Kreator The Big Teutonic 4 2012
EP
The Big Teutonic 4
The Big Teutonic 4 is an EP by the German thrash band Kreator, released on 22 December 2012 through Nuclear Blast. The title nods to the country's four leading thrash names, and it arrived in the same year as the band's album Phantom Antichrist.
Within Kreator's story, it sits between Hordes of Chaos in 2009 and Gods of Violence in 2017, a stretch in which the band kept up a steady run of studio albums after returning to full-throttle thrash with Violent Revolution in 2001. It is a small release, best approached by fans who already know the band's records and want a snapshot of Kreator at the end of 2012.
