Connecticut's Profanatica have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw, old school and blasphemous style of black/death metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Wreathed In Dead Angels" which will be released in April by Hells Headbangers Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in the early 90's era as well as the mid tempo sections also adding in elements of death metal.
A small amount of melody is also added into some of the guitar riffing while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some growls also being utilized at times, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style and synths can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Profanatica remains true to the raw, old school and blasphemous style of black/death metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Anti Christianity and Blasphemy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Profanatica and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hung In Golgotha' and "Wreathed in Dead Angels". 8 out of 10.
