Description
Originally released in 1987 on Noise Records, Behind the Mirror is a ferocious two‑track 12″ single capturing Kreator at peak Teutonic thrash velocity. The title track is pulled from their landmark album Terrible Certainty, while the B‑side, Gangland, is a ripping cover of Tygers of Pan Tang — a rare cut that has become a cult favourite among collectors. This edition is the replica picture disc reissue, preserving the original artwork and layout that made the first pressing so iconic.
Why This Record Is in the Crimson Vinyl Collection
This is one of those essential Kreator artefacts — a snapshot of the band’s late‑’80s dominance, pressed in a format that collectors obsess over. Picture discs from this era are notoriously hard to find in clean condition, and the 2018 replica gives fans a chance to own the aesthetic and the energy without the price tag of a fragile original.
For Crimson Vinyl, it’s a perfect addition: visually striking, historically significant, and a killer companion piece to Terrible Certainty for anyone building out their Kreator shelf.
