Kreator is a band from Germany with a black/trash metal sound. The group was formed in 1982 with no name, but it began performing in 1984 under the name Tormentor. The band has cycled through various members, although two of the three founders, Mille Petrozza and Jurgen Reil, are still with Kreator. Its style evolved from speed metal with Venom influences into a more industrial and gothic sound through the 2000s; however, today Kreator is back to what brought it its desire to make music in the first place: trash metal.
