Do not be fooled by the classical symphonic start to this album, failure to heed this warning may leave you open to be decimated by the brutal assault that is about to take place on you mind your body and your soul.

​

'Inside Infernal Anthropy Thrones' is a aural assault from Tunisian duo Devil Empire, part black metal, part extreme metal and sprinkled with symphonic and oriental tones.

​

The opening track 'procreation inferno' is reminiscent of Dimmu Borgir in its haunting synth melodies whilst still remaining totally original as a whole it is an innocent prelude to a masterpiece in its own right.

When the vocals kick in it is more of a visceral attack than an introduction, it shows you Devil Empire means business.

​

'Hostage Slogan' reminds me of early Death in its execution and delivery, its also one of my favourite tracks of the album.

​

What makes this release so compelling is its refusal to remain confined within genre borders. While rooted in extreme metal, the album resists easy categorization. Blackened atmospheres bleed into crushing death metal passages; dissonant, almost avant-garde structures coil around moments of oppressive groove

​

Inside Infernal Anthropy Thrones is not casual listening. It demands endurance and rewards surrender. For fans of uncompromising extreme metal that refuses to remain confined within genre borders, this release stands as a fierce statement of intent. Devil Empire have crafted something that is both punishing and expansive, a record that doesn’t just play through your speakers, but engulfs you entirely. It is not designed to comfort. It is designed to consume.
