Profane Burial are a band from Norway that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "My Plateau" which will be released in march by Crime Records.
A very heavy and symphonic sound starts off the album while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Vocals are mostly grim black metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and when the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard.

Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the album also has its atmospheric moments. At times the music also gets very progressive and cinematic sounding along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, choirs can also b e heard briefly and a couple of tracks are also long and epic in length.
On this recording Profane Burial takes their symphonic style of black metal into more of an atmospheric, cinematic and progressive direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover curses, fantasy, horror, magick, witchery and ghosts.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Profane Burial and if you are a fan of symphonic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INC:LUDE "Moribund" and "Horror Code". 8 out of 10.
