De Profundis released their second album ”A Bleak Reflection” on Kolony
Records earlier this year. The praise for the album has high both on print
and online media.

"With "A Bleak Reflection", the band have again avoided fitting easily
into any pigeonhole... Melodic, heavy and strangely tranquil, even when
Craig Land's superb guttural vocals are roaring from the speakers. This
isn't doom in the spirit-crushing sense; rather, the album is imbued with
an elegiac, melancholy atmosphere which is paradoxically both soothing and
metallic. The black metal influences which were detectable on "Beyond
Redemption" also crop up all over "A Bleak Reflection", notably on
'Nocturnal Splendour' and the superb, epic "Ablaze in Autumn's Fire"... A
key feature of this album is the seamless flow and ebb of the music, even
the use of blastbeats followed by a melodic solo on 'Cold is the Grave'
enhancing, rather than disturbing, the carefully built-up atmosphere...
[This album is] a major step forward from a first-class band." (Zero
Tolerance Magazine)
