Profanatica - Profanatitas de Domonatia (2007)

   Profanatica counts as a genuine band on the field of black/death metal, because they couldn't be sorted to any of the main directions of the style.
   Their music is far from the ordinary more melodic and audience-friendlier mix of blackened death, and it's also different from the Blasphemy influenced most deviant direction, though it's more similar to that. The band focused on old school influences and simple, primitive musical solutions. It's not too intense or noisy, but also lacks atmosphere. Only pure blasphemies they offer and raw sound. The riffings are more reminding to thrash, and the basic drum style is like at the heavier '90s death metal bands. The main impression is still closer to black metal, even if the main components are telling about other references. Maybe Goatlord and Nunslaughter should be mentioned if it's a must to compare them to some old classics. The first because the concept and the main feeling is very similar, the second because of the themes, and the sound is nearly the same ravaged. "Profanatitas de Domonatia" is recommended for those who seek the essential evil aspect of black/death, achieved by old school influences that are not to cause permanent brain damage yet.
