Last album =
This album = "Endless Pain" (1985)
Next album = "Pleasure to Kill " (1986)"Endless Pain" is the debut album of the
thrash metal bandKreator released in 1985 by Noise Records. It is noted as the only Kreator album that does not haveMille Petrozza on lead vocals. DrummerJurgen Reil sang on the album instead, due to Mille's lack of proper vocal training (though he still did vocals on about half the songs on the album).This album has been known to be viewed upon as a pivotal album to
black metal bands that enjoy dabbling in thethrash metal elements, ultimately creating a thrash-influenced black metal sound. It is also considered by some to be a precursor todeath metal .cite web|title=No Life 'til Metal - Kreator|url=http://www.nolifetilmetal.com/kreator.htm]Major music reviewers, such as
Allmusic , give the album fairly low ratings. However, metal-specific reviewers, despite thelo-fi production, generally give this debut effort high marks.
