| Los Angeles-based black metal duo CULTUS PROFANO is proud to announce the release of its second blasphemic offering Accursed Possession, out today via Debemur Morti Productions and streaming in entirety here: |
| Simultaneously starker and more atmospheric than their 2018 debut Sacramentum Obscurus, the band achieves malefic transcendence without the need for superficial adornments, through a stripped-back, pitch-black palette of elemental guitars, mesmeric percussion and vocal invocations of burning venom. With the band now a live entity, Accursed Possession invokes a tour-honed alchemy of purpose, vision, and execution. The arcane vibes of those Italian, Greek and other obscure occultists of the second wave are channeled in unison of magick and mysticism, invocation and ritual, and sulphur and mercury. With supreme focus — and in presence of the serpent — CULTUS PROFANO has conjured an infernal path to perpetual darkness. Mixed and mastered by Rune of StavMix Studios (Whoredom Rife), the album’s cover was painted by Serbian artist Khaos Diktator (Devourment, Saor). Hidden deep within the darkness, CULTUS PROFANO was formed by Advorsus and Strzyga in 2016 with the impious vision to fulfill a sacrilegious oath in the form of unholy compositions. Now, the devoted heretics ready their second arsenal of sinful chants once again under the banner of Debemur Morti Productions. Accursed Possession is out now on CD, 12″ LP, exclusive DMP edition 12″ LP, cassette, and digital. Pick up your copy via the label’s EU shop, Bandcamp, or US shop. CULTUS PROFANO is: Strzyga – vocals, guitars Advorsus – drums, vocals Web Links: https://cultusprofano.bandcamp.com https://www.facebook.com/CULTUS.PROFANO https://www.debemur-morti.com https://dmp666.bandcamp.com https://www.facebook.com/debemurmorti https://twitter.com/debemurmorti https://www.youtube.com/user/debemurmortiprod “…this pitch-black palette of tremolo picking and blast beats cuts such a sinister atmosphere…” – Decibel Magazine “Pure, cold and blackened evil…” – New Noise Magazine “This traditionalist approach to extreme music is delivered in wonderfully volatile fashion…” – Nattskog “…increasingly intense…” – NO CLEAN SINGING “Accursed Possession is perfect evil, pure black metal from the old guard but made in the 21st century.” – Metal Hammer Portugal |
