WHAT FANS SAY (5)▼

“I'm ashamed to admit I ignored this band my whole life because of it's name and assuming it was some lame porngrind stuff.”

Last.fm user · lastfm

“Used to be my favorite band around 8th grade, but once I settle for stuff as extreme as Whitehouse and Deathspell Omega, I was like "eh, too catchy band to match that music in intensity". Not dening its genius anywhere, just revaluating their place as musical priorities. I followd everything”

“just found out they're from birmingham. that explains everything”

“a band that plays black metal like grindcore and make it sound so awesome”

Last.fm user · lastfm

“Won't be surprised if we get a full tilt Anaal Nathrakh comeback by 2030. Kordhell will probably get stale and overused by then & Kenney will have fresh AN ideas by then, presumably.”
