Synopsis: It was always going to be a challenge following up the magnificent "Coma Of Souls" but "Renewal" was hampered by Kreator experimenting with their sound and introducing industrial elements. Not that there was anything wrong with that if it worked but, unfortunately, the music seems restrained and lacking in vigour particularly when it comes to riffing or the vocals. Thankfully, Kreator have regained their spark on recent releases and, in some way, this attempt at change was probably needed but it is highly unlikely that "Renewal" would be considered in the same league as its predecessors.
