Kreator – Hordes of Chaos

“Hordes Of Chaos”, the new Kreator is definitely darker than “Enemy Of God” and probably less easy of access. On a side even if the release features pure hits like “To The Afterborn” or “Hordes Of Chaos (A Necrologue For The Elite)”, the whole album is dark and didn’t give me the same feelings than “Enemy Of God”. It’s not really easy to explain it but if the previous release gave violent and revolutionary feelings, this one is more naughty and angry. When you’ll listen to “Hordes Of Chaos”, you’ll become “evil”, we don’t laugh with this release (especially when you read the good lyrics). But “Hordes Of Chaos” is melodic nonetheless and for sure, this CD follow the road of the two last previous albums. If you don’t like the new Kreator, I don’t think that you’ll like this release especially if you don’t like melodic Thrash, but don’t worry too, the amazing devastating riffs are still there and the guitars soli are better than ever. No really, the melodies of “Hordes Of Chaos” are great and all the songs of the album are pure blasts!
