1985–1992 Past Life Trauma
1985–1992 Past Life Trauma is a Kreator compilation released in May 2000 by Noise Records. Mille Petrozza, the band's singer and guitarist, put the collection together himself, which gives it the feel of a personal look back rather than a label-assembled round-up.
It draws on the German thrash band's first stretch of records, running from Endless Pain in 1985 through to Renewal in 1992. Four of the tracks are rare ones, which makes it of interest to fans who already own the albums. It also works as a way into the band's early years, with Petrozza's own choices from the period guiding the listener through.
