Who is the better band?

SLAYER

Kreator!

Slayer in the 80's, Kreator in the present.

This.

I'd say Kreator, as well. I like both bands, though, as they each have their different charms and quirks.

Slayer

Slayer from "Reign in Blood" through "Seasons in the Abyss."

Kreator since their "comeback."

Hell Awaits & Pleasure to Kill both completely blew me away. Impossible to choose.

Slayer

Kreator

A slight nod to Kreator only because they still put interesting stuff out now, not that Slayer are slackers though.

I place both Seasons in the Abyss and Hordes of Chaos among my list of favorite thrash metal albums of all time.

80's Slayer and 80's Kreator rules!! Sadly I'm not a fan of new Kreator. I did enjoy World Painted Blood so I have to Slayer.

Never really listened (or cared) to post - 'Divine Intervention' all that much, I my book KREATOR is the more consistent band and has put up better albums as they aged....

Slayer is good but Kreator simply writes better songs

Slayer.

As a whole: Kreator

However I prefer Hell Awaits and South of Heaven over anything Kreator has done

Slayer

SSSSSLLLLAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY-ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

(Sorry, I had to do it.)

Kreator. As they have proven they don't always have to be Thrash. If Slayer was to try something different their fans wouldn't accept it. I'm not saying that Kreator fans loved Endorama, Outcast or Renewel but I think Kreator can get away with it and Slayer would be laughed at. Slayer is basically a one trick pony. I like Slayer but you know what to expect when you buy their albums.

Which is more of a problem with the fans than anything.

They were in AC / DC mode for as long as I can remember lacking variety and pretty much in a rut since the mid-90's (wth???)

Kreator made some god-awful albums I must admit but their comeback albums somewhat negates it

These new Kreator albums basically sound like more polished versions of their late 80s heyday, they are tilling the same exact soil. In that regard I think they are essentially doing the same thing as Slayer...doing what they're good at and what is expected of them by their fans.

Slayer are better at spelling
