UK death metal stalwarts De Profundis announce new full length
Respected death metal veterans from UK, De Profundis, are here with their strongest album till date. Their fifth full length is unlike anything they’ve done in the past – it’s very hard-hitting, backed with a strong anti-religious sentiment, and at the same time it’s an exploration of their established sound. You can stream one of their tracks that was featured on the free Transcending Obscurity 2018 label sampler on their Bandcamp or YouTube.

Long-running death metal band De Profundis have had an illustrious career. Over the years, they’ve kept perfecting their sound which incorporated progressive as well as melodic elements, and for their fifth full length, they’ve distilled only the best qualities into a massive death metal slab that’s emotive yet powerful. ‘The Blinding Light Of Faith’ is a bold step forward for the band into heavier territories as they eschew long, winding songs and go straight for the jugular. With a new logo made by Gary Ronaldson (Misery Index, Benighted) and a gnarly album artwork by Alex Tartsus (Sinister, Depravity) depicting the band’s anti-religious stance, De Profundis are confident of their direction and this promises to be their best album thus far. It’s a quintessential death metal album that manages to showcase diversity without compromising on the heaviness.
