Immortal and Lord Mantis had a baby. It was Anaal Nathrakh.
Yes I know Anaal Nathrakh came before Lord Mantis, but no other band I can think of fits the description.

You try to awaken me, the flesh dripping with blood
My body is there, but my soul a perilous void
Aethereal existence coming off in ambient waves
I am nothing. I AM N1H1L.
I am incredibly happy to say that this album has been playing non stop since this morning. Damn is it good. Easily giving it a 9. Has a little more structure, not soooo chaotic. Sounds great.
Wow... I usually only give 10's to all time favorite albums, so this is only a 9. Easily the best release this year for me. This album is the definition of controlled chaos, just perfect.
This is awesome! I am not familiar wth them and this is their first album i've heard. So, are the previous albums anything similar or? I am asking because i can' hear grindcore and even black here and everywhere they are labeled as grind/black. :S Maybe i'm wrong but to me it sounds more like some sick extreme melodeath.

All of their albums have different sound, ranging from black metal, death metal, industrial metal, grindcore and crust. Shit's too extreme to give a proper genre.
So I'm checking this album out on their youtube channel and this albums sounds a lot more death metal than other stuff I have heard from them. I have Eschaton and Hell Is Empty which are both very much black by majority but this album sounds much more death metal to me, especially the drumming. I like it, I never really got that into Anaal Nathrakh but I like what I'm hearing on this album so far.
Was a little disappointed that they toned down the clean vocals. I may be in the minority, but I loved the clean choruses from Passion. Dave's voice is amazing. Still, a very good effort.
So I got the album now and am currently jamming it at home, this album is pretty fucking awesome. I'm gona have to go back and listen to the others again. Sometimes it just takes time to really get into a band's style, glad my tastes seem to have finally come around.
Speaking of that, I still fail to hear the grind that everybody talks about, I have listened to these guys a number of times over the years (but for some reason it wasn't until now that my brain finally clicked and went "holy fuck these guys are awesome, time to jam the fuck out of their discography and get very well acquainted with them!") but I have never really heard the grind aspect that so many talk about. I hear hints of grind-y moments on Domine but Codex is almost straight black metal and Eschaton and after all sound more like blackened death metal to me than grind. Every time I listen to a grind band like Nasum, Cattle Decapitation, Napalm Death, etc. they all just sound like death metal bands trying to play punk (obviosuly I'm aware that's not those bands intention but that's what I hear when I listen to them), which is why I don't care much for grind cuz I don't like punk. Am I missing something?
Death metal bands trying to play punk? The funny thing is that I listen close to no punk at all. Some bands I dig have punk elements but that's it. I never felt you had to like punk to like grindcore or that you can't like grindcore if you already don't like punk.
But yeah.... There is shittons of grind in Anaal Nathrakh. I honestly have no idea how to explain that to you since it me it's natural.
