Kreator - Endorama

One of my favourite metal albums of all time, great album from beginning to end best songs on the album would have to be the title track, Chosen few, Passage to Babylon, Golden Age and the awe inspiring Piano Ballad Everlasting Flame. Along with Nevermore's Dreaming Neon Black its the best metal album to come out in 1999. Thrash purists would initially hate this album since it sounds too melodic well I guess its the red headed step child of all Kreator albums but what I love about this album and what makes Kreator a superb metal band they were willing to stretch their musicianship and step outside of their comfort zone, explore other music and they successfully did that with this masterpiece some other well known metal bands have done that and released some smurf poo albums Metallica come to mind with Lulu and St Anger, Def Leppard with X and Megadeth with Risk etc. Kreator now are one of the best thrash metal bands of today along with Overkill they are getting better and better as muscians and their recent albums sound just as good or even better than their 80s stuff. Anyway do any of you like this album or think its the worst album by Kreator? The isn't really such thing as a bad Kreator album

I never heard that album until a couple years ago when I found out that Tommy Vetterli from Coroner (one of my favorite metal guitarists) played on it. I have never been a "thrash purist" and usually like the more experimental albums bands attempt.

Unfortunately, the album didn't make much of an impact on me aside from having a few really good tunes. I might have to revisit this sometime soon and give it another shot.

My favorite song is "Shadowland".

Everyone hates it, but I enjoy this one quite a bit. Of their more experimental, non-thrash albums, this one would be my favorite.

I too like this album quite a bit. I ignored it for awhile based on all the hate it gets but once I got a copy I found myself really into it. Break it out quite a bit.

I love all their experimental albums and this is no exception. Especially the title track is great

I've never heard Endorama. I saw it at a used store once but they were asking $19.99 for it and didn't feel like plunking down the dough for it. Probably should have (looking back on it now);that's been the first and only time I've ever seen that thing.

I like it more than Risk or St Anger.

Outcast and Endorama are rather atmospheric Kreator albums.

you can listen to the whole album on youtube

Endorama is an excellent experimental/mature release.

Just like renewal, which is one of my favourite KREATOR albums

Tommy is an awesome guitarist. The album has a Paradise Lost type vibe.
