Free Music Notes for Hordes Of Chaos (Ltd. Ed. CD/DVD)
Free Music Review: As the world burns
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been following Kreator ever since Terrible Certainty and have always been seduced by the passion Mille Petrozza and his cohorts have put across in each release. Mille - like Machine Head's Rob Flynn - is first and foremost a metal fan as well as a musician. He lives, breathes, sleeps and eats metal. This release is full of the usual conviction and intensity but also has more 'hooks' or catchy melodies than its predecessor Enemy of God. This is no Opeth or Agalloch. Progressive is not a common word in Kreator circles, although the terrific Outcast and Endorama albums show that Kreator can dabble in the subtle and melancholic if it chooses to. But this release absolutely smacks of freshness and virtuosity and will make you want to bounce off walls when you hear it. Well it does for me and I'm a 38 year old father of two. So there. This is probably their strongest album since Extreme Agression and for those of you enjoying the current thrash revival, this will remind you what we've been missing all these years.Free Music Review: 5 Stars
If you're reading this, you're a Kreator fan. If you're a Kreator fan you most likely enjoyed their last release "Enemy of God" and classics like "Coma of Souls" and "Terrible Certainty." If you like those, you'll like "Hordes of Chaos."This is traditional thrash metal, from a band that was there in the beginning. The fact that this CD was recorded as a band, and not one track at a time comes through as a more raw, powerful sound.
Mille's voice is the same and the riffs are all killer.
As for the DVD, it's pretty cool. Nothing ground-breaking, but it gives you a snippet (the "making of..." DVD is about 20 minutes long) of what the band is like behind the music. The end of the DVD is, however, the coolest.... but that's cause an internet posting I made on [..]about the band is shown. How sweet is that!
Again, if you like Kreator.... buy this!
Free Music Review: Kreator ditches digital, and goes analog for their new album
Hit: 5 Stars
After two successful albums, the trend continues with Kreator's newest release Hordes Of Chaos. Rather than rely on Andy Sneap (who helmed their last two albums, as well as a few live releases), the album was produced by Moses Schneider (Beatsteaks, and Tocotronic), and mixed by Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Trivium, Overkill). The entire album was recorded live on a 4-track analog tape recorder for a totally organic sound. This may be a turn-off for those who prefer the clarity of Violent Revolution and Enemy Of God, but they used the same techniques when they recorded Pleasure To Kill in 1986. The results pretty much speak for themselves. It's raw, energetic, and pissed off. If you're new to Kreator, this isn't a bad album to start with. Also check out Violent Revolution, Enemy Of God, and Coma Of Souls.Free Music Review: Continue to deliver

This band is quickly becoming my favorite. With every band stepping all over themselves to sound the same, Kreator continues to sound as fresh as ever with this album. To compare this album to 'Enemy of God', is like having your face ripped off with a war hammer instead of a broad sword (in the good way.) Although the overall sound is a bit rougher in this album, the sound is definitely more melodic as is shown in: Destroy what Destroys you, Radical Resistance, To the Afterborn and Demon Prince, which also happen to be my favorites on the album.
I often have buyer's remorse on a lot of albums I get, but if you are a fan of thrash and andrenaline music, this will probably be the best one you buy all year.
Free Music Review: EXCELLENT TRASH ALBUM
Hit: 5 Stars
I have not bought any KREATOR albums before. I listened to "terrible certainty" years ago and I like it, but never really got into KREATOR. But i gotta tell you, this albums its brutal, and reat riffs. Voice matches the brutality in the riffs and drums. I gotta tell you if you been a KREATOR fan, this album would definetely be a plus to your collection; i even like it and i am not a great fan of KREATOR. I wish they would come to Jacksonville, florida for I would definetely enjoy seeing them LIVE. Buy this album because I can tell you that this one will become the greatest ALBUM they put together. HORDES OF CHAOS ROCKS!!!!!
