PROFANATION - Skull Crushing Violence (12" LP on Black Vinyl)
Germany | Death/Grindcore
Detailed Description
Hailing from France's ever-thriving death metal scene, Profanation are a new band of old souls. Many will recognize lead guitarist Kev Desecrator from Destr-yer 666, but he also maintains labelmates Venefixion - with whom vocalist Profane Alex has recently been added as a live member - as well as Sepulcre and Scumslaught, and fellow guitarist A.M. also plays in Regarde les Hommes Tomber. Along with drummer Sinistre, the quartet create vile, ultraviolent DEATH METAL in a most ancient manner. Of course, their debut recording says it all on the tin: Skull Crushing Violence, which is exactly what you get for 20 terrorizing minutes. Like the unholy offspring of Hadez and Necrovore with more than a hint of the eldritch grind of Terrorizer and England's Doom, Profanation whip forth a fury like few others. Everything here on Skull Crushing Violence goes into the red - as it SHOULD, to honor the promise of its title - and the intensity suitably takes on an otherworldly aspect as it flits between abyss-ward blast and grave-shoveling D-beat. Meanwhile, utterly OTT solos shoot across the record like missiles flying across a war-torn landscape. Want 666% ARRRGGGHHH?!? ?Profanation give it to you with Skull Crushing Violence!
