| Akercocke Rape of the Bastard Nazerene |
| Very solid album! Akercocke, of course, top this on later releases but this is still surprisingly enjoyable |
| Amon Amarth With Oden on Our Side |
| Amon Amarth Twilight of the Thunder God |
| Anaal Nathrakh Hell Is Empty and All the Devils Are Her |
This is pretty classic Anaal Nathrakh; mechanized blast beats, wonderfully grotesque vocals,
catchy and melodic guitar work, misanthropy, etc. Unfortunately all of those aforementioned
qualities are not quite at their best here, because they kicked their own asses artistically
on the following album "In the Constellation of the Black Widow". On "In The
Constellation...", the screams are even more grotesque, the often out-of-place clean vocals
are toned down a notch, the melodies are more original and wicked sounding, there is a lot
more variety, and the songs ebb and flow with more restraint and structure. Hell is Empty...
is still worth a listen though, and I recommend the last two tracks on it especially. |
