      Of horror and the black shawls is my all time favourite song. It s SO therapeutic for me it s unbelievable. And requiem even kind of resembles it in terms of song structure; basically song w/ few lyrical content and then long riff-heavy instrumental. It s even inspired by Mozart as well (horror had lacrimosa in the background) , so bonus points for that too.

    I can’t help but hear Soilwork in the chorus of the opening track, and I don’t mean that as either an insult or a compliment. Just something that I noticed. Either way, Anaal Nathrakh is a band that knows how to make tweaks in their overall sound, no matter how small they might be, to make each album have a different tone, despite sounding similar compositionally. I really like that about this band

    The Whole of the Law and Hell is Empty are just there, but this might be THE ONE. Especially for all that it means, the message it conveys so accurate and "in point" with the times we are living and how it approaches to it with so many also accurate and creative references and even recent anecdotes that clearly portray the status quo of humanity. And it combines so many elements of so many styles and from their prior albums, taking all of them to rare levels of brutality, touch, taste and sensitivity. It's obscure but "coruscating", as Mick himself said. This is really a work of art. "Fiat ars, pereat mundus."

      Did you miss The Whole of The Law? But yeah, the album is great, less industrial than couple last albums therefore a bit reminiscent of some older ones.

    I listened to nearly 100 albums this year, I'm not even kidding, but this one is definitely on my top 5!
    INCREDIBLE ALBUM from beginning to end!!
    We'll have another release from Make Them Die Slowly later this month as well!! In case you don't know an Anaal Nathrakh side project. you should check it out if you love AN. They released their album Ferox in May, it's amazing This year breathes apocalyptic metal!

    I tried to do squats to this. But it's too heavy. I broke a hole and now I am lost in the basement.
