Storming with menace... February 27, 2008
Kreator's strongest collection of songs, and their second best album. Tighter and more complex than 'Pleasure to Kill', but retaining the same claustrophobic energy. The crisp production stifles some of the bludgeoning, Neanderthal extremity, but allows the rhythmic structure and the song-writing subtleties to shine. The galloping momentum of 'Storming with Menace' and 'One of Us' fit perfectly with the frenzied chaos of 'Behind the Mirror'. Vital extreme thrash.
A Thrash Triumph! November 27, 2007
Knowing metalheads (as well as being one myself) I am betting I'll perturb a few with this review. I'm not one of those whom found Pleasure to Kill to be Kreator's best: give me Endless Pain, Extreme Aggression, and this cd WAY before that overly Slayer-influenced release. Just my opinion.
Terrible Certainty seemed to trump the other three German thrash gods
output during that period (as good as those bands were). The excellent production just seemed to push this album way out in front of Pleasure... which is interesting, because their debut, Endless... was recorded in a very raw style and overall might be their best.
I guess I should write that Terrible Certainty is produced well...in the "sick" way. At times disturbingly vicious as well as reSOUNDingly negative (in the "good" way), I would wholeheartedly reccomend this to anyone looking for a prime influence on future Thrash, Black, and Death metal releases.
My only real complaint is about something so commom in early-to-mid '80's, semi-undergound thrash that I probably shouldn't complain about it anymore: the guitar solos. The lead guitar playing on this album is only a slight notch above Euronymous, which is saying very little (as most lead guitarists out there already know). But as far as terrific songwriting, proto-Black shriek vocals, and general intensity do NOT pas this up. This ain't no "hair metal", boys!
Thrash Essential ! October 27, 2005

Kreator's early beginnings showed the band as a reckless musical unit, inspired by dark groups like Venom and Mercyful Fate, and heavy fast rock acts like Motorhead. their first few albums were crude, but showed a great technical skill and a flair for writing some pretty cool riffs. well, one listen to Terrible Certainty and it becomes perfectly clear why this band has earned it's place in the pantheon of classic thrash! this album is full of non-stop blistering songs that attack the listener with calculated speed and plenty of whiplash tempo changes. the vocals sound fierce and fit the flow of the speed perfectly. the band sounds tighter than ever before and the production is great! the guitar solos are still kind of raw and don't always add the kind of depth and melodic drama that most of their American contemporaries would pull off; but the Terrible Certainty solos sound a little bit better than on past albums. one thing i have also always loved about this album is the creepy cover art, showing two rows of skeletal religious figures along a bridge that leads to a towering demon figure with glaring eyes. awesome concept and this cover was the main reason why i bought this album in the first place (well...it was a cassette tape when i first bought this back in the day). this was actually the first Kreator album i ever bought and it remains my favorite to this day. a totally essential and monumentally inspiring thrash album of very high calibur!
It's a certainty that this CD kicks A** September 20, 2005

This album is raw, catchy, fast, furious, more raw than the album after "Extreme Aggression" Mille's bark on this one is frightning, and rules, theres not much to say about this one, every song is a keeper, not one bad tune, 36 minutes of pure mayhem, buy it!
certainly not terrible ,but in a good way January 10, 2005
