Domine Non Es Dignus is the second studio album by British extreme metal group Anaal Nathrakh. It was released on 2 November 2004. The title translates to "Lord, you are not worthy" in Latin.

Contents

Background

The title "Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light" comes from the Dylan Thomas poem "Do not go gentle into that good night". The album features sound samples from films such as Hellraiser ("Revaluation of All Values …") and 1984 ("Do Not Speak"). [1] The title "Procreation of the Wretched" is a tribute to Celtic Frost and their track "Procreation of the Wicked". [2] The title "Revaluation of All Values …" is in reference to the transvaluation of all values (Umwertung aller Werte), a central concept in the philosophical project of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, [3] which includes reevaluating humility and poverty as being virtuous in value systems such as Christianity.

"This is not a happy album. It is bitter, vengeful, sarcastic, sardonic, violent, terrified and horrified — terrifying and horrifying in equal measure. Above all, it is human, and all that that entails. It's as sincere as we could make it. There's a lot that goes into our albums, of course, but it all comes about as a natural result of who we are, and for A New Kind of Horror we felt early on that it was clearly its own thing. It doesn't have to stand in comparison with anything because to us it's in a class of its own."

Vocalist Dave Hunt said of the album, "I think in terms of feel, it's brighter, more open and direct than maybe we've been in the past. Obviously I don't mean it's happy-go-lucky sounding, or suggestive of a sunny disposition. I mean something more like it burns with light rather than glowers with darkness. It's coruscating." Most of the music was written by Kenney in less than a week.
