█ Founded in 2012, Polish black metal duo █
█ Profanatism quickly honed their skills in the █
█ underground scene with several different demos █
█ that allowed the band to perfect their craft and █
█ managed to bring out a split release as well to █
█ help the pair further refine their skills. Finally █
█ ready to unleash their first proper release, the █
█ groupsÆ debut full-length was originally released █
█ June 6, 2016 on Under the Sign of Garazel █
█ Productions. █
█ Like so many of their Polish brethren, the bandsÆ █
█ quite clearly adept and proficient in the raw, █
█ driving second-wave style of intense black metal █
█ favored in the country. Still largely beset with █
█ swirling tremolo riff-work and a darkened series █
█ of rhythms throughout here, the fact that thereÆs █
█ a much larger emphasis on the raw, churning █
█ patterns that display a quite larger, impactful █
█ intensity to the tracks is much more evident here █
█ as this features the typical rhythm changes and █
█ discordant riffing found in that style. That █
█ series of discordant patterns allows this one to █
█ change from the blisteringly fast, raw █
█ tremolo-laced attacks to swirling, mid-tempo █
█ sprawling that offers tinges of industrial riffing █
█ and much more straightforward, loose patterns that █
█ contain much more simplistic chugging all brought █
█ into a cohesive whole usually within the same █
█ tracks, and that gives this a seemingly disparate █
█ sense of chaos with all the different elements █
█ working together to give this one the furious █
█ intensity by maneuvering through these █
█ differently-paced elements within the music. As █
█ good as that is, the fact that it really manages █
█ to highlight the small nagging factor within this █
█ one as being way too scattershot and disjointed █
█ that thereÆs quite a loose feeling running through █
█ the music as a whole, rarely feeling like a true █
█ collective of tracks with that distinctive series █
█ of disparate elements. These donÆt offer the kind █
█ of pleasing mesh of styles as the swirling tremolo █
█ riff-work generating that typical sea of chaos █
█ while the sprawling industrial-tinged passages █
█ donÆt really create any cohesive bonding together █
█ the way itÆs intended, which is a fine area to █
█ work on as the band gains experience and carries █
█ on. █
█ Though thereÆs a few flaws to be found here with █
█ the bandsÆ inexperience being brought to the █
█ forefront with some rather disparate elements █
█ being featured here, the fact that the bandsÆ far █
█ more intriguing traditional-style second-wave █
█ black metal approach that helps make this a █
█ worthwhile time for those that can handle the █
█ flaws and enjoy the second-wave style. █
