4.5/5 ·
Warthur
The tortured shriek of VITRIOL - possibly one of the most terrifying vocalists in black metal - heralds another outing for Anaal Nathrakh. With Napalm Death's Shane Embury guesting on bass, there's a certain influence from the death metal end of grindcore creeping in here and there, which further cements Anaal Nathrakh's credentials as purveyors of some of the most extreme sounds in metal.

As usual, they show a great knack of incorporating these sounds into their music whilst still keeping the centre of gravity within their particular take on black metal, and they also keep proceedings short and sweet. Anaal Nathrakh are one of those bands who understand that an album that's not even 40 minutes long but is a gripping, intense ride all the way through is often better than an album that's an hour long at the cost of including some filler.
