The Corruption of Virtue

by DE PROFUNDIS

supported by
Salami Dick Death

Salami Dick Death Really tasty Techish Death Metal. They have definitely cultivated a badass style that they are damn good at. They picked up a new bassist which may have worried some. After a decent listen all concerns will be shattered and decimated by that FILTHY FRETLESS BASS. Like past albums they have retained the fretless sound that so many of us desire very deeply.

Mitchfynde Proggy and cerebral. Thinking man's death metal.

Metallurgical Fire The production turned me off at first. It’s a little flat. That said, the progressive and expertly played music on this album is light years above anything in the band’s discography. I put this album in the same category as works by Death, Atheist, Morbid Angel, and others who have advanced the genre while not sounding forced or overly technical. Highest recommendation. Repeat listens are a must! Favorite track: Sectarian Warfare.

about

Most bands mellow with age but nearly two decades since their inception, UK's death metal stalwarts De Profundis have only evolved to become more and more extreme with each album, their latest probably being their most intense, aggressive and challenging release till date. The musicianship too has only grown over the years and the accomplished members are setting new standards for themselves with each one and complementing each other better than ever before. The interplay is absolutely remarkable on this one with the songwriting being way more intricate and engaging. The album almost comes across as a technical death metal one, with various facets revealing themselves upon repeat listens and parts clicking together as a whole. They've expanded upon their newly belligerent form of death metal while carefully counterbalancing it with emotive melodies which has been their forte since years, and the result is a terrific and impressive blend of sound that only a few can manage to pull off without overdoing either of it. The album is an absolute treat for any fan of death metal who likes his music to be demanding, engrossing and well thought out.

For fans of: Death, (early) At The Gates, Carcass, Martyr, Opeth, Sepulchral Curse, Live Burial, Cerebrum
