What a name for an album, and one that sums up PROFANE AND THE SACRED perfectly as it seems lime its been an absolute life time since these guys started up and only now we get an album!? At least it is here now, and for those who worship at the Church of the Riff shall be very very happy indeed!

This is for fans of balls out riff drenched stoner metal, anyone who loves a bit of DOWN or COC will be more than happy with this offering as it 9 songs of non stop guitar driven madness. There are some great moments of almost TOOL-esque prog rock rock fret work which will make our axe mad friends very chuffed indeed.

But for me it is a little like a lot of other bands around at the minute and I can’t help mention that I wish this had come out a year or so earlier, Its a bit of a silly thing to say as I know what it is like for bands though as costs are costs and it can take a while to be in a situation where you can actually afford to release an album but I did find myself losing attention at the end of the album as I guess my tastes have moved on to the more filthier side of things. This is not a reflection on the song quality though as its very damn good, just not my cup of tea.
