Profetus - The Sadness of Time Passing (New Full Album) Profetus was formed under the heavy snows of Tampere, Finland in 2006, to perform solemn and mournful, crushing and captivating Funeral Doom - brought to existence by A. Mäkinen & S. Kujansuu. The musical idea was to bring forth their musical love for old Doom Metal and especially to affine the funeral ambience of classic Finnish Funeral Doom acts like Thergothon, Unholy and Skepticism. As a leading frame of their future work, they decided to create the sound without bass guitar and replaced it with organ which would give a monotonous and more majestic background to their slow march. Highly acclaimed by the followers of the funeral cult. The Sadness Of Time Passing is the third full-length studio album by the Finnish band, and is worth every single day of the five long years its creation took. Profetus's third studio album is a concept about time and mortality, a collection of bleak compositions to raise the awareness that everything is transient, all is impermanent. To express such idea, The Sadness Of Time Passing can be linked to the Japanese concept "mono no aware", and such link to the far east is sealed by its cover. The painting by Yuka Yoshihara, talented contemporary Japanese painter, was made using 19th century colors and old Japanese painting techniques to resemble a Finnish romantic, XVII century painting. The Sadness Of Time Passing was composed along a five-year span, a period which carried great personal losses for Mäkinen. Eventually, Profetus locked the door of their own studio, a wooden lodge in the middle of the Finnish woods, and recorded the album as a whole during one week only, in early 2018. The studio, said to be haunted by the spirits of the woods, gave a natural sound to the recordings.
This is a big album, with big songs and a big sound! Mandatory if you like: Solstice (UK), Candlemass, Solitude Aeternus, (old) Anathema
For nearly thirty years ESOTERIC have been pushing the limits of sonic intensity. From the mind-bending darkness of their 90’s double albums to the expansive epics found on their recent opuses, they have never compromised their initial aim; to unleash aural mayhem on unsuspecting listeners. Late 2019 sees the release of their most accomplished work to date, ‘A Pyrrhic Existence’. It is 98 minuts of new material, detailed and layered compositions and a high level of musicianship, foreboding production, and equal measures of utter darkness and melodic diversity.

After the acclaimed debut, THE NEGATIVE BIAS are ready to introduce the listeners to a deeper understanding of their unique musical vision, one that transcends the common idea of music as a mere sum of instruments dealing with melodies and patterns.
“Narcissus” has a visionary and majestic inspiration that prominently flows though the strings and the synth lines.
The evocative force of this new chapter is an exciting merging of 90’s Black Metal echoes and a genuine atmospheric attitude dealing with the dark side of the cosmos, where extreme vibrations are channeled into a vast world of emotions.
Someone may recall Limbonic Art’s early works, but the Wagnerian orchestral symbiosis takes distance from this immanent parallelism by crossing the genres’ borders and propitiating the co-existence of ambient and soundtrack-inspired layers.
Staying within the meaning of epic like a state of mind, opposed to the traditional understanding of this term, the time pattern moves towards a dimension where the fear to trespass the human point of view is a key factor.
Listening to “Narcissus” is like closing your eyes and mind-traveling through new forms of existence and the cruel perceptions that no human philosophy may affect.
For more than 25 years, the black horde of ENTHRONED (feat. members of NIGHTBRINGER, EMPTINESS) have waged war on the forces of light. 'Cold Black Suns,' their first album in five years, spews forth regal black metal majesty forged in the fire of the genre's early wars. ENTHRONED's ceremonial sacrilege burns unabated and 'Cold Black Suns' is a triumph of unyielding evil.
