Cause for Conflict
Cause for Conflict is the seventh studio album by German thrash metal band Kreator released on 1 August, 1995.
The album continued the experimentation with industrial music that they started on previous album, Renewal, but brought back more of their thrash metal sound and also saw the band experiment with groove metal. This was the only Kreator album to feature Joe Cangelosi as the replacement of original drummer Jürgen "Ventor" Reil, who would return to the band in 1996. This was also the band's first album to feature bassist Christian Giesler and the last to feature guitarist Frank "Blackfire" Gosdzik.
