Reception
Gods of Violence received positive reviews upon its release. Writing for All About the Rock, Fraser Wilson said: "With this record, Kreator have created a slab of truly eviscerating aural perfection. Thrash may have been born in San Francisco’s Bay Area, but it was perfected in Essen."
Gods of Violence debuted at number one on the German charts, making it Kreator's first number one debut in their 32-year recording career.
