PROFANE GRACE - SHREDDING STARS WITH HOLES OF BLACK [LIMITED] CD

YOUTUBE ►

The return of Profane Grace after 12 years of bleak silence! Active since 1990, which makes it one of the key projects in the history of not just American dark ambient, but in the genre as a whole. Founding member Ixithra (Demoncy, ex-Profanatica) is supported since a couple of years by Drathrul (Anu, Hour Of 13) and together they summoned “Shredding stars with holes of black”. This is their eighth full length which is in their own words “the darkest Profance Grace album”, and we can only confirm that. 48 minutes of pure dark ritual ambient. Simply a masterpiece for diehard fanatics of the genre. No song structures, no drone, no gothic. Instead you’ll find brooding synthesizers, occult invocations pulsating like clouds, and lots of use of various types of vocals including the recognizable obscure whispers from Ixithra. The album is a true lurking beast of total despair. It slightly recalls Aghast, with vocals present a lot but always mixed a bit to the background, haunting you from the total darkness and in this way contributes to the claustrophobic and oppressive overall sound. Highly recommended to fanatics of Aghast, Raison D’Etre, Lustmord, Sekt, Emit.
