Coronation of the Black Sun Aeon
The debut album of atmospheric funeral doom metal act Profetus sounds like a mystical, frightening, however, melancholic wooden box of your fears getting a long reverberating tail of drumming all over your awoken mind; it continues to spread ritualistic cymbals and hats going through the fog that diffuses the space of attentive thinking. The desperate, deaden deep growls haunt you from the first moment of the Eye of Phosphoros (second song, named \"The Skull of Silence\" in standard edition) and until the last breath on Blood of Saturn, where it has almost been transformed into the hopeless anguished whispers.
Simple and confident guitar work is full of melody lines combined with the power chords that quake the soil underneath the knelt place, where the black sun is subjected to coronation. Guitar lines here deliver a distinctive pleasure to those who are following and permitting themselves to be enchanted by its sounds.
Monotonous keys are guiding the listener across \"the desolated ruins, where the child of Saturn awakes with ashen wings (into the bliss of wind), drifting against the stream\" (\"Coalescence of Ashen Wings\"). They perfectly complete the atmosphere of archaic darkness. They are slowly picturing the death yearning in the shadow of the sullen eye.

The total mood that this album creates is about to sit still and bring yourself to the doleful fifty minutes of thinking and dialogues with your imagination, which will come to your mind nevertheless of time and date, sooner or later.
It\'s worth indicating that the artwork supports the contents of the CD very neatly, giving your imagination a few more freedoms to move. The album is highly recommended to the admirers of desperation.
