This is the first cd I've heard by these guys after hearing about them for some time and I have to say I'm impressed. Black metal shrieks, death growls and very melodic chorused vocals ride on top of some the most furious and intense metal I've heard in a while. Very nice. They remind me at times of the best parts of later day Emperor mixed with Alien era Strapping Young Lad but that's as far as comparison's go. They have a sound that is almost majestic or epic at times, coupled with an original melodic sense all the while being as powerful as the best of extreme metal should be. Intense and brutal, this album is quite a ride. The last song Castigation And Betrayal is as manic and insane as blackened death metal (or whatever you want to call it) gets.

I found out about this band while I was lazily browsing the web, and the name alone was enough to get me to take a second glance. So the first track I ever heard was Shatter The Empyrean. Unholy God, what a phenomenal song. Anaal Nathrakh pulls off some of the most extreme vocals I have ever heard. I love the concept of the band too. 2 guys, one in charge of writing music and performing it, the other guy in charge of lyrics and vocals. With so much time to put into the vocals, it's no wonder why Dave Hunt's vocals can never be called bland. Static sounding screams, high pitched black metal screams, low growls, pig squeals, it's all there. Combine that with some truly amazing riffs and you have one hell of an album. Although, to be a bit pessimistic, I must point out that this album is not as extreme as it could be - there are some clean vocals. But everything else about the album really is great, so don't let the clean vocals be a deterrant.
