The American Nihilist Underground Society, or A.N.U.S., is an organization known for spreading its interpretation of the philosophy of nihilism, and for its website, www.anus.com, containing extensive and elitist coverage on heavy metal music.[1][2] The website also hosts the USENET-based Heavy Metal FAQ,[3][4] and has a page titled "Altar of Unholy Blasphemy", which includes a close-up of a person's anus, with two hands opening it widely and showing an illustration of Jesus with a dollar sign on his forehead inside.[5] The organization was started in the 1980s by several persons from River Oaks.[6] On the Internet, it existed as bulletin board system postings in 1989.[7] According to one of the organization's founders, Spinoza Ray Prozak, who formerly hosted a radio program titled "Oration of Disorder" on KSPC 88.7,[8] "A.N.U.S. organization exists to produce thought which will lead humanity to a better time".[9]
