KREATOR-Renewal (my review)


The first experimental album by this thrash metal storm can be for someone terrible or good.
The rest from a typical thrash metal style of Kreator has started just with this album. And this experimental insanity was continuing with Cause for conflict, Outcast and Endorama. Music of this album is, of course, not so hard. In my opinion there's a lot of interesting ideas. Through it all this is a beautiful look into the past of this band and album sounds attractively. It's an example that album have not to be fast to be excellent. Kreator wanted some change and rest from the speed. 
But on this album you can hear some fast parts too. Renewal is mainly slower, heavy, mysterious and weird. 
The greatest songs are "Winter martyrium", "Renewal", "Brainseed", "Europe after rain" and "Depression unrest". "Winter martyrium" and "Renewal" are totally the best!
Guitars plays heavy, mysterious riffs, solos and melodies. They gives a characteristic atmosphere to this album. It's an unique emotion. Bass guitar is thunderous, mournful, deep and mysterious. 
Drums, I gotta write, they are energetic, impressive cannonade. Vocals, Mille sings a little differently but it suffice for this album. Lyrics are full of insane, interesting stories in this book of music. 
Renewal is not a perfect album but some songs or parts are great.
