5th album from 1995 by the German KREATOR, one of the most influential bands in the history of Thrash Metal. “Cause for Conflict” stands as one of the most aggressive and extreme releases in the band's entire catalogue, displaying a stronger Death Metal and technical Thrash Metal influence while retaining the speed and ferocity that defined its classic years.
Featuring the debut of drummer Joe Cangelosi and a powerful production, the album delivers a relentless assault of razor-sharp riffs, crushing rhythms and near-constant intensity. It also represents the final chapter of KREATOR's classic era before the band embarked on a period of stylistic experimentation with “Renewal”, which introduced Industrial influences, followed by “Outcast” and “Endorama”, where it explored darker Gothic and atmospheric territories. Long regarded as one of the most underrated albums in the band's catalogue, it is now considered by many fans to be one of KREATOR's fiercest and most uncompromising releases of the 1990s.
Recommended for fans of DEMOLITION HAMMER, DEATHROW, SADUS and DARK ANGEL.
