DE PROFVNDIS CLAMAVI - Artes Moriendi

New black metal band coming from the italian underground. A good revelation, a perfect mix between arcane atmosphere, melodic riffs and grim metal attack. Just a mini cd selfproducted, but really good music for those who are malancholic of the great age of symphonic black metal. The opener "Sephulcre" is very dark and it seems to hear again the debut of the norvegian band Keep Of Kalessin. De Profvndis Clamavi are able to mix  the occult esotheric italian tradition with the melodies typical of scandinavian black. "They Are Calling" is the result of this comunion of styles. Good songwriting are present in all songs even if sometimes the keyboard's part are quite boring bacause they never changes the sounds. "Bleeding Nightsky" has a mystic beginning that reminds early Emperor and Dimmu Borgir; this is maybe the best song of this interesting mini cd. At the end there's an evil speech in the last song that probably is inspired by the italian occult and satanic tradition and bands as Limbo and others. A very impressive mini cd of melodic black metal, a new promise coming from one of the better scenes at the moment.

Cernunnos vote: 4,5/6
