Kreator (who early on went by the name of Tormentor) rose to prominence in the mid-eighties, joining Sodomand Destructionas the top-ranked German thrashbands of the decade. But the second half (at least until 2001) of Kreator's career has not been so successful. Founder Mille Petrozza's attempts to broaden the band's sound (most notably on albums such as the industrial-tinged Renewal) have met with some critical acclaim but not commercial success, as hardened fans seem to have become disillusioned with straying from the raw, frenetic thrash that made winners of albums such as Pleasure To Kill. The addition of guitarist Tommy Vetterli, late of Coroner, in 1998 sparked renewed interest in the band, but the resulting album, Endorama, was even more perplexing, further distancing itself from its predecessors, and arguably underutilizing the talents of Vetterli. 2001 was the comeback year for the band, with Mille and company (including new guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö, replacing Vetterli) returning to the sound of old.

Europe After The Rain Lyrics
Kreator
------------------------
Indecisive government
Regardless of brutal punishment
Indestructible regiment
Twice as many lives
Perversion never too bizarre
Can't remember who we are
Influenced us to get this far
Emotions paralyzed
Monotony provokes the escalation
Terrifying industry protect departed nations
Can't get back together again
Leaving Europe after the rain
Acceptance of neo-fascist
Persecuting anarchists
Put the wrong ones on the list
Let the new age begin
Monotony provokes the escalation
Terrifying industry protect departed nations
Can't get back they're going insane
Leaving Europe after the rain
Can't look at the world the way
I did before, can't ignore
They've all mutated into materialistic parasites
Can't forget the pictures I saw on television
Can't close my eyes on this abstract spectrum
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Forcing them to support without asking
Imprisoned in factories for a lifetime
Reasons are becoming meaningless
Optimism leaves the bitter taste of hopelessness
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Monotony provokes the escalation
Terrifying industry protect departed nations
Can't get back together again
Leaving Europe after the rain
A complex keeps the industries
In motion, for some new disease
Bound to those who still resist
Yet harder to find
Monotony provokes the escalation
Terrifying industry protect departed nations
Can't get back they're going insane
Leaving Europe after the rain
