Free Music Review: 12th on my best of 2006 list
Hit: 5 Stars
Holy headbang, Batman! This cd is the aural equivalent of running with scissors. Any good parent of a small child would snatch this cd right out of the rug-rat's hands while uttering the clich? phrase "you'll put your ears out, kid!"
Anaal is a dirty black metal, thrash / sorta grindcore outfit from the UK made up of two guys named Irrumator and V.I.T.R.I.O.L, and has in the past utilized a programmed percussion section to manufacture the brutal, crushing wall of noise that are their trademark. For this album, they supposedly have recruited a live drummer. Whether or not this is the case, or even whether this guy has biomechanical arms, the result is pure smashing, relentless, blast beat grind.
I have to admit that grindcore or thrash have never been my kind of thing. This band, however, seems to be able to blend in just enough black metal "The Necrogeddon" and melodic death flavor "Waiting for the Barbarians" / "When the Lion devours both Dragon and Child" to make me not only like this, but get it on my list.
The album kicks off with plenty of black metal riffing courtesy of Irrumator and V.I.T.R.I.O.L screaming like his ass is on fire. The "machine" is doing its thing. Whether the "machine" is an actual machine or Danny Hererra (Napalm Death), I cannot be sure. All I know is that it is going at least 300 plus beats per minute. There are many songs like this. But wait! Something new! There are a few songs on this album that aren't a relentless barrage for a second or two, (The Yellow King), and they are good! There are (gasp) some clean vocals in there too (Timewave Zero / When the Lion...). This is interesting, very different for this band. -Ok, back to the scull pummeling with the next track. I was just starting to miss it. I'm so screwed trying to review this band. I guess I'll just have to wait, hear them live, and see if their drummer explodes.
