THIS DAY, BUT IN 1989: KREATOR RELEASES "EXTREME AGGRESSION"



It was June 19th, 1989 and KREATOR was coming from a killer album like "Terrible Certainty" released in 1987 and two amazing first albums "Endless Pain" and "Pleasure to Kill". The result of the composition process and the recording was this excellent album called "Extreme Aggression", full of the classic riffs that are KREATOR´s trademark and with Mille Petrozza vocals more agonic than ever before. Released through Noise Records the album features classic tracks that re aplayed on live shows even in 2020, like "Betrayer" or "Some Pain Will Last". It features also crushing riffs like the ones in "No Reason to Exist" or "Love Us or Hate Us". This was the last album to feature Jörg Tritze on guitars, that was later replaced by ex SODOM (now in SODOM again) guitarist Frank Blackfire. Besides Tritze and Petrozza, the album also features the killer rythm section featuring Rob Fioretti on bass and long time drummer Ventor.
