Iron Bonehead Productions is proud to present the striking debut EP from France’s Profanation, ‘Skull Crushing Violence’, on CD and 12″ vinyl formats.
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 Deströyer 666, but he also maintains labelmates Venefixion – with whom vocalist Profane Alex has recently been added as a live member – as well as Sépulcre 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.
