Profanatica, notorious pioneers of American black metal, return with their latest blasphemous opus, "Crux Simplex." This ten-track assault delves into the desecration of the first ten stations of the cross, offering a concept album that confronts the crucifixion narrative with unrelenting ferocity. Led by the infamous Paul Ledney, the band delivers their signature blend of primal black metal and death metal, drenched in sacrilege and raw aggression.
From the opening track, "Condemned to Unholy Death," to the visceral "Wipe the Fucking Face of Jesus," Profanatica spares no deity in their unholy onslaught. Each song is a testament to their unwavering commitment to blasphemy, characterized by relentless riffs, pummeling drums, and guttural vocals that echo from the abyss. The album culminates in the haunting "Division of Robes," leaving listeners in a state of dark reverence.
"Crux Simplex" is not merely an album; it's a ritualistic experience that invites devotees of the darkest metal to partake in its profane liturgy. With artwork by Abomination Hammer and a deluxe 12-page booklet, this release is a must-have for those who worship at the altar of true black metal. Embrace the darkness and let Profanatica guide you through a journey of unrepentant blasphemy.
