Profound comes from Austria and after two demos the band achieve to release their debut self financed album last year. The title of their album is "Frozen Mankind" and it includes twelve songs and more than seventy minutes of pure music. Musically the band walks in the doom / dark metal with some death metal elements especially in the vocals section. You know the classic growls and death metal vocals with guttural voice and the combination with the clean ones. The music has a lot of doom metal elements combined with gothic metal ones. Generally Profound makes some really interesting compositions with well worked ideas and the songs structure is really good and you can see that the band had spent a lot of hours in their rehearsal room. Don't forget that they had shared the stage with bands like Anathema and Die Apokalyptischen Reiter. All in all the stuff from Profound is really interesting if they will become more unique and to put more their personal sound inside their song then we will have a better result. But for a debut album is a very good movement and i hope the guys will work harder to release a better album in their next step.
