Grinding black metal psychopaths Anaal Nathrakh have apparently completed phase one of their next planned assault upon our sorry souls – their next album and follow-up to 2007's disturbingly good Hell Is Empty And All The Devils Are Here is completely written.
According to the band,
"Mick has finished writing the next Anaal Nathrakh album and is currently deep in the belly of Necrodeath studios hammering it into shape. Vocals will be recorded in February by Mr. V.I.T.R.I.O.L. and we hope for the album to be released in June."
If you haven't heard of this band yet, you're only cheating yourself. As the band themselves say,
"Anaal Nathrakh was created for one purpose – to be the soundtrack for armageddon, the audial essence of evil, hatred and violence, the true spirit of necro taken to its musical extremes."
A cataclysmic blend of grindcore fury, death metal brutality, and icy cold black fucking metal, Anaal Nathrakh first hit US shores this past year at the last Maryland Death Fest, and gave a performance that caused the crowd to more or less collectively shit its pants. They're that good.
Black metal, grind, misanthropic hatred, and, of course, Satan: What's not to love?
