PROFANUM is one of the most inovative and also the most mysterious band
in whole Black Metal genere, always standing alone in their own, dark
world of sounds. The band was formed in 1993 as a trio including three
unique and strange personalities, namely: Geryon, Vlad Ysengrimm and
Lord Reyash.
The first demo tape 'Under The Black Wings of Emperor' was released in
1994, bringing five songs of grim and cold Black Metal. The tape made
the band signed to Astral Wings Records, which issued PROFANUM debut
album 'Flowers of Our Black Misanthropy' in 1996. The songs on the album
differed quite a lot from the demo, having more obscure atmosphere and
orchestral arrangements.
In Summer 1997 PROFANUM signed to Pagan Records for their second album.
'Profanum Aeternum: Eminence of Satanic Imperial Art' was released
shortly after. The album was a mornful opus of five dark and majestic
infernal symphonies. The Black Metal influence was reduced and the band
decided not to use guitars, bass or any 'typical' Metal sound on this
album, replacing it with symphonic orchestra instruments like piano and
violins.
The band remained silent for almost three years, until late 2000, when
they entered the studio again to record their third masterpiece -
'Musaeum Esotericum'. This recording contains of two long suites: 'Ecce
deliquium lunae' and 'Ecce axis mundi'. The Black Metal influences can only
be heard at times in the vocal parts, while the music is something yet
unheard. Very original, avant-garde ideas of the musicians resulted in
dark and misanthropic combination of classical music with obscure
Occult Ambient. This definately is not for everyone ears, love it or hate
it.
