review by: Roberto Martinelli

This is not a new album by Anaal Nathrakh, but rather a collection of two demos. Don't think that you'll just be getting the same songs on Anaal Nathrakh's essential The Codex Necro album (review in issue #8), but with crappier production, for there are many songs here that are not found on the debut, as well as one that has never been released before. There are also two Mayhem covers, "De Misteriis Dom Sathanas" and "Carnage."

Compared to The Codex Necro, Total Fucking Necro doesn't go nearly as much for the jugular, but rather breathes much more, offering the listener a variety of pace ("The Supreme Necrotic Audnance" is still the ripper that it is on The Codex Necro). It's not better or worse, just different; although it is much easier to take all in at one sitting. Just like the debut full-length, this CD is totally fucking necro and totally fucking great. (8.5/10)
