Pleasure to Kill is one of the most important and influential thrash albums ever recorded — a ferocious, blood‑soaked milestone that helped define the sound of European extreme metal. Raw, violent, and relentlessly fast, this is Kreator at their most primal and groundbreaking.
 
This Clear with Red Splatter Vinyl – 40th Anniversary Edition gives the album a stunning collector’s presentation. The transparent base with blood‑red splatter perfectly matches the album’s savage aesthetic and makes this pressing one of the most visually striking versions ever produced.
Across nine tracks, the album delivers pure thrash carnage: the iconic opener “Choir of the Damned,” the ripping “Ripping Corpse,” the brutal “Death Is Your Saviour,” and the legendary title track “Pleasure to Kill.” Side B continues the assault with “The Pestilence,” “Carrion,” “Command of the Blade,” and the crushing closer “Under the Guillotine.”
 
A cornerstone of thrash metal — essential for collectors of Kreator, Teutonic thrash, and extreme‑metal history.
