"Horder Of Chaos" is the newest 2009 full studio album by this thrash metal legend - Kreator that released under SPV Records after their last 2005 album entitled : "Enemy Of God". Much like other Kreator's album before, all of the 10 songs are actually catchy without compromising the integrity or heaviness of the rest of the material- the hooks are not Poppy in the slightest, but are extremely memorable, in the best possible way. Due to the fact of having that barring vocals, killer gripping guitar solos, with some ground breaking melodies brings this album up to speed putting it into overdrive sending the speed limit to a zillion! The album was recorded using a live setting 4-track tape recorder with no overdubs or anything to get in it's way putting out an record that is a true masterpiece to the thrash metalhead in you. Using the political and religious tensions prevalent on the geopolitical stage as a thematic starting point, “Hordes of Chaos” is filled with frenetic riffs, bursts of speed intermixed with moments of melody and Mille’s fluid guitar work, and a couple of well placed, soft spoken acoustical passages somewhat reminiscent of Metallica, circa “Master of Puppets” or so
In short, Kreator have delivered an excellent album and demonstrate that, like Destruction, there is still plenty of life left in classic German thrash metal.
