Profetus

about

Profetus was formed under the heavy snows of Tampere, Finland in 2006, to perform solemn and mournful, crushing and captivating funeral doom metal. Brought to existence by A. Mäkinen and S. Kujansuu, the musical idea was to bring forth their musical love for old doom metal and especially to affine the funeral ambience of classic Finnish funeral doom acts like Thergothon, Unholy and Skepticism. As a leading frame of their future work, they decided to create the sound without bass guitar and replaced it with organ which would give a monotonous and more majestic background to their slow march. The first drummer A. Palmu hooked in, as they started to rehearse for two musically different tracks, "The Skull of Silence" and "Winter Solstice" which later was recorded under the name of their very first work "Saturnine". During the rehearsals, their stars did meet with E. Kuismin, their old friend who accepted the task to take care of all studio duties for their first release "Saturnine" under A. Mäkinen's execution. The first search of the band's sound was process-wise long and frustrating, but took its toll later, when Makoto from Weird Truth records showed interest on ordering the first copies of their self-released tape. Overall "Saturnine" got positive response from underground scenes, especially the die-hard dwellers of the Doom Metal genre. After searching the bands next visions little bit more they became aware of musical ideas that would lead them to goal only with more focus
