Anal Blasphemy is a solo-project of Molestor Kadotus (known from the bands Calvarium, Black Priest of Satan, Musta Kappeli, and the label Hammer of Hate) that has been going on since 2002, and this is the bands second album, Profane Fornication. Upon going through the track titles it seems that the band has toned down its filthy and even childishly crude blasphemy, but when the album starts playing it becomes clear that the filth hasn’t gone away: a bigger part of it has just now gone to the actual music, as if the band has gotten even more serious and dedicated. After the intro, which is a mockery of tv-preachers, we get to the actual music. The first song is a mid-tempo one with a heavily pounding rhythmic chorus, and brings out the bands main elements well; the distorted, grainy and slightly mistuned guitars creating simplistic but really effective riffs with some occasional higher tremolo-style solo-likes here and there to deepen and to create contrast to the lower guitar. The bass adds some extra pulse and filthiness to the songs and makes them denser, but it has to be noted that the bass is more of a background-element than a dominant one, unlike on the bands debut album. The drums are simplistic but really effective, and give the riffs a really good drive while also adding a powerful pulse every here and there – and have improved greatly from the past, thanks to the session drummer Kommander. The vocals are a chapter of their own; they vary from high, mistuned shrieks and screams to lower growling and shouts, and sound truly honest and unique all the way. They are rather high in the mix, so they might be a deal-breaker for many out there. Overall, the album is a really effective and original-sounding piece of filthy black metal. If the above sounds good to you, you should get it. Its the best work from the band to date, and especially recommended to any who enjoyed Anal Blasphemys split releases with Bloodhammer and Pure Evil. And those who love the bands music and band name will probably enjoy the filthy visual side as well.
