Negative Positive
Title: The greatest band no one has ever heard of
Review: I bought a used copy of Mortuus Deus on a gamble, and I was very impressed. The album hits you with a combination thrash/black metal, mixing solid grooves with shredding guitars. Ankhelgloknar's songs have a nice epic feel, and the guitar solos are actually quite mind-blowing. The vocalist has a sinister growl/snarling style, sounding playful, melodic and harsh at the same time. The entire album is essentially a hymnal to some sort of god, "Ankhelgloknar," who represents the triumph of nothingness. Don't let the nihilistic lyrics fool you, though; I think the songs are mostly self-parody, full of over-the-top lines like, "It will crucify your brain!" and, "char... my... booooooones!" But the music is actually very good, and it's a shame Ankhelgloknar only has one album. If you like metal, then I highly recommend Ankhelgloknar.
