DE PROFUNDIS – A Bleak Reflection CD
Kolony Records
Thankfully this English death/doom act is not another cookie cutter product heavily influenced by their nation’s holy trinity of Doom (ANATHEMA, PARADISE LOST, MY DYING BRIDE). What they do bring to the listener is a more aggressive progressive sound which is not boring and has some black metal touches with the vocals. Take ISOLE, OPETH and ENSLAVED blitz em and that should give you a good idea. This is a lengthy release (over an hour) so you’ll want to plan ahead to play this one because it’s an experience. In between the life crushing riffs (bass heavy) and gravel throated vocals (there are no clean vocals on here) there are calmer passages containing piano and string instruments. If there was something to complain about this release it would have to be the song lengths. The songs really drag more ass than an alligator to the point where you’re begging for something to happen or atleast end.
