Anaal Nathrakh - Total Fucking Necro (2002)


Total fucking Necro is a compilation of Anaal Nathrakh's long forgotten demos and covers, tracks 1 - 4 are taken from the 1999 demo 'Anaal Nathrakh', tracks 5 - 9 track are taken from the demo that goes by the same name 'Total Fucking Necro' and the last track on the album entitled 'necrogeddon' is taken from the previously unreleased demo 'We Will Fucking Kill You', this track later went on to become 'The Necrogeddon' which is the closing track on 'Eschaton'. Two tracks from this album 'The Supreme Necrotic Audnance' and 'The Technogoat' were re -released on their first full length, 'The Codex Necro' and finally track 4 and 8, 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas' and 'Carnage' are Mayhem covers.

This album is one of those tragically overlooked masterpieces from a band who over the years have made a steady incline in popularity, featuring two of the best covers I have ever had the pleasure of hearing, and with the fear of having my head ripped off by trve Mayhem fans, they not only meet the quality that Mayhem produced, they surpass it by quite a long way. This album is an unrelenting assault on the ear drums from the second it begins to the final second played, with very little time for melody and zero tolerance for everything that exists, this record is perfect for those days when you just need to vent anger.

Total Fucking Necro also holds one of those hidden gem tracks, that to this day I am still bemused as to why Anaal Nathrakh have not re-recorded for a recent album, the track 'Satanarchrist' is the one track that utilises some degree of melody and it really is the stand out track on the album, a track that would have slotted in so perfectly on The Codex Necro.

The only thing that could probably work against the release is the somewhat sketchy production in places, I'm not talking Xasthur sketchy mind you.
