This is a review of another recording from United Kingdom's Anaal Nathrakh which continues their mixture of black metal, grindcore and industrial from their previous releases and the ep was originally released in 2003 and called "When Fire Rains Down From The Sky, Mankind Will Reap As It Has Sown" which will be re-issued on August 13th, 2021 by Metal Blade Records.
A very heavy and brutal sound starts off the ep while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and elements of grindcore can also be heard when the music speeds up.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a decent amount of industrial touches. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a small amount of melody also being added into some of the guitar riffing.
Most of the music also sticking to a very heavy and brutal musical direction along with the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very chaotic style style when they are utilized and as the ep progresses the vocals also start mixing in a more grim approach as well as the closing track also adding in a small amount of clean vocals. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover anti religion, misanthropy and nihilism themes.
In my opinion this was another 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 "Cataclysmic Nihilism" and "Atavism". 8 out of 10.
