Black Metal, Death Metal, Grindcore, Thrash and Heavy Metal Reviews from the net's original Heavy Metal site

Don’t change a goddamn thing. Most people have two choices when it comes to reading metal reviews: anus.com or blabbermouth.net. I’ll take the former.

I wouldn’t understand the album reviews or articles if they were watered down to appease the intellect of the masses.

as an English major and a “newcomer” to REAL metal, it became clear very quickly that DLA was THE resource for album reviews. rather than waste time bouncing around from this metal site, to that metal site, to try to learn about metal, I settled on ANUS because of the way the reviews were written. it’s the biggest asset ANUS has goind for it.

I have trouble with the reviews, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to decipher and learn from them. A parallel: the first time I read Faust, or listened to a classical symphony, I probably didn’t “get it,” but that didn’t stop me from continuing to learn, and trying again (and again).

Knowledge and learning are primary hessian values. Reading through old school death metal lyrics, one can see this quite clearly. The people who complain about ANUS’ use of language are sheep in wolves’ clothing. Fuck ‘em.

If there is a weakness, it is the way the spidery syntax sometimes breaks loose from all controls and crawls back up its own ass, in that, while concept remains lucid and context clear, a doob hit intervenes and the occasional clause slips free of its moorings to bravely soldier on without the supporting architecture of an actual sentence.
