ANAAL NATHRAKH Release Tenth Studio Album ‘A New Kind Of Horror’
September 28th, 2018

Birmingham, England-based extreme metal group Anaal Nathrakh issued tenth full-length studio album A New Kind Of Horror on September 28th, 2018 through Metal Blade Records.

The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.

Vocalist Dave Hunt commented: “This is not a happy album; it is bitter, vengeful, sarcastic, sardonic, violent, terrified and horrified, terrifying and horrifying in equal measure. Above all, it is human, and all that that entails. It’s as sincere as we could make it.”

In writing lyrics for A New Kind Of Horror, Hunt drew lyrical inspiration primarily from the horrors of the First World War, contemporary politics, and the letters of D.H. Lawrence.

“There’s a lot that goes into our albums, of course, but it all comes about as a natural result of who we are, and for A New Kind Of Horror we felt early on that it was clearly its own thing,” Hunt said. “It doesn’t have to stand in comparison with anything, because to us it’s in a class of its own.”

Cover artwork was created by Mick Kenney.

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘The Road To… ’
02. ‘Obscene As Cancer’
03. ‘The Reek Of Fear’
04. ‘Forward!’
05. ‘New Bethlehem / Mass Death Futures’
06. ‘The Apocalypse Is About You!’
07. ‘Vi Coactus’
08. ‘Mother Of Satan’
09. ‘The Horrid Strife’
10. ‘Are We Fit For Glory Yet? (The War To End Nothing)’

Anaal Nathrakh’s line-up is as follows:

V.I.T.R.I.O.L. (aka David Hunt, vocals)
Irrumator (aka Mick Kenney, guitar, bass and programming)
