Anaal Nathrakh - Endarkenment - Reaction / Review

[@captainmidnight364]

Glad you finally got around to this. Love seeing people's reactions to AN's music once they get over laughing at their name.

[@kevinfitzpatrick444]

Mate. So glad you've done Anaal Nathrakh. Birmingham's absolute finest. Dave hunt on vocals is an absolute monster, he can do operatic stuff through to full on gut wrenching screams without effects. Got yourself a nice 20 year back catalogue to start ploughing through if you like this

[@herglawrmr33]

This band kicks so much fuckjing ass it's hard to put into words

[@musicformadmen]

The name of the band is a misspelled version of anáil nathrach which in irish means serpents breath. Its taken from the movie excalibur

[@jerrym8632]

Their album In the Constellation of the Black Widow is one of my favorite extreme metal albums ever. It sounds like what the apocalypse would sound like.

[@-Zer0Dark-]

"...WI--DOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" Gets me every time. 😈

[@hersheypants731]

Great album. It's right up there with Domine for me

[@dovdar]

Great album, Im not the biggest fan of AN but this one won me over, bought it on vinyl just to be extra special.

[@Noki_Kelevra]

I love how everybody I've seen listening to this song/album is like 'this shit slaps' during the beginning, has their eyes pop out of their sockets during the clean part and then immediately goes to 'holy shit it's even better like this'

[@marceldouwstra5847]

This new album is even more versatile than the last one.. love it! \m/

[@AnimetalViking]

The Whole Of The Law is my favourite album by this band. I'm so glad you finally checked this band out.

[@-Zer0Dark-]

Same. I love all of their albums, but it's the only one that I love from beginning to end. It's got such a darkness to it. 🤘🏻

[@metalwarrior7679]

Anaal Nathrakh honestly blew my mind with that song

[@warweasel2901]

Yes!! So happy you reacted to this!!

[@Ahris22]

I don't know why i remember this but 'Anaal Nathrakh' is what Merlin and Morgana chants when they summon dark magic in the movie 'Excalibur' haha. :)

[@guigoroable]

your lust will hold you up, you will ride on the dragon's breath!

[@BlackMetalButterfly]

Do more of them! ;) Screaming Of The Unborn and More Of Fire than Blood or Hold your Children Close And Pray For Oblivion

[@bombalur]

Obligatory First :P Keep it Up Galacticriminal, Love the vids!

[@TheBurningVice]

Try The Age of Starlight Ends by Anaal Nathrakh. This is gonna be one hell of an album.

[@andimarment5168]

i feel the new album will crack the planet in half

[@pikeybot]

@@andimarment5168 I got this album the other day and its blown my ipod allready lol

[@sadom87]

Album of the year in my opinion

[@herglawrmr33]

HAHAHA I scrolled down...scrolled back up and you had sunglasses on

[@ChrisLP980]

Thanks for showing the Nathrakh some love. They're an amazing band.

[@Swampk1ng]

YES, you gotta listen to them more. They're amazing!

[@fsava6324]

Im glad you reacted to this song, this song is the song of 2020 haha!

[@amisanthrope247]

Happy to see that you appreciate this band. AN has a lengthy discography, I own them all & they are all great. One I would like to recommend first is the whole of the law. One of my favorites. If you can find the collectors edition (CD), it comes in a hardback book with a phenomenal cover of Iron Maiden's power slave tacked on at the end. 🤘🏻

[@peteredwards2318]

When I want to travel in the glittering void, I listen to Devin Townsend. When I want to eat, shred and mutilate every star visible from Earth while I'm out there, I listen to AN.

[@DreadnoughtMetal2006]

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

[@kyle4ek]

Imagine not knowing a thing about Anaal Nathrakh in 2020... nah, impossible.

[@GaaaageE]

I just learned about them a couple weeks ago and I feel like I found what’s been missing my entire life

[@kyu9649]

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you check out some of their 2016 and 2009 stuff too. Good start would be the following tracks: - Hold Your Children Close and Play For Oblivion - More Of Fire Than Blood

[@BlackMetalButterfly]

Yes!

[@herglawrmr33]

The band's name is Irish for snake's breath (anál nathrach) and was taken from Merlin's Charm of Making

[@Cobhcrew22]

Yes finally, AN on your channel. 😁 👌🏼

[@senttipede]

i get goosebumps from this song my favorite band

[@bojanmajic]

"A Gadarene charge"....since you have mentioned the video/animation and how you like the message...it's biblical...literally...Mark 5, 1-18 is the background. I dig that...

[@hairychris444]

Dave Hunt, the vocalist/lyricist, has a philosophy doctorate. Which... makes sense.

[@Dinie09]

Great video, great vocals, fun song

[@kimesmore5552]

YESSS!

[@XanatosInEx]

"Forward!" is another title by the band check it when you feel like it

[@themightyx2y230]

One of my top 10 of 2020 ! You should try some Benighted (brutal death grind) from France, you'll love the video clip of Leatherface ;)

[@mothman7774]

Kick ass review/reaction!! Song hits hard!!

