Slayer vs Kreator. Who ripped off whom? (metal, album, Celtic)

I was listening to some Kreator songs the other day. Not only did the lead at times sound IDENTICAL to, almost indistinguishable from, Tom Araya, but the guitar soloing work was also near identical to Slayer.

The question then, is WHO ripped off WHOM blind?

For those unfamiliar with Kreator's work, here's their myspace blog: www.myspace.com/officialkreator

Listen to that first track. The band, by the way, have been around since the mid-80s. 1985 was their first record I believe.
