Injúria-Profanação Medieval

A newer, shadowy entity hailing from Portugal’s ever-thriving raw black metal underground, in the past three years have INJÚRIA released a debut demo and then successive splits with Morte Perpetua and VzörbrëzV. Theirs is an ornery and agitated sound, now reaching its fruition with the aptly titled Profanação Medieval. Raw in the truest dungeonic way rather than blown-out fake “fuzz,” riffs clang and gnaw with an almost-dreary resignation that soon bubbles to a boil of delirium and distress. Each of the four lengthy tracks here takes its time – disarmingly patient, even, for Profanação Medieval totals 33 minutes – but they collectively impart a sensation of simmering, deeply-seated possession that’s given further, haunting credence with the rattling of chains: audio vérité that’s the truest of the true.
