What started as a small scale act going by the name of Tormentor in Essen, Germany, 1982, has since then opened the way for the rise of heavier thrash and death metal. They originally were greatly inspired by Venom, one of the first bands on the thrash scene, and took elements from their contemporaries such as Metallica and Mercyful Fate.

Hordes of Chaos is staying faithful to the band’s sound, but adds a musicality to their sound that is rarely seen in the thrash genre in general. The impressive composition of the album makes sure you are in for a surprise as you go from the highly technical audible marvels of the title track ”Hordes of Chaos (A necrologue for the Elite) or the short ”Corpses of Liberty” to the hard, brutal sound of ”Demon Prince”.

Kreator co-headlines a show april 11 at the Medley with Exodus, Kirk Hammet’s act before Metallica, and will feature Belphegor, Warbringer and Epicurean.
