In the Constellation of the Black Widow

The duo behind Anaal Nathrakh are Mick Kenney (Irrumator) & Dave Hunt (VITRIOL). This menacing pair is perhaps England's most hardworking musicians & intense music's most productive minds- an album a year work rate is hard to beat considering these guys play everything themselves as well as taking care of production duties. Well, you'd argue it's not that impressive since these chaps don't do live performances. We have Dark Throne to refer to in this light...

In The Constellation of the Black Widow offers 10 intense tracks, typical of AN but the tunes are moulded in the likes of what Domine Non Es Dignus had to offer; songs are black metal in essence but the grindcore elements are more audible in the mix. In this release expecially, be prepared to hear more clean vocals & passing phrases quite in the flavour of Dragonforce (em... it's a unique passing, not recurring, mind you).

I look forward to every AN release, all of which proved that the people behind the band name are very capable in terms of music. It's not a sheer obligation to be excesive.

PS: I wish blogger would be more stable in time to come. There are days when certain panel features failed to load, hence killing my enthusiasm to make this blog more up to date...
