Endless Pain is the first album of the thrash metal band Kreator released in 1985 by Noise Records.
This album has been known to be viewed upon as a pivotal album to black metal bands that enjoy dabbling in the thrash metal elements, ultimately creating a thrash-influenced black metal sound. It is also considered by some to be a precursor to death metal.[1]
Major music reviewers, such as All Music Guide, give the album fairly low ratings. However, metal-specific reviewers, despite the lo-fi production, generally give this debut effort high marks.[2]
