Pleasure to kill was Kreator's Reign In Blood.

[joenickell]

Kreator is my favorite Thrash band. Mille is legend! 🤘

[NeverReborn]

What an awesome interview with one of the biggest legends in Thrash Metal. Kreator are as relevant in the metal scene now as they were in the 80s, Mille’s songwriting hasn’t let up one bit, it is amazing. There’s some great advice here that any singer can learn from, having experienced loss of vocals during a show myself, I’ve definitely taken some notes from his experience!!!

[blosseraf]

This is a brilliant interview. Almost 30 year fan and I learned a ton! I could not imagine Kreator without Ventor on the drums. Love Mille, so down to earth.

[mr.timebombman]

Kreator was always on the top of the heap to me in the thrash genre especially in the 80's.

[deant]

I’ve listened to Kreator since they started and still loving it age 55. Cool band !

[pepejjgl]

I think What Mille says about being 100% sure to do music applies to everything. Always good to listen to this Man

[caseywatson]

I have been looooving Kreator. I didn't know much about them until a few years ago, but what a treasure trove of great music!

[pulse]

I am Always impressed by how good his English is

[zoranbl]

Love this guy for about 20 years now. A real thrash metal God! He is active for 40 years now and still going strong, not stopping at all, what a legend! Every Kreator album is great more or less. And they are still amazing live. Years cant do nothing to him or his crew. Only love and respect for Mille.

[MrACDC]

Its so cool to hear his parents were suportive for his music career.

[matthew-thomasplant]

the man who thought Status Quo was scary wrote 'pleasure to kill' 🤣

[rdevlinf]

Mille has always been one of my favorite thrash vocalists.

[RaAndTheGodsOfLoveFire]

Kreator is my musical drug. It's funny how I first learned of them. I was watching an interview with Jesse Michaels from Operation Ivy, another of my favorites. Jesse said, "Kreator is the best thrash band". I heard that and think to myself, " No, Destruction is the best". Then I had to check out this Kreator for myself. It wasn't very long before I agreed with Jesse's opinion about Kreator from that interview.

Terrible Certainty is my Reign in Blood. Absolute perfection to me.

[laszlozoltan]

so, it was Kiss huh ? I hadnt listen to them in about 40 years, but recently I rediscovered my old faves, and rather enjoyed them- understanding them better than before. It would be interesting to learn what he thinks of them now. Interesting interview. thx

[geoffprice]

I've always loved Mille's vocals. It really struck me as a kid when I started listening to them. My first Kreator album was Endless Pain and I know he wasn't the only vocalist on that album, but something about the German accent just makes their vocals perfect for thrash IMO. To me Kreator has always had perfect vocals for thrash because the vocals are very clean, you can understand every word (well almost) and the vocals aren't over strained, like too much screaming or too distorted and trying to hard, like Cannibal Corpse or something. To me, Kreator vocals have just always had the exact right "flavor" for the music. For so many extreme metal band I'll listen to them and the music sounds great and then the vocals start and ruin it all. But with Kreator, the moment I heard their vocals I just loved it and I remember being like 15 and hearing them the first time and really the vocals just blew me away and I loved the music largely because of the vocals, which was very unusual for me with extreme metals bands. So my complements Mille, be seeing you soon (4th time to see Kreator live!)

Him and Max cavalera… they both started at 16

[RayN]

The two most complete thrash metal artists live in the 80's were Petrozza and Mustaine:both composers , singers, rythm guitarist and excellent LEAD guitarist too....no other band's member could show those abilities.

[JGGuitarCovers]

The best band from Germany along with Rammstein
