De Profundis’ 2022 piece The Corruption of Virtue first took us by surprise and then by storm. An astute piece of Death Metal of all couleur that fascinated us with its merciless musical prowess. But since then, nada. Not a peep from Londontown. So, we filed them away for being one of those RMR one-time events in metal.

But it appears that they were busy behind the scenes. Because – lo and behold – their newest EP, The Gospel of Rot. landed with a mighty bang in the midst of our sleepy brethren of the RMR Review Desk.

Castrator. The Death Metal band that didn’t quite make it onto our roster back in 2022 with their dime-a-dozen Extreme Metal regurgitation, Defiled in Oblivion. ‘Lost in the boonies, way too far into the mainstream, not much to see here..’, the old geezers at the review desk screamed.

These covers look like the front pages of them sleazy Pulp Fiction novels we used to buy many a decade ago. And somehow, the perpetrator’s mug kinda looks familiar. Or is it just me? Hidden messages galore or brain fog brought about by too many conspiracy theories. Whichever comes first. And that the new band sports refugees from the mighty Massacre was just icing on this metal cake.

The band’s oldish … [...] Click to raid more!

Woe! After an abject cheese-laden sugar high in the warm embrace of Metal o’ the Light, it is finally time for some trve brutality. Death Metal is on the menu and the folks over at Rise of Tyrants are enraged to the point of obsession.

Meaning, they’re on a mission to tell their story. Directly, ferociously, and without mercy. And why should they show any? The storyline is about priestly abuse, no less. Atrocities that the Roman Catholic Church is still trying to hide to this date. Assignment fully accomplished, or rampant mission creep? Creepy crawlers in empty smoke-infested buildings.… [...] Click to raid more!
