Album
Enemy of God
Enemy of God is the eleventh studio album by the German thrash metal band Kreator, released on 10 January 2005 through Steamhammer. It arrived in Europe and South America on that date, with North America following a day later. It came after Violent Revolution (2001) and before Hordes of Chaos (2009), placing it in the stretch where the band were firmly back in thrash territory after the experiments of their 1990s records.
A reissue followed on 27 October 2006 under the title Enemy of God: Revisited. It came as a digipak with a 5.1 surround mix, two bonus tracks from the Japanese edition and a bonus DVD, which makes it a handy way in for anyone who wants more than the original running order.
