Black vinyl

The unexpected arrival of former Coroner six-string genius TommyVetterli into the Kreator fold, there to spar with foundingmastermind and resident blazing thrash guitar specialist MillePetrozza, seemed like one of the oddest stylistic pairings in metalhistory. Needless to say, observers expected one of two options:absolute fireworks, or a complete and utter failure to communicate.Ironically, they didn’t really get either one, for not only was1997’s Outcast conspicuously scarce on virtuoso guitar solos, butit also stuck with recent Kreator history in exploring sonicterritories far beyond the legendary German group’s once dependablystrict diet of pure thrash metal. In fact, though it thankfullycoalesced the chaotic ideas scattered all over 1995’s Cause forConflict into a more cohesive whole, the album resurrected some ofthe industrial elements first heard on 1992’s Renewal withquestionable results, and focused predominantly on mid-pacedarrangements that hardly approached the hyper speed of yore. As aresult, despite offering some quality songwriting via first-halfhighlights like “Leave This World Behind,” the pounding “Phobia,”and the claustrophobically slow “Black Sunrise,” the bulk ofOutcast is barely recognizable as a Kreator LP. And even ifapproached as a brand new entity, the material (particularly secondhalf yawn-fests such as the title track) is nowhere neargroundbreaking either, never mind — God forbid — exciting. Inshort, whatever artistic headway purportedly made here was renderednull and void by the commercial rejection that met its release,although Kreator would take one final stab at this direction beforereverting to the band’s trusty old ways.
