Profanal Announces Sophomore Album "Supreme Fire"
Today, Iron Tyrant Records set October 15th as the international release date for Italian death metal act Profanal's highly anticipated second album, "Supreme Fire."
In 2012, Profanal unleashed "Black Chaos" upon an unsuspecting populace, introducing Profanal with a disgusting, gut-wrenching exclamation point. In an era where the classic 'Swedeath' sound has been as abused as the signature HM-2 pedal from which that genre largely sprung, this Italian quintet offered something vastly more than mere regurgitation. Across every note rang a deeply studied - and, more importantly, deeply felt - authenticity that, no matter how familiar the template may be, suggested there were further treasures to be mined.
And now, with the second album after a seemingly interminable four-year wait, Profanal are back to prove that the treasure chest is vast with death metal riches to behold. Ever aptly titled, "Supreme Fire" is an incendiary, sulfurous furnace of classic Swedish style death metal done by maniacs who live (and die) by this sword, who've imbibed its essence so thoroughly and profoundly, the record could've come out in the idiom's early '90s heyday. Indeed, Profanal burl forth with a blistering, steamrollering tank-tread of gutted sound, occasionally blasting where necessary - and only when it's in service of the song - and otherwise exploring the tasteful boundaries of classicist death metal songwriting, making for an immediately memorable but never overly simple-nor-complicated listen. Plus, there's no denying the soul-devouring power of vocalist Rosy, whose death bellows are unique for her gender in this genre. It's maniacal death metal by death metal maniacs, for death metal maniacs...it's Supreme

"Then bow down before the infernal London-based quartet The Heretic Order, consisting of guitarist/vocalist Lord Ragnar Wagner, bassist Rotted Skull, drummer Evil E and guitarist Count Marcel La Vey!
