This is a review blog that critiques what is current and classic in heavy metal today. Each album is rated 1-10, one being the lowest drek imaginable, and 10 being an absolute motherfucker. I sincerely hope this helps you in your obsessive quest.

Anaal Nathrakh-Eschaton (2006)
This is more like it. While Anaal Nathrakh's debut was a noise without depth, jump forward a few years and you have a vast improvement. While the basic sound is an unrelenting hellbastard, there is much better songwriting, more dynamics, clean vocals. But despite these improvements, this album is still kind of hard to warm up to. Why? Maybe because it still sounds so processed? Maybe they're trying too hard? Maybe a little to gimmicky? Because they might turn into Marilyn Manson at any second? I just don't know. Blinding blitzkrieg battalion bullshitter of an album.
