The Anaal Nathrakh saga continues at RMR HQ. The screams in our heads won’t subside, so we’re in dire need of a soothing placebo. Something to blast off a few pounds of mental fat in one sitting. And this band will deliver the goods, no doubt. This ain’t surprising if you have two band members, one called Vitriol and the other one – hold on to something – Irrumator. And I let you discover what in the galactic fuck this last moniker actually means. It ain’t pretty.

But boy, we’re burning through those albums with some lightning speed in … [...] Click to raid more!

Desperation levels are rising again. So, the escape valve is – you guessed it – Anaal Nathrakh all over again. Some crazed mix of Total Fucking Necro‘s horrible grind and the terrifying musings of the widow that the Kenny / Hunt team pushes straight up your derriere.

Only that this time, we’re reaching into the past. Before the constellation thing even happened, and this is a scary thought all by itself. A record spouting some protoplasmic filth about devils that escaped into this hellscape our world has become lately. Holy water and crosses won’t cure this, but then, what … [...] Click to raid more!

Whenever the RMR crew members need to lose some mental steam, Anaal Nathrakh is the go-to band. That’s where real rage happens, delivered by two true wackos. It’s like a steely high-pressure valve. And we’re all hoping that they’ll still continue for a while longer. We might soon run out of records to cover, else. This fucking crazy world of ours is wearing us out and some will need this band’s ferocity or some folks might just grab that chainsaw back in the shed.

More elegantly put, AN records are a cathartic experience that will keep those wilde beasts at … [...] Click to raid more!

So, you think that you can stomach trve Extreme Metal, right? Howling mad metal, worse than the amorphous horrors the Lovecraft wackos like to throw at you. Something so unhinged, yet still strangely refined that will make a Dodecahedron concert seem like a genteel night at the opera with civilized glasses of champagne and salmon canapés.

RMR here already had a go at Anaal Nathrakh‘s 2020 piece Endarkenment. You know, the one with the pigs and the cocks in their eyes1. And we were mighty impressed with this record. Yet, what always surpassed the levels of … [...] Click to raid more!
