i listen to a great amount of Death Metal, and Doom Metal, but this...this. this is probably one of the loudest, most abrasive records ever made. Anaal Nathrakh are possibly THE most heavy band out there. obviously, because of that, there's a lot of people that won't like them. however, if you like your music intense, this is the album/ band for you. i'm not a massive fan of the band, so i don't know which is their best album, or which is the most popular, but i can tell you THIS is their most intense.
