From the moment of my introduction to Anaal Nathrakh, I have always considered In The Constellation Of The Black Widow to be their best work. I sense a change on the horizon.

Stab me with hate
Enforce my fate
Pain's my belonging
To death I am longing
The death I desire
The dead I admire
See no more illusion
Just thy persecution

So finish your work
Stab me with fork
Torture with knife
End useless life
Slit all my wrists

Nothing good ever came of Kvarforth guesting on an album.

They revealed a snippet before and, if I remember correctly, it sounded like The Codex Necro and In The Constellation Of The Black Widow fused together.

I didn't mind the Benighted feature to be honest. Although that was more so because of how the band accommodated him by changing their sound for that one section of the song.

I am more curious about the kind of song he's going to guest in, rather than how he's going to wreck it.

I love Kvarforth when he stays in Shining... Anything else results in absolute failure.

Same here. Although I haven't listened to a Shining album in six years. But I used to love them. But anyway, it'll be on one little song, and we'll have ten more tracks to enjoy.

I love what he did with Kistvaen. Definitely not a failure.

I'm sure they prepared something crazy for him so I'm looking forward to it.

Sounds pretty fucking light and fluffy. A bit dissapointed, but a decent release.

Anaal Nathrakh are one of the most interesting extreme metal bands at the moment. Great album!

Being more of a prog kinda guy, I never expected two extreme metal albums to be my favorites this year (this and Septicflesh's Titan). Forty mintues of brutal awesomeness .

Doesn't sound noice to me. Just as average as Vanitas, maybe even more so.

Maybe I'm doomed to never like anything by this band sans the debut because nothing's even come close to it.
