| CD REVIEW Prosanctus Inferi |

|
Band: Prosanctus Inferi Columbus, Ohio-based project Prosanctus Inferi were formed five years ago by J. Kohn, who’s known from bands as Vomitrocity and Father Befouled too. He did also work with Black Funeral, one of the many projects of Michael Ford. Anyway, that very same year, we’re talking about 2005, a first rehearsal demo was released, yet in 2007 their official demo Sacrilegious Desecration In Excelsis, made this name an important one within the American underworlds. The year 2009 brought both good and bad news. At the one hand there was the release of a splendid split-EP with Witch Tomb, amongst which 100 copies on silver vinyl. But that very same year, drummer Antichristus, also involved with Father Befouled (and Unholy Death), committed suicide (in November last year). It didn’t stop J. Kohn finishing the debut album, being an epitaph to fallen warrior Antichristus, and Hells Headbangers Records, one of the most preferable labels nowadays (at least to me) do release this record, sweetly titled Pandemonic Ululations Of Vesperic Palpitation. The record continues the well-known path, meaning a rough, uncompromising and rather dirty symbiosis of blaspheme Blast/ Death Metal and primitive Black Metal. Don’t expect any form of well-polished, cleaned-up modern stuff; this is the purest essence of f*cked-up occultism. The pounding evocations come with a somewhat groovy sound, yet in its most barbaric definition. Every act suffocates, the whole squeezes your throat as if your eardrums want to escape from every single second of playtime. For fans of, let’s say, Profanatica, Necrovore, Nunslaughter, Beherit or Crucifier. 85/100 Ivan Tibos. |
