Nashville, Tennessee's Act Of Impalement have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a blackened mixture of sludge, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Profane Altar" which will be released on February 28th by Caligari Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of sludge and doom metal. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals also adding in a decent amount of death metal growls.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard while black metal screams can also b e heard at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilzied they also bring in more of a 90's death metal style along with some tremolo picking also being added into some of the faster riffing.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffs along with the mid tempo sections of the songs also adding in touches of crust and d beat and throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, the whole album also sticks to a heavier direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism and History themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Act Of Impalement and if you are a fan of black, sludge, doom and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Apparition" "Deities Of The Weak" and "Profane Altar". 8 out of 10.
