Anaal Nathrakh - Forging Towards The Sunset


We continue in a slightly more extreme groove and remain in England.

Anaal Nathrakh are a British extreme metal band formed in 1999 who fuse black metal, grindcore, death metal and industrial music.



The name comes from Merlin's Charm of Making in John Boorman's 1981 film Excalibur. According to Michael Everson's transcription, Anaal Nathrakh means "serpent's breath".

Anaal Nathrakh began as a purely studio-based project; the band never looked to take Anaal Nathrakh to the stage. However, following a successful BBC Radio 1 live session with John Peel (as heard on the 2006 re-release of The Codex Necro), they sought to play live again, although only for special one-offs. They have stated they are not to become an ordinary touring band.

Todays tune "Forging Towards The Sunset" is taken from the seventh full-length album "Vanitas". It was released on October 23, 2012.

This clip is Live at Foufounes Electriques, Montreal
