Cause for Conflict is the seventh studio album by the German thrash metal band Kreator . It was released on Gun Records in August 1995 . The album sometimes represented a return to Thrash Metal before its experimental predecessor Renewal . On Cause for Conflict , Christian Giesler (bass) and Joe Cangelosi (drums) played a new rhythm section for the first time. It is also the last studio album with Frank Blackfire on guitar.
Origin and style of music
There were about three years between Renewal and Cause for Conflict , which was also due to the exhaustion from long tours. In addition, the label changed from Noise to Gun Records during this time . In addition, two new band members had to be integrated with Christian Giesler for Rob Fioretti and Joe Cangelosi (previously with Whiplash ) for Jürgen “Ventor” Reil. The latter was said to have drug problems before leaving. The record Cause for Conflict , recorded with Vincent Wojno in Burbank , California , shows a musical return to a musical direction that Kreator is used to, but vocally the record does not quite reach the shouting of the early albums.
reception
Eduardo Rivadavia from allmusic.com called Cause for Conflict the "most confused and confusing" album in Kreator's career, and one of the least popular. Attempts have been made to combine the latest experiments with the faster, but stylistically more limited music of the past. The faster pieces on Cause for Conflict, however, sound “forced and not convincing”. The album was rated three out of five stars. Frank Albrecht from Rock Hard , on the other hand, praised it very much and awarded 9.5 out of 10 points. He spoke of a “club from the Extreme Aggression brand ”. He particularly highlighted Joe Cangelosi's drumming. On www.metal.de the album was not referred to as a classic of “the band or the genre” because the “bar” of earlier Kreators releases was too high. However, they are "dealing with a first-class and important work by the Essen thrash titans". On the website www.metal-observer.com “modern” influences from Pantera and the newer Slayer were seen at Cause for Conflict . The album deserved more presence in the live setlist . 8.5 out of ten points were awarded.
Mille Petrozza described the album in an interview with Noisey.Vice.com in 2017 in which he was supposed to rate his own albums as "wanted and not able" and rated it as the worst Kreator album.
