The band from Essen have created a milestone with their "Extreme Aggression" record in 1989. At that time that album had been one of the fastest and roughest records of the scene and it could compete with milestones like "Reign In Blood" (SLAYER), "Darkness Descends" (DARK ANGEL) or "Bonded By Blood" (EXODUS).

Mille & Co. for the first time had a really good production. The famous Randy Burns was responsible for it. Shells like the mighty title song, the poisonous "Betrayer" or "Some Pain Will Last" belong definitively to the best in Thrash Metal. At that time, KREATOR were on the top of their career, whereby their following record "Coma Of Souls" could hold the high level!

An album without blackouts, without ballads and without keyboards! This never happened in extreme Metal before. Thank goodness! Bang your fucking head! (Online September 13, 2002)
