While on the subject of black metal or unblack or sorrow
metal or just extreme metal sometime back I received the latest from
Hortor. Entitled Dios De Dioses (God of
gods) this 2013 release is full on musical extremism. Hailing from
Decked out in corpse paint and creating enough guitar driven
whimsy to ignite a firestorm this release is sure to please. I found this more reminiscent of death metal
than black metal. With a focus on melodies and the songs themselves if you’re
looking for atmosphere you might want to look elsewhere. For this listener I
focus on songs and melodies and production values.
The production is done well with good separation and solid
upfront guitars that aren’t lost somewhere.
The drums are prominent and quality courtesy of Michael Cook. For those
not in the know Cook drums for A Hill to Die Upon and contributed a blistering
performance to this album.
Azmaveth offers up solid extreme vocals throughout while
just rocketing on the guitar. There
aren’t any keyboards (piano yes) on this release but there are parts with
classical guitars and the occasional woodwind.
I found this to be an enjoyable release, albeit this form of
metal isn’t my favorite. Grave
Declaration might reach my cd player first but none the less this album by
Hortor was a bit of a surprise in good way.
Solid extreme music (in Spanish btw) which exalts the Lord
Jesus Christ. Bombworks Records has delievered a sledgehammer of release. Make no mistake this is the real deal and for fans of blackened
death metal this album is a must.

BAD REVIEW, A REVIEW NEED BEE MORE DEEP, HERE ONLY SAY THAT DON´T LIKE YOU THIS KIND O BLACK METAL, SO OBVIOUSLY YOU WILL GIVE A BAD PUNTUATION FOR THIS REASON. FORM ME 8.5
You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine... That's the beauty of reviews and freedom of choice. We don't all have to love the same thing. I'm sorry that you don't seem to understand that. Have a great day and Rock for Jesus!!
This cd is Awesome. I came across Hortor on Ebay and i didn't know they were a christian unblack/sorrow Metal band from Mexico like Exousia and Antestor from Norway. I bought a Mp3 download album on CD Baby since the cd wasn't available on here . I bought the self titled demo cd Hortor that came out in 2004 and a Ep entitled By The Sword of the Emperor released in 2007. Their 1st full-length also released in 2007 entitled Decapitacion Absoluta al Falso Profeta that i also Purchased on CD Baby.Next i'm gonna get their 2nd Full-Length cd entilted Ancient Satanic Rituals Are Crushed in Dust released in 2009 and this one their 3rd Full-length cd Dios de Dioses [God of Gods] released in 2013 and then i have all their cds. Check them out if u haven't This bands messege is about Our Lord and Saviour Yeshua Jesus Christ and No One Rocks Harder Than Hashem The God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob.

Jesus really loves this music and this way of singing...
