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.

Discreet voices whispered of a new clip, a harbinger of an equally new record to come. A one-shot video called The Rune (2025). And this piqued our interest because we didn’t know what to expect.

Traversus - Navigate - Album Cover

Alright, RMR’s pickup of progressive pieces has been slow in 2025, to put it mildly. So, better start late than never. Spotlight on, pointed directly on the Dutch act Traversus.
