夢中夢

Profanum - Musaeum Esotericum (2001)

Genre: Dark Ambient/Classical
Origin: Poland

1. Ecce Deliquium Lunae - Atri Misanthropiae Floris 20:56
2. Ecce Axis Mundi - Ars Magna Et Ultima 17:35
Total playing time
38:30

I thought I'd finish up Profanum's discography with their final full length. This one is worth having as it finds Profanum continuing with their more romantic classical take on dark ambient. I sure wish they would put out one last full length but i really don't see that ever happening so we will just have to enjoy the 3 full lengths they have. There is also a demo "Under a Black Wings of Emperor" that I will post if anyone is interested, just let me know!

Total playing time

This is Profanum's first full length and it sees them combining black metal with breathtaking classical arrangements. The guitars are still shredding on this one so it gives us the best of both worlds and makes this the "must have" Profanum release.

On this album, Profanum replaced the black metal guitars and bass with classical orchestra music, thus creating a dark and epic journey through the hidden recesses of your mind. Well, haha, i don't know about all that but this sure is a remarkable classic. I guess Profanum called it quits now, but the members are now concentating on their more straightforward black/thrash project "Witchmaster" who are also really good. Check this one out for sure because I know you'll love it.
