Album DescriptionAvailable in:
n Anatomy of the Beast is the debut full-length album by Tokyo’s death metal outfit Intestine Baalism. Released in 1997, the record immediately stood out in the underground for its rare combination of raw, old-school death metal intensity and striking melodic sensibility.
The album channels the heaviness of early ’90s Swedish death metal, with crushing riffs, guttural vocals, and relentless drumming, yet it distinguishes itself through the use of harmonized guitar lines and sweeping melodies woven seamlessly into the brutality. This contrast creates an atmosphere that is both ferocious and hauntingly beautiful.
Widely regarded as a cult classic, An Anatomy of the Beast set the foundation for Intestine Baalism’s reputation as one of Japan’s most distinctive contributions to extreme metal. It remains a landmark release for fans of melodic death metal searching for a balance between aggression and atmosphere.
