This album is really great. I enjoyed it thoroughly. My website also has a review of the album up on it if anybody would be interested in getting a 2nd opinion on it. www.metalzine.synthasite.com
If advertising one's own site here is unallowed, my apologies and it will be fair to delete this post.

What is so thrash about this? Sounds like Gothenburg, at least to me.

?? the vocals are thrashy and not "death style". the riffs also are melodic but also aggressive, the lyrics are "straight to your face" as thrash lyrics should be. i don't know what you mean.. could you explain why it looks like that what you think?

Well honestly, that is a pretty random description that might fit any modern metal album. I honestly don't know much about melodic death metal, so that comparison may likely be faulty, but I do know thrash and this ain't thrash. I don't mind melody in my thrash, but this is melody in something different. I guess I am just hopelessly caught in the 80s.

you... may!!!
look Violent Revolution and Enemy Of God where also thrash (more melodic for sure), but the music played in these albums was not something ordinary. They used in a new way the melody and fitted it to thrash. The same happens now. They change a bit their sound, doing something... unusual. IMO this is a very nice way to play thrash. My first impression of that album was: wow this is more melodic than EoG, but wait this is much more fast and aggressive.. I think that this is THRASH...!

Last album of the Kreator is fantastic, much better, for me, of their latest - Enemy of God. Favorite songs from Hordes of Chaos are To The Afterborn and Destroy What Destroys You, especially first one. Great song!

I didn't think it was that good to be honest. It certainly isn't special. But then again no-one is refering to it as a masterpiece right? People say it's a solid album.
I have rated this album with a 7. I think it has great bits here and there, I seem to enjoy "amok run" and "destroy what destroys you" a lot.
It is aggressive, it is thrash but it isn't particularly memorable for me.
I agree.
Dont get me wrong, I think its a good a album, but I feel there is nothing strong that stands out to me here. Kreator being Kreator, which is in my opinion one of the kings of thrash, it should be stronger.
Also, everyone saying that EOG is a weak album, I totally disagree. This album is aggressive, melodic and very catchy which makes a very good album. I feel that EOB is alot better that HOC.

This album is leagues ahead of Enemy Of God, which was a mediocre album at best, in my opinion. Hordes Of Chaos recaptures the visceral, rip-your-jugular attitude of early Kreator while keeping it interesting with more modern thrash elements. Definitely one of the band's best albums.
I agree.mixed both old and new stuff,great album!!!

Just bought the album 3 weeks ago and have been listening to it non-stop.
Kreator is for me one of the best trash bands of all time and this album is another prove that this guys are really something.
There are not many bands that started in the 80's with great albuns passed the 90's with good ones and live in the new millenium kicking asses like hell.

I'd like to buy it, but I need to know something, does it sound as gothenburg metalish as Enemy Of God? Enemy Of God is a great album, but I think it's too melodic! I never thought I would say that about an album because I love melodic metal more than anything, but this album is too melodic because a lot of the melodies/melodic riffs really aren't that memorable... The first 6 songs are the best. The other songs are good, but they have a bit too many parts that sound like parts that would fit well in gothenburg metal songs. I like gothenburg metal, but not on a thrash metal album.

Thanks for the replies everyone... :
I bought it anyway. It's GREAT and much better than I expected! It has some surprisingly great melodies! I think I prefer the melodies on it over the melodies on Enemy Of God. Enemy Of God has the better riffs though.

In my humble opinion, I think that the sonority is practically the same... There are a few diferences, but notice, Kreator in all their years of work, they continued the same in terms of music (originality)... And this album don't escapes to the normal tipe of music they produce... If you compare all of their albums, they are a little similar... Not in genre, but in originality....

you could say that EoG is a bit similar with VR because the production is almost the same. but musicaly it is not. in HoC i the band tries some new thinks but keeps the succesful formula of the last albums (stay in thrash, many melodies etc). don't forget that in Hordes Of Chaos the bands uses more melodies than ever. much more than EoG. but HoC is a much more angry album. how do they manage it if musically they are the same?

Sorry but I strongly disagree. Kreator didn't "passed the 90s with good ones".
This band was awful in the 90s. Nothing they released between "Coma Of Souls" and "Violent Revolution" worths listening to. Especially "Renewal" (one of the most stinking piece of shit I heard in metal).

This album is fucking awesome. I feel that kreator have borrowed heavily from their last two albums though. The first time i listened to it there were bits in nearly every song which made me think ive heard this before. That doesnt really take anything away from the album though. Its fast, its heavy, its melodic and its fun. Just try to be abit more original next time.

no man you are wrong. kreator are not thrash in that era but the surely worth a listen. outcast is an album with many gothic etc influences and it is very good. surely they are better in thrash but these 4 albums being different doesnt mean they are awfull. there are many people that love kreator only because of this era. and this means something. i dont agree but probably they'll have a reason..

Thrash or not, Kreator still sucked balls during the 90s from my point of view and I will not loose my time listening to the garbage they released back then.

i'd say you'd better go listen to outcast and then say it's garbage. it is a very good album. you cannot deny for example that phobia is a nice song. it's a classic.
