This album is not even close to the critically acclaimed Pleasure to Kill because it is a much more mature sound. This is when Kreator started to stray away from the Juvenile satan/kill/destroy lyrics (although I like those lyrics very much) and became more focused and centered. Lyrics about having no control over your life (No Reason to Exist), not conforming to modern sound (Love Us Or Hate Us), and being used (Betrayer). There are the angry violent lyrics, from the title track, some pain will last, and bringer of torture. This album is so perfect. There is much better guitar playing on this album than all the previous Kreator albums. This album is amazing and the end of klassic Kreator. The albums after this, starting with Coma of Souls, are good albums, but they aren't the angry thrash metal band we all know and love. This album is great and I reccomend it to anybody who likes metal.
