The album title definately says it all. Kreator's 1989 release "Extreme Aggression" is super fast, super heavy, and of course super aggressive. I got this album over the weekend, and I really like it alot, it's so awesome. This is without a doubt one of Kreator's best albums ever, and it's already one of my favorite Kreator albums as well. This album truly has it all: Aggressive vocals, killer guitar riffs, awesome solos, lightning fast drums, what more could you ask for. Mille Petrozza's vocals are super aggressive and extremely awesome. Together he and Jorg Trzebiatowski deliver lots of great riffs and killer solos throughout. Rob Fioretti has got some really cool bass lines that are well heard, and Jurgen "Ventor" Reil's double bass drumming is lightning fast and will make your heart pound with sheer excitement. The first track "Extreme Aggressions" is a very fast aggressive song and a great opening song too. Other fast speeding headbangers including "No Reason to Exist" and "Love Us or Hate Us" both keep the intensity going. "Stream of Consciousness" is another favorite which is inspired by the book "Seth speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul". "Betrayer" is also another thrashing classic, and it's also one of the band's best songs ever. I'd also like to see the music video to that song too. Favorite Songs: ALL OF THEM OF COURSE!! So anyways if your looking for some super fast thrash that you can bang your head to, this album is definately your ticket to Extreme Aggression. ALL HAIL KREATOR!! Buy this album now. For other great thrash bands from Germany, check out Sodom and Destruction too. ROCK ON!!

I can't believe no one has reviewed this yet. This album is f*ckin' incredible. It's so simple, but it is amazingly catchy. The title "Extreme Aggression" doesn't begin to explain the true amount of aggression in this music. This was the first metal album I ever got back in when I was in about 7th grade (like 10 years ago)and it still stands the test of time. What have you got to lose? You can usually find this album used or in the bargain bin or something so go find it.

I cant believe the average 3.5 stars for this album....This is pure thrash masterpiece.
Extreme Aggression is Kreator at its technical brilliance that peaked up later in Coma Of souls.
Check this cd out. Songs like Extreme Aggression and Some Pain Will Last alone is worth the money for this cd

No fillers here! Kreator's best. Excellent production and mix! Betrayer, Some pain Will Last, and the absolutely awesome Don't Trust! There are no bad songs here. pure Kreator thrash that was once on Sony records (believe it or not they had a major deal for a while). This cd is up there with 'Reign in Blood' as one of the best thrash cds ever! No BS!
The reviewers aren't exaggerating. this is great.

Man, this disc makes me feel old. I orginally owned this on cassette. What's a cassette? Ask your mommy!
Anyhow, I recently gave this disc a spin after many time years of being on the shelf. It refreshing to hear this CD has held up over time. Long live thrash!
If you somehow miss this one. Pick it up.

Best tracks:
Betrayer
No reason to exist
Hell, it's all good!

I'm listening to this album right now, so I thought I'd throw a review on it, I've had it for quite a while, it's just what every Thrasher looks for, fast and furious, and nasty vocals, it kicks off with "Extreme Aggressions" when you hear that track, you know what you're in for, after that track, you can put your neck on auto-pilot, because it doesn't let up, by the end of the album, your fillings might be on the floor, it's that heavy, it's more cleaned up than "Terrible Certainty" better production, great solos, great vocals, worth every penny, no matter how hard it is to find, if you're a fan of Thrash, find it, you'll see why you've looked so long when you hear it, one of the greatest german Thrash releases ever, Kreator are kings, along with Destruction and Sodom, anyways, I'm babbleing, get this CD, you won't regret it.

Kreator are seriously one of the better german thrash bands out there (no disrespect to Sodom & Destruction). Already they made 3 classic albums (Endless Pain, Pleasure To Kill, & Terrible Certainty) and In 1989 (What a great year for metal it was) we have an all-time favourite of mine from a great band, EXTREME AGGRESSION.
This is alot better than the last album (Terrible Certainty) because the guitar solos were all over the place & a lot repetitive, but this one is alot more mature but very aggressive as what you would expect on a thrash album. Millie's vocals are sweet, pretty shreiky but understandable, the production is top-notch and the musicianship is freakin' solid.

As for the songs themselves, all of them are awesome but here are the tracks I totally reccommend:

Extreme Aggression (10/10)
No Reason To Exist (10/10)
Love Us Or Hate Us (10/10)
Stream Of Conciousness (10/10)
BETRAYER (Classic) (11/10)
and Bringer Of Torture. (10/10)

Well here you go, a classic thrash album and one of my favourite kreator albums of all time. Check this out of you like thrash metal.

Following up their classic thrash masterpiece "Terrible Certainty", Kreator returns with a near masterwork. "Extreme Agressions" finds the finest German thrash band ever, fine tuning their songs and given a tremendous production assist from Randy Burns. Gone are their excursions into allout speed, replaced by steady, meticulous timing and polished songs. "Stream of Consciousness" is the song that comes closest to their "Terrible Certainty" mania, with its out of control chorus riffing. Socieo-political themes again take the forefront lyrically, proving that there is indeed intelligence in thrash. "Bringer of Torture" and "Don't Trust" are the only songs here that I would consider weak, but the energy contained in them could power a small city. Still, those 2 songs did leave me a little flat. "Fatal Energy" and "Some Pain Will Last" are prime examples of the newer, more moderately paced Kreator. Good, strong solid songs with time changes and carefully arranged, with less emphasis on all out speed and yet, still quite angry and brutal and still featuring the trademark Kreator riff. Whilest I certainly preferred their all out assault, "Extreme Agressions" lacks nothing and is still an incredible thrash metal cd. Make no mistake about it, Kreator were on an incredible roll here, releasing 5 outstanding, incredibly influential thrash discs. Germany's finest thrash band with one of their finest works. 4 and a half stars.

This CD is what turned me onto Kreator. It lives up to its title. It is Extreme Aggression at its finest. this is the kind of CD you tear down someone's house with. this is the kind of music you listen to while driving 95mph on the freeway. it is pure, aggressive and raw. they were metal in its purest form before it was bastardized by all other forms.

My review will be brief. This record is second only to Slayer's Reign in Blood in terms of great speed/thrash metal records. If you like these genres, you need this.
