ANAAL NATHRAKH

 

 

Domine Non Es Dignus   (Season of Mist)

 

 This misanthropic piece of Black Metal starts with a no-less misanthropic intro: “I wish I could vomit blood on you people” what a name! With some distorted hellish industrial sound, then comes the extreme speed nightmare with a brutal sound, a voice that seems to be taken from the depths of hell, screaming growls of pure sick violence and hate, there are sometimes clean voices too, ala Pest (Obtained Enslavement) and some high tones in the vein of Ihsahn (Emperor RIP), just listen “Do not speak” (one of my favorites). This album is like Black Metal meets Industrial Metal with some hints of Grind. The whole album runs at top speed, with a remarkable distorted guitar sound, those are extremely produced, this gives most of the technologic feeling, and the drumming also has some synthetic sound, the keyboards are used in some discrete way, never abusing of their sound and the atmosphere those could create. This album has incredibly melodies, full of anger, and misanthropic feeling. The production is totally crystalline. This is the most sick Black Metal band in the whole UK. A point of comparison could be the sound of today’s Aborym, but less Techno/Industrial, more Black Metal, well, the sound of Aborym seems to be a strong source of inspiration. In the compilation “The Best of Attila” Attila Cishtar himself remixes an Anaal Nathrakh song. The band said Anaal Nathrakh was created with the only purpose of being the soundtrack of Armageddon… and definitely they are. (AP)
