Sesquipedaliophobia are a band from Hungary that plays a very raw and symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 ep "The Gospel Of Profanum".
A horror orientated sound starts off the ep along with some symphonic keyboards a few seconds later which also mix in with the heavier sections of the songs. Spoken words and Gregorian chants can also be heard briefly while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody and blast beats are added into the faster sections of the recording.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style, when tremolo picking is added into the faster riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and growls are also utilized at times, operatic vocals are also added on the closing track .
Sesquipedaliophobia plays a style of black metal that is very raw and symphonic sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover taboo, erotic tension, inner conflict and social transgression.
In my opinion Sesquipedadaliophobia are a very great sounding raw and symphonic black metal and and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Reverse". 8 out of 10.
