NOT MASTERED - NOT FINAL MIX! Prelistening of Fuoco Fatuo's debut full length LP/CD called "The Viper Slithers in the Ashes of What Remains", due for release during Fall 2013 on Iron Tyrant.
Today, Italian cult metal stronghold IRON TYRANT announces two release dates for FUOCO FATUO's debut album, The Viper Slithers in the Ashes of What Remains: February 17th for the CD version, and March 31st for the gatefold vinyl version. After two EPs and countless gigs - including support slots for Evoken, Necros Christos, Eyehategod, Grave Miasma, Abysmal Grief, Iskra, Ash Borer, Fell Voices, Thantifaxath, and many more - Italy’s darkest and heaviest power trio FUOCO FATUO finally shaped their first full-length. Titled The Viper Slithers in the Ashes of What Remains, the monolith of ultra-doom comprises five songs in 52 minutes.

Risen amongst the ghastly lakes in the deep north of the Italian countryside, FUOCO FATUO soon established themselves a reputation as a brilliant band, both on record and in live performances. The eerie elements that made their demo EPs so special have been further cloaked in unheard heaviness, anxiety and DOOM on The Viper Slithers in the Ashes of What Remains. If this wasn't enough for you to slice your wrists, the artwork from up-and-coming artist Raoul accentuates the listener's despair and furthers his "todessehnsucht."

Horror.
Catacombs.
Void.
Nightmares.
Nothingness.
Total Despair.
Absolute Terror.

Give up your dreams, leave this hopeless earth and your mortal shell now.

IRON TYRANT RECORDS is proud to present PROFANAL's highly anticipated second album, "Supreme Fire." In 2012, IRON TYRANT unleashed "Black Chaos" upon an unsuspecting populace, introducing PROFANAL with a disgusting, gut-wrenching exclamation point. In an era where the classic Swedeath sound has been as abused as the signature HM-2 pedal from which that genre largely sprung, this Italian quintet offered something vastly more than mere regurgitation. Across every note rang a deeply studied - and, more importantly, deeply felt - authenticity that, no matter how familiar the template may be, suggested there were further treasures to be mined.

And now, with their second album after a seemingly interminable four-year wait, PROFANAL are back to prove that their treasure chest is vast with death metal riches to behold. Ever aptly titled, "Supreme Fire" is an incendiary, sulfurous furnace of classic Swedish death metal done by maniacs who live (and die) by this sword, who've imbibed its essence so thorougly and profoundly, the record could've come out in the idiom's early '90s heyday. Indeed, PROFANAL burl forth with a blistering, steamrollering tank-tread of gutted sound, occasionally blasting where necessary - and only when it's in service of the song - and otherwise exploring the tasteful boundaries of classicist death metal songwriting, making for an immediately memorable but never overly simple-nor-complicated listen. Plus, there's no denying the soul-devouring power of vocalist Rosy, whose deathbellows are unique for her gender in this genre. It's maniacal death metal by death metal maniacs, for death metal maniacs...it's "Supreme Fire"!
