Terrible Certainty is the third, and probably the most underrated of all Kreator albums. It follows the trend of many other third albums like Megadeth's So Far... So Good... So What!, Destruction's Release from Agony, and Overkill's Under the Influence that are all underrated and overlooked. I believe Terrible Certainty is Kreator's best album after Pleasure to Kill. With this album, Kreator proved that they could follow up with the raw Endless Pain, and the brutal Pleasure to Kill. If Pleasure to Kill didn't cement them among the Gods of Thrash, this album definitely did.

The main attractions of this album are the high tempo technical riffs, the powerful drums, and the vocals. No, this definitely is not a trademark riff deprived Testament album; just about every song is recognizable by its riffs, and each song has blisteringly fast riffs to offer. Songs like "Storming with Menace", "Blind Faith", and "No Escape" have some of the most powerful and technical thrash metal riffs created by Kreator. With the new production, the sound of the drums has definitely improved. Instead of being masked by guitars, the drums can actually show off their power. In Terrible Certainty, Mille finally took the reigns of the vocals almost completely from Jurgen. His voice sounds sharper, and has more kick to it.

However, the album has much more to offer than the riffs and drums. Though many thrash fans will cringe when they hear the words "better production", this album definitely was not marred by production. No, the production did not take away from the aggression. In fact, Terrible Certainty preserves nearly all of the momentum, raw power, and aggression created by it's predecessor, Pleasure to Kill. The lyrics have also changed from complete violence and destruction a la Pleasure to Kill to a more "mature" approach which now includes ... destruction of religion and the earth. The choruses are also more appetizing this time around. Overall however, the lyrics are more catchy, and are still extremely thrashy. The chaotic solos still remain, but there are fewer solos per song in general.

However, there are small problems here and there in the album. First of all, it's far too short. Clocking in at just over 35.5 minutes, there definitely could have been more in this album. When "Behind the Mirror" ends, you think "ALRIGHT WHAT'S NEXT", but most are disappointed when there isn't anything. Secondly, I am not very big on slow intros, and "Behind the Mirror" happens to have one. Not a huge problem, but I just don't like them. A small problem with the album is that the bass tends to be put at the back, and is completely dominated by the guitars and the drums.

My favorite tracks were probably "Blind Faith", and "Terrible Certainty". Both of the songs boast ingenious riffs, blistering speed, powerful lyrics, the chaotic solos, and are definitely among the best creations of Kreator.

Overall, this album is a complete riffology, that maintains raw power, aggression, and the chaotic solos of Pleasure to Kill. It boasts many things that PtK could not, like catchier, more intelligent lyrics, catchier choruses, better vocals, better production, and the power of the drums. This album is a must for any thrash fan, and everybody else would be wise to give this album a try. This album has everything a thrash album must have, and much, much more. Remember not to overlook this album because it has so much to offer.
