Screams in the night, Anaal Nathrakh are back in business.

Title track “Endarkenment,” is a screaming and roaring battering ram of rage that defies all expectations and still somehow finds a way to keep going. It bleeds into “Thus, Always To Tyrants,” and slams down hard.

The next few songs are like a ode to death and the dirge that follows. They swan about, bleeding into destruction and madness whilst all the while smashing down boundaries. The melodic vocals that flitter through on occasion simply serve to bring about more insanity.

Concluding with “Punish Them,” and “Requiem,” was the right way to go about this, simply due to their sheer madness.

The album is out on 2nd October via Metal Blade Records.