[@chrisp.14]

Anaal Nathrakh in one word: BRUTIFUL!

[@scart-69]

As a Fellow Ranga (Ginger/Redhead) & Metalhead, I fully endorse this Beard & the words it utters forth. Also, dunno if you've done Rotting Christ but they got some brilliant shit.

[@kuismase]

Been fan of this band on years , i have seen them live too

[@ryanguzman3203]

If the end of the world is imminent, Anaal Nathrakh is what you play...very loud.

[@sw33tk1ll3r]

Epic track by AN, they get better and better every album!

[@Damian5401]

Now that is a fucking good band black/death metal they have progresed a lot

[@markfinch379]

Now checkout Fukpig!

[@bidcs_]

now youve put your foot in the water could we maybe get more anaal songs reacted too?

[@Simbstah1]

Obscene as cancer has a great video too!

[@rxhx]

ok i found my new favorite song

[@bodenlosedosenhose1590]

Anaal Nathrakh is actually a term in an artificial language from the movie Excalibur and means Serpent's Breath. No idea why they chose it, though. Interesting fun fact: the wrestler The Undertaker once had a music theme (during his Ministry time at the end of the 90s) that uses quotes or so from that movie, including the words Anaal Nathrakh. Found that pretty hilarious. Also, to me this is the extreme metal song of the year so far. Gonna be difficult for any band to top that. Hopefully the album can deliver just as much.

[@wastelander1015]

Their "The Codex Necro" album is probably the most extreme thing ever created in metal. Check it out!

[@VEKTOR-qi9tm]

In Constellation of the Black Widow Is fucking extreme, in my opinion on the same level of brutality of The Codex Necro

[@eulerianpath6355]

You should do a Anaal Nathrakh album review for their album Vanitas

[@MegaXXL75]

Please make a new Review with their newest Song "The Age of Starlight Ends"

[@paulcarbis6436]

This is about the 3rd time I've heard this song & it just gets better & better 🤘🏼

[@kuroinamida4630]

known this band for some time now but never really checked'em out bc it was too extreme/chaotic for me. Then this song came around and the Cleans really surprised me, didnt expect those at all

[@patrickouellet]

This is song is like an anthem. So good !!

[@MrMctuck]

I remember seeing these at Bloodstock Festival in the UK 2012, they headlined the Sophie tent and were awesome. It was also my first pit in ages, the pain was worth it

[@ChamindaKeragala]

Checkout their early work such as When Humanity is Cancer Album, it’ll crush your soul

[@metalflower9543]

They're awesome!

[@TheJSherriff]

Finally. Your seeing my citys class and power lol sorry im years late... lol

[@kylehoskinson6901]

Great song. Bad-ass hoodie.

[@Moonchilddbk]

How are you dude, long time not see ing you. Greetings from Dubrovnik, EU

[@feroxk.9266]

A quote from the Singer about the record/Lyrics. nothing to do with trump and BLM: "There has been, and continues to be, increasingly widespread rejection of Enlightenment-style values such as rationalism, skepticism, the rejection of faith in favour of judgements dependent on empirically verifiable phenomena and so on. There are local versions in many places, but in our native UK, this was summed up by politician/sinister gnome Michael Gove's famous claim that we've 'had enough of experts'. Thus we enter the age of endarkenment."

[@matthewgodding777]

I mean, it's fairly obvious from the video that it's something to do with Trump. He is the grinning, shit demon avater of exactly Gove and Johnson's bullshit. The song itself on a meta level is about the rejection of civilisation by a society. Dave has said how it this horror is reflected in Britain at the moment. The video shows how it's reflected in America. I fucking love "sinister gnome" btw. Could you imagine someone you'd be more likely to punch whilst they were coked up? He'd be so fucking annoying...

[@doctorkiwano]

Trump is part of it, just not the whole of it. Dave Hunt was finishing a Ph.D. in moral philosophy (in the area of meatethics and moral error theory) around the time he was laying down the vocals for this track, so it's not surprising that it refers to a broader trend in human thought than just one politician (and which will continue to do its damage long after Trump is out of the picture).

[@Mattis_FH]

This was... This was FUCKIN' EPIC! Gawd, hitting the nail and make everything bleed. Fuckin' loved it.

[@tarmotyyri6733]

They have created a perfect song to describe Trump & his voters/supporters.

[@jamieburnette2438]

Try Anaal Nathrakh - Forward .. or any track from the last album.

[@jamesnagel6264]

One of the best bands out there.

[@deviniusmaximus2131]

what a punishing song!

[@matthewgodding777]

It's quite a subtle one for them. They're not usually this cheerful or optimistic either. I'm not joking either. This is genuinely an optimistic Anaal Nathrakh song with subtleties in the messaging. And that's not to say their other music is lacking intelligence either. It's very intelligent brutality. But typically far more blunt. Like a brick in the face fired from a trebuchet
