KREATOR bassist Christian Giesler has unveiled the Speesy Bass via Mensinger Custom Guitars & Basses. According to a press release, "the ebony fingerboard with Kreator rosewood inlay and white binding turns the instrument into a piece of jewellery! The solid maple neck sits in a two-maple body with transparent, glossy blue-black paint eyes on a beautiful flamed maple veneer on the front and rear. This instrument was certainly not built for showcase, it will be used for nearly 90 concerts on Kreator's comprehensive upcoming tour. The Mensing Speesy Bass will be showcased at the upcoming Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany on April 1st-4th, 2009."

Hordes Of Chaos was recorded at Berlin’s Tritonus studios under the direction of producer Moses Schneider. Schneider is renowned for his fresh and exceptionally dynamic working methods with bands and artists such as Beatsteaks and Tocotronic. “We consciously decided on Moses as our producer for the live recording of the basic tracks at the studio,” band mastermind Mille Petrozza explains. “This was the first time since Pleasure To Kill that we worked in this way. The new album is a 100% realistic reflection of Kreator’s live qualities. Instead of exploring every little detail to sterile perfection with the help of computer technology, this time around we wanted to deliver as dynamic a production as possible. There can be no doubt that we’ve achieved our target in Hordes Of Chaos.” The album was mixed in London by Colin Richardson (SLIPKNOT, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, CRADLE OF FILTH).
