German thrash metal masters Kreator toured recently to support their new release, Hordes of Chaos. Their show on a recent Thursday night in Louisville, KY did not disappoint. Opening band Warbringer was outstanding as well, but you get the feeling they are attending a "Thrash 101" clinic when Kreator begins their set. This is the twelfth studio album from Kreator and its critical reception has been quite good. If you came to metal with the early 80s thrash explosion, you will love this record. As great as some of today's non-extreme metal (Lamb of God) is, or as much as you might love death metal or black metal, thrash came first and, if you've been around long enough, you might be tempted to exclaim "that's what I mean when I say metal!" upon the wave of intensity that flows over you as Hordes of Chaos unleashes itself through your speakers.
