Chosen Few is a 1999 EP from Kreator, the German thrash metal band, released through BMG. It is a short release, so it works best as a snapshot of the band at a particular moment rather than a full statement.
It arrived in the same year as the album Endorama, and it sits between Outcast (1997) and Violent Revolution (2001) in the band's studio run. For anyone following Kreator through those years, it is a small but worthwhile stop between two of the longer records.
