One of the "big four" of Teutonic thrash metal along with Destruction, Sodom and Tankard, Essen's Kreator helped pioneer death metal and black metal as we know it but are best known and beloved for their classic thrash metal style. They were one of the first group's to sign to a major label and have gone on to sell over two million albums to date making them one of the best-selling German thrash metal bands of all time. Noise Records continues their Kreator reissue campaign with a new remastered and expanded colored double vinyl pressing of the group's experimental sixth album Renewal, released in 1992 during a period where they were transitioning from thrash to industrial/gothic metal. Comes complete with three bonus tracks including a rare version of "Winter Martyrium," a remixed "Europe After the Rain" and the demo cut "Trauma."
