Piove Sangue is a very special album, as it celebrates the twenty-year anniversary of the extreme metal pioneers Hortus Animae, twenty years since the release of their first demo tape "An Abode for Spirit and Flesh" in 1998. This live LP was recorded at Banska Bystrica (Slovakia), on the last date of Total Metal Over Europe Tour Pt. 2 which the band held with the legendary German thrashers Necronomicon, of which vocalist went on stage with Hortus Animae for an infuriating version Slayers Raining Blood (from which the album also takes its title, translated into Italian). This live album highlights a compact band in great shape; it is an excellent report of what you can expect when you see them live.
