This is a review of another recording from United Kingdom's Anaal Nathrakh which shows their early mixture of black metal, grindcore and industrial and the album was originally released in 2001 and called "The Codex Necro" and the re-issue will be released by Metal blade Records in June of 2021.
Industrial elements start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. All of the drum beats are programmed while the faster sections of the tracks also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while some of the faster sections of the songs also add in the brutality of grindcore. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very chaotic yet melodic style along with the vocals also getting very deep and demonic sounding at times.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the riffs also adding in a good amount of melody as well as some touches of death metal, a couple of the tracks also introduces clean vocals and movie samples onto the recording. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover Armageddon, Misanthropy, Nihilism, Philosophy and Anti Authoritarian themes.
In my opinion this was a very great sounding recording from Anaal Nathrakh and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this re-issue. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Supreme Necrotic Audnance" "Pandemonic Hyperblast" "Inciped Flock" and "The Codex necro". 8/5 out of 10.
