When a band releases a phenomenal debut album and then decides to follow it up with an official release of their early demo material, it reeks of a meaningless cash-in from the outset. And when that band is the UK’s answer to the future of Black Metal, Anaal Nathrakh, one wonders why they feel the need to delve back into their past. After all, what would be the point of raking through the band’s most likely mediocre collection of demo recordings in the idle hope of finding anything to compare with the extraordinary aural extremities of “The Codex Necro”? However, just one listen to the originally titled “Total Fucking Necro” completely disproves such sceptical thinking, as it surprisingly packs almost as much punch as their aforementioned debut.
