Good stuff, I always like when they add some melody to their sound.

I think it's possible that these guys are releasing music too frequently. Doesn't mean I don't like - but I could really do with another Vanitas level release.

I love these guys, so it doesn't bother me that they release albums on a regular basis. I wish more bands would do it.

the last thing they released was in 2018, how is this any different than the album cycle for 95% of the rest of the music industry

I love this band but I haven't been excited by a new release since Vanitas.

Props to Mick for calling Michael Gove a sinister gnome though.

I still believe bleach can help save lives

Libidinous (A Pig with Cocks in Its Eyes) m/

the uncensored cover is literally a pig with penises for eyes

They haven’t released anything good/consistent since “In the Constellation...”, this will be no different. Track makes decent use of their tried and tested formula though. Refrain sounds like it’s from a Pop song.

Eleven albums in, and not a single karaoke track to show for. Oh well...

"how is this any different than the album cycle for 95% of the rest of the music industry"

It's not, but when every album is average to 'okay' since 2012 there's enough to call for a quality over quantity approach?

>They haven’t released anything good/consistent since “In the Constellation...”

objectively bad take

"objectively bad take"

everything since Constellation has been utter milquetoast

I agree with most everyone else, half the bands teeth are missing since 2012. They aren't as violent as they used to be and that's a sad thing.

Wish they'd do another song like Castigation and Betrayal.

Been a long time since I've checked anything from this band but this didn't click with me much.

Sure, it is almost as metal pop song, but I find it fucking awesome. I just hope they don´t get rid of the electronic ingeredients on the new album. Instant buy for sure.

Vanitas and Whole of the Law are two of their best albums.

The contrast between the statement about Enlightenment-era values and the track title "4. Libidinous (A Pig with Cocks in Its Eyes)" just gave me whiplash lmao

@Malcontent: Gotta stay edgy, obviously.

The best Anaal records will always be Codex, Hell is Empty, Constellation, and Vanitas. I need the punishment.

Man the cleans on this are legendary! Excited for this to come out!

Anaal Nathrakh Power Metal is what this is

exactly what i expected when i saw the news, cleans are actually pretty cool this time

drum machines are still as inhuman as ever, which is a plus

Did he mean "anecdotally" rather than "empirically"? Doesn't make much sense otherwise, right?
