Thirteenth album already and over 25 years of career. No need to beat around the bush. KREATOR with Phantom Antichrist releases one of the best albums of 2012. A record more bloodthirsty than its predecessors. You can feel the band is on fire, enjoying boundless internal coherence. Here is a true, beautiful THRASH album, in which its leading figures prove capable of delivering yet another splendor. Massive, physical, and rather melodic, PHANTOM ANTICHRIST has plenty to delight. It shows KREATOR in a period of total resurgence that is a pleasure to hear. MILLE PETROZZA is to this day one of the greatest charismatic figures in Metal, both on stage and in the studio. A furiously good album that has that extra something the previous albums perhaps lacked. An explanation likely lies in the production, which smells of spontaneity, brutality, and modernity. The screams are a perpetual declaration of war that one never tires of.
