Profane Omen - "Inherit the Void" reissue & "Destroy!"

Founded over a decade ago and slowly building itself into one of Finland’s most praised acts in the 21st century, Profane Omen has come to a new beginning.

Coming from the small town of Lahti in Finland that’s know of its punk and hardcore scene, Profane Omen has taken the energy and lyrical themes from punk and HC-music combining them with fast and crushing thrash riffs. That mixed with deep growls sounding like they come straight from the sewers and melodies even the toughest of the tough can weep to has made PO's mix a unique style of aggression and metal.

Profane Omen – Not from where the fence is at its lowest but rather from where it hurts the most!

Shining - "VII - Född Förlorare"

Founded back in 1997 in Halmstad, Sweden by the then only fourteen year old Niklas Kvarforth, Shining started out as a traditional black metal act which has since evolved into one of the most controversial extreme metal acts of the past decade, with the combination of beautiful soundscapes and lyrics of despair & self-destruction becoming the band’s trademark.

The new album “VII: Född Förlorare” takes these elements into new heights. With atmospheres from the deep end of depression to even some positive awakenings, this album as created by Kvarforth together with his long-time band mates marks a new cornerstone in black metal music, one that only sounds the way that only Shining can sound.
