Thrash metal is to heavy metal as viagra is to spam. Kreator is at the center of it all, and noting their age, they may even need some viagra to get it on with middle aged groupies. But all that said, Kreator is and was one of the most important fissures in the thrash metal genre. This March they re-released on DVD their “Live in East Berlin” and “Hallucinative Comas”, both of which were previously only available on the analog VHS format. It’s nice to see that bands care enough about their fans to give them a hold-over while they patiently wait for the band to release its next album sometime early in 2009. The DVD features some never-before-seen interviews and the concert is re-mixed into glorious 5.1 sound quality. Now that’s shredtastic!
