Artist Biography
Available in:

Michael Kenney (born 18 January 1980) is a British musician and record producer. He gained popularity as the lead guitarist of the extreme metal band Anaal Nathrakh. He now releases phonk music under the name Kordhell.

Kenney studied Illustration at the University of Birmingham.

He is a founding member of the extreme metal act Anaal Nathrakh where he started out as the lead guitarist and is now playing all the instruments. They have released a total of eleven albums since being formed in 1998.

He operates Necrodeath Studios since 1999, a small recording studio situated near the centre of Birmingham, England.

He relocated to Orange County, California, in 2007. There, he founded the clothing label Misanthropy Clothing in 2013.

In 2020 he formed the black metal band Make Them Die Slowly together with fellow musician Duncan Wilkins. They both operate under stage names. Mick Kenney as Officer R. Kordhell and Duncan Wilkins as The Void. The band was formed as a celebration of vintage gore films.

Besides those two bands he also plays in several other bands of different genres and produces music for different artists.

He also co-runs Feto Records with Shane Embury of Napalm Death fame. Feto Records have released albums by Mistress, Monkeys Are Machine Guns, Lock Up, Fukpig, Cripple Bastards, Anaal Nathrakh, and Ramesses, among others.

In 2021, Kenney started releasing phonk/Memphis rap music under the stage name Kordhell.

His first album, Beat Tape 1, managed to give Kordhell some visibility, but his first true success was with his songs "Live Another Day" and Murder in My Mind, which charted in Austria, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and is still his biggest song to date.

His success in phonk made him one of the pioneers of this new wave of music that quickly exploded on social media, such as TikTok.

Recently, he also started experimenting with Brazilian Phonk, a new combination of phonk's distorted and dark sound and brazilian funk's rhythms and vocals.
