Profane

1001 Proof

(c)1997 Mud Bud Productions

Review by Vladimir Levin

Thanks to the band for the CD

Profane has got to have the most hilarious album cover I have seen in a long time - a guy (Profane's Mascot "fluff" as it turns out) underneath some bridge sporting a huge Afro and a tie-dyed tshirt with his head pulled back as he sucks on a canister of gasoline! The Web site thanks Fluff for giving his life to the making of the CD.

Judging from the CD as well as the sound, intense power metal (think Pantera, but smoother), one would imagine this band to be from Chicago or Detroit. But no, they're from Wyoming -- as their Web page states, they are indeed the Mid-West's "premiere metal band!"

Regardless of location, Profane emanates a hard urban attitude and puts forth a devastating powerful metal sound with sharp thunderous riffs and forceful vocals. This is definitely a band to be reckoned with. They only problem I have with 1001 proof is that it's only about 35 minutes long, otherwise it's just about perfect. My favourite tracks are the hard and uncompromising "Down For All" and "I Am All" due to the imaginative and original riffing.

You can order the CD directly for the bargain price of $11.00 including shipping and handling by sending a check or money order to the band.
