WARFUCK's "Neantification" (2013) is a sonic tempest, marking the zenith of French grindcore. The album, released on clear vinyl, channels societal discord into an auditory assault. Meticulously crafted, it captures the essence of the genre's ferocity while pushing creative boundaries.

"Neantification" Album Description:

In 2013, the French grindcore scene witnessed the explosive release of "Neantification," the second studio album by the relentless WARFUCK. Assembled in the crucible of European intensity, this album solidified the band's reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the grindcore realm.

Genesis of the Album:

Drawing inspiration from societal unrest and personal struggles, the album began to take shape as a visceral manifestation of the human experience.

Surreal album cover of WARFUCK's Neantification: a faceless man in a suit looms over an apocalyptic mob of animal-headed figures, in a chaotic, industrial landscape.

Album cover of WARFUCK's "Neantification" features a highly stylized, dystopian illustration. At the center stands a towering, faceless man in a pinstriped suit and tie, holding puppet strings in both hands, suggesting manipulation or control. His face is completely blank, which adds an eerie, dehumanized effect. He’s framed within a sharp triangular border, giving the figure a central, dominating presence.

Below him, chaos unfolds: a crowd of humanoid figures with animal heads—goats, bulls, wolves, and fish—snarl, fight, and gesticulate wildly. Some wield cleavers or raise fists; others look anguished or trapped. Their expressions and postures convey violence, fear, and submission. To the sides and in the background, dark, crumbling cityscapes burn under a smoky, storm-filled sky, reinforcing a theme of urban decay and societal collapse.

The band’s name WARFUCK appears in distressed, white block letters at the top left, while the album title NEANTIFICATION is placed in smaller type at the top right, both standing out starkly against the blackened clouds. The intense, detailed ink and watercolor-style art evokes strong themes of power, control, corruption, and dehumanization—perfectly matching the band's aggressive grindcore sound.

Back cover of WARFUCK's "Neantification" presents a stark, high-contrast design with a dark gray and black background. Centered at the top is a faded monochrome photograph of the band performing live in a dim venue. One musician is mid-action with a guitar, leg lifted, while drums and cymbals are visible in the background. The lighting is moody and intense, emphasizing the raw energy of the performance.

Below the image, the album title NEANTIFICATION is printed in bold white uppercase letters. The tracklist is cleanly divided into Side A and Side B, each with numbered tracks in white sans-serif font. Titles include "Till The Bones," "Douleur & Vices," and "Rondelle," the latter noted as (featuring Uroben on saxophone & vocals). The layout is minimal but clear, with intentional spacing and balance.

At the bottom of the cover, a horizontal band features over a dozen logos of underground record labels and DIY collectives, including Trendkill Recordings, Grindpromotion, Booze Up Records, No Way Asso, and Junky Monkey. These logos vary in style—some are gothic or hand-drawn, others punk or stark—and reflect the band’s connection to the grindcore and DIY scenes. At the very bottom center is the text: 2013 DIY CO-PRODUCTION.

Clear vinyl 12-inch LP record of WARFUCK's Neantification, Side A, with a black & white label showing the faceless suited figure from the album art.

Photograph of Side A of WARFUCK's "Neantification" 12-inch LP, pressed on transparent clear vinyl. The record has a smooth, glassy finish and faint yellowish tint, revealing the grooves and surface texture in natural lighting. The vinyl is perfectly round, with a subtle reflection across its surface forming a faint X pattern, likely from overhead lighting during photography.

At the center is a black-and-white label featuring the same haunting artwork from the album's front cover: a faceless man in a business suit, gripping puppet strings, framed in a sharp triangular motif. The letter "A" is printed at the base of his tie, designating this as Side A. The triangular framing and high-contrast drawing style carry over WARFUCK’s visual themes of control, dystopia, and dehumanization into the physical medium of the vinyl itself.

The vinyl surface displays a subtle cream tint, with visible grooved rings catching the light. A faint brownish streak appears near the outer edge, possibly from handling or pressing.

The center label features the chaotic lower half of the album’s surreal front cover illustration. This portion is filled with distorted humanoid figures bearing aggressive animal heads—goats, dogs, and fish—entangled in violent, writhing poses. Knives, claws, and grimacing expressions create a sense of unrest. Dominating the top of the label is a bold white “B”, indicating Side B. The same triangular visual motif cuts through the chaos, reinforcing the themes of control and disorder that pervade WARFUCK’s artistic style.
