Scenarios of Violence
Scenarios of Violence is a compilation from the German thrash band Kreator, put out by Noise Records. It arrived in the middle of the band's catalogue, a year after Cause for Conflict and the year before Outcast, and gathers material from their Noise years in one place.
The set is more than a simple run through the back catalogue. It includes two songs that had never been released, while a number of the older tracks were remixed by Siggi Bemm and Mille Petrozza, and others were digitally remastered by Bemm. There are also live recordings made at the Dynamo club in Eindhoven in 1988. For listeners who know the albums, the fresh mixes and the concert cuts are the draw. The record is released as May 1996.
