I'll give it to you in one sentence; Endarkenment is extreme metal extravaganza, an uptempo soundtrack to the end of the world and album of the year material. Continue reading if you want to know why.

It's good and all but i can't shake the feeling that they sound like a lackluster parody of themselves.

The melodic bits really pushes through this time without the album loosing any bit of it's heaviness.The video of Endarkenment is such a great testament to the current times. In this album they have perfected their style of melodic blackened industrial metal. I also get huge Cattle Decapitation vibes from this, in that how effortlessly they seem to mix melody with absolute fucking heaviness.

Well damn...I didn't really care to listen to this right away when it came out because their previous albums have just been average for me. But wow this one is beyond amazing. Barely any fillers, very melodic yet still in your face and amazing riffs left and right.

This is easily their best album since Passion. Maybe even better than Passion (which would make it my favorite album from them).

Mad respect for a band this old to still have that many good ideas and motivation to make topnotch music.

"Requiem"'s outro is godlike. They have even incorporated in the main melody a slower version of the solo from Judas Priest's "Night Crawler".

Cannot stop listening to this album.

At the moment I'm struggling to get past the vocals. Maybe this is one I'll come back to later and appreciate more.

Absolutely brilliant. Haven't enjoyed Anaal Nathrakh this much since Eschaton.

Hands down one of the best AN record to this day.

And so jolly to see limited edition artwork. It's as soothing as taking chillum under the vintage fortress of Banaras.

It sounds like an old recording of a really brief giggle or something.

I think I represent the minority. Cant stand their music. Too much blood from my ears.

Aside from the edginess and poppish structure to most of the songs here, this is a really great album with a talented vocalist. I completely skipped over this and never thought I'd come back to check it out again but this time I heard more than I needed to to ride the album all the way to the end.

The Age Of Starlight Ends is the best song for me. Ok album but they offer nothing new in the last years...

Average release. Pretty fucking boring most of its runtime with only a few standout moments. Idk why this is getting so much praise. They 've done better in the past.
