KREATOR

Release Year: 1997
Artist Origin: GER
Style: intense energetic angry thrash metal

before the millennium turn the German thrash institution has been wandering quite a lot in order to find a place in ever-changing scene and maintain their leadership, so this album continues their creative path of distress, and due to broken hopes the accumulated anger effuses into blatant, energetic, from the strong will almost mechanical and borders-crossing music - a good sign to continue was both the return of longtime drummer Ventor, and a short-lived yet interesting venture with Tommy Vetterli [Coroner], so even if this disk has received mixed response, simple yet damn effective Phobia has turned into one of their phenomenal highlights, still smashing everything around in live situation!
