure to Kill, all are great and still blow away most of today "thrash".

[milanfanforlife]

Fucking great!

Any other old school Kreator videos out there?

[BillSchwenke]

German Television I was able to get off eBay, pretty cool!

[Hellthrasher]

Damnit! It ends just as the 'Choir of the Damned' comes on! Great vid either way!

[BillSchwenke]

Ripping Corpse Attack! Check out After the Attack, a track found on iTunes of all places

[chickenblaster]

Wow, that is a great rare song! If only I had I-tunes! fuck!

[BillSchwenke]

It's on the best of collection put out a few years back, I didn't get it because it had alot of stuff I already bought, but that tune alone is the one that got me into the band

[Neidhardt84]

KREATOR!!! GIVE ME A FUCKING TIME MACHINE TO MAKE A TRIP TO THE 80ies!!

[TryLSDnow]

Thanks for uploading this. Great audio - either great mic or soundboard patch. Amazing!

[MIGUELBO]

Oh yeah, wish there were more, kreator on pleasure to kill tour and out of the dark...into the light. Very cool memories, best european thrash band since 1985.

[rawmeatiamthedeath]

No, Kreator is the second best european thrash band, the best is Destruction. Just listen to it!

[PerteTotale]

agree with tony

im glad i saw them in tilburg that same tour

[lucifershorde6]

the actual playing sounds pretty sloppy in the beginning otherwise good

[kylescousin]

Still cant believe this was Kreator 20 years ago. This sound was very much ahead of its time. Still sounds brutal today. Back in the day when Millie could really scream!!

[Lyraka]

Classic Kreator from Hell!

[lenny666]

It's not like this nowadays because back then no one was under any illusions about getting rich from doing it.

[AppA]

hence comes the term 'underground' on the stage >)

[Guitar11]

Thrash metal used to be like this... why cant it be like this these days!!!!

[Thrasher502]

VERY nice

[necronX666]

That´s what we wanna see!!! Early Kreator with all their real aggression and perfect, energetic stageshow! Perfect!

[Tony762x39]

This was Kreator's last good year as a band, imho. It all went downhill after terrible Certainty, which was their last true Kreator album. This video clip is not of a very high quality recording in that it was captured with a single cam, but its alot better then some of the videos from later years... no matter how clear and professionally filmed some of the later shows may be.

[AppA]

I agree with you, totally.

After that, they began to grow mellow... 'for the sake of the listeners'.

Old-skool thrash... worth dying for in the pit.

[lldestr0yerll]

kreator fukin old school thrash

[megahdeth]

fuck that shit was bad! where the fuck is the reEST??

[sirnio]

great video,really rear,kreator rulz!!!
