Perfect. The first warm day this year. The kids having fun in the park. Birds are singing. Dogs are barking. Men and women in love with life. My day starts with PROFOUND GRAVE and an intro which leaves no questions about the soon to arise Armageddon. No sun, no hanging in the park for me. Instead red alert alarm, sounds of war and a classical choir. Opening the record and fading into pure hatred. PROFOUND GRAVE carry me away into the evilest swamps of Black Metal. Simple riffing combined with the focus onto the key core. Attack and destroy. Don’t leave any casualties. In five compact songs they don’t waste any time to make friends or trying to impress with technical skills. More Punk and dirt then profound atmosphere and deep conversations. More hate then melodic beauty. Ten minutes of raw arrogance. Just perfect. Second part of this split EP is taken by OCCULT PANTHEON. Another short intro tries to make me believe there is a little break and I could start enjoying the sun too. But it’s not. Just the way of violence changed. Dark and heavy Black / Death has taken over to fulfill this immortal chaos. Switching trough fast and doomy elements. But still as simple as the first part of this record. And still as perfect. OCCULT PANTHEON might sound more willing to offer a melodic taste of their hate. But still it’s just evil and in no way a well intentioned offer. A perfect start in my day.
