Veterans of the Krywian scene continue to bring the talented youth to light, so to speak. Also, they give the example of how you do things.<\/p>\n

SACRILEGIOUS PROFANITY seems to have finally formed a specific sound. The material on the grandiose split \u201cSixfold Kryvian Blasphemy<\/a>\u201d was the first example, and now the distinctive style of the project has become even more expressive. A variety of arrangements and a specific mournful and solemn melody rolling in dark waves were added to the usual high dynamics. As in the previous time, the music of SACRILEGIOUS PROFANITY gives a very strong \u201dLovecraftian\" feeling, although the lyrics of both tracks are based on ancient occult rituals related to this world, not literary (by the way, both texts are surprisingly long). The intricate guitar parts of G.W. are intertwined with the traditional sublime Krywian riffing (T.D. was obviously responsible for it), and this makes a very strong impression, especially in the final part of the second track. There are also some clean chants and keyboards, which seriously enrich the music. The only thing missing is guitar solos. By the way, the drums were not played by G.W., but by Gypsy, who, despite his rather advanced age, had only recently begun to be active on the scene as a member of COLDROPE, INTHUUL, PETIT NUAGE NOIR, INTERITUS, NIABO\u017d\u010cYK and, forgive me, \u041a\u041e\u041d\u0426\u041b\u0410\u0413\u0415\u0420\u042c. G.W. took over all the technical aspects (sound and desing of the release). I will not confidently assert that the material on this split is the best in the history of SACRILEGIOUS PROFANITY, but at the very least it is as good as the previous one. I would like to hear an album in this style now.<\/p>\n

In comparison with the album \"Harbinger of Sorrow<\/a>\u201d, INTHUUL have made an even more serious step forward in the musical aspect. Interestingly, they had to take a step back in terms of overall sound to do this. The material on the split sounds tougher and sloppier than on the album, where everything was smooth, black and square, like on Malevich's legendary picture. But that's what makes it interesting. Instead of scratching the tremolo up and down until they got blue in the face, the guys saturated both tracks with a gloomy mid-tempo melody, pushed the vocals to the background, and it worked one hundred percent. I was listening to \"Harbinger...\u201d a month ago, and I don't remember a thing from it, but I memorized both songs from the split immediately. Especially the second one, as it is filled with a very natural, heartfelt melancholy, which fully corresponds to the lyrics of the song. In fact, everything is still bad with the lyrics of INTHUUL. If the text for the \u201dTower of Oblivion\" thing is acceptable, then the \u201cBlack Bone\u201d is simply weak, no matter how you look at it. It doesn't even make sense to quote. I am always not even asking, but demanding that bands publish their lyrics, because in Black Metal this is extremely important. But now, for the first time, my position on this issue has been shaken. It seems that it is really better to leave some lyrics unpublished - at least until the band gains some status. And then you can admit that some track was originally called \u201cAncient Cucumber\u201d, and so on. INTUUL recorded their material threesome (Thoryvoss -vocals \/ lyrics, Algor - guitar \/ bass, Scytheripper \u2013 guitar) with the help of G.W. (drums). Mixing and mastering was handled by Algor. What INTHUUL did on this split sounds very attractive and almost Krywian - if you don't take russian-language lyrics into account. Therefore, it will be interesting to hear their next album.<\/p>\n

The split was released only on pro tapes (although I would say that it is worthy of a CD release) through Handful of Hate. Details on a video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
