Hearken, ye unbound! Behold the triumphant return of Proscription’s infernal amalgam of Finno-American blackened death metal. ‘Desolate Divine’ merges primal repugnancy with hypnotic songcraft, balancing a calculated, multi-layered offensive with the chaos of a bloodthirsty berserker charge.
With grand ambitions for their debut ‘Conduit’ stifled by the pandemic, ‘Desolate Divine’ emerges to reveal Proscription’s terrifying true form. “At least half of ‘Conduit’ was written even before a full lineup was gathered. So when I was writing, maybe I subconsciously had these shackles and speed limits or whatever,“ professes Christbutcher (guitar, vocals). “But when the inspiration came for ‘Desolate Divine’ I had a much better understanding of what Proscription had become and where to go from there.”
Proscription’s completed line-up is a formidable force, boasting members from such deathly acts as Maveth and Lantern, among many others. Said collective experience is instantly evident on ‘Desolate Divine’, showcasing exceptional musicianship and relentless, professional execution.
