I have been listening to Kreator since the eponymous "Coma of Souls", but hadn't heard much from them for the last few years. It seems that since the resurgence in metal's popularity began a couple of years ago, many of the old classic thrash bands have made a comeback- some still seem to have it, some don't.

Fortunately for me, "Enemy of God" proves that Kreator does. The German metallers were one of the first "mega-heavy" bands which really got me into heavier styles of music. Nihilistic, abrasive, intense and heavy as hell, Kreator are relentless and brutal, and this excellent new comeback release proves that they still hold their own in a genre now full of bands trying to emulate what they were doing almost twenty years ago. The disturbing artwork and clever album title are worth a tip of the hat, as well. Recommended.
