Endless Pain is the debut album of the thrash metal band Kreator, released in 1985 by Noise Records.
On this album both Petrozza and Reil share vocal duties. This album has been known to be viewed as a pivotal album to black metal bands that enjoy dabbling in thrash metal elements, ultimately creating a thrash-influenced black metal sound.
The first vinyl pressing of 5,000 copies came on red vinyl. Later pressings were on normal black vinyl.
