Kreator

A German thrash metal group founded in 1982 in Essen. The name of the group comes from the Latin create — "to create," "creator," and also from the name of a demon in ancient German mythology. However, there is another interpretation of this name ("Kreatur" from the German language translates as "creature" or "creation"). In the 1980s, the group put a lot of effort into the spread of thrash metal and also influenced the formation of the death metal style with its creative work. Kreator is well known outside of Germany, alongside such German collectives as Destruction and Sodom.
