The Profile

Swiss metal band known for blending black-metal ferocity with gothic atmospheres; noted for prominent keyboards, harsh vocals and melancholic melodies.

Alastis are a Swiss metal group formed in the late 1980s, noted for combining black metal roots with gothic influences; releases include Revenge and The Just Law.

OzzyRotten's DeBaser review praises Alastis' Revenge for its bleak, well-structured atmospheres and blend of black, death and gothic elements. The album is noted for prominent keyboards, heavy-modulated guitars and furious vocals (War D.). Recommended for listeners who favor dark, wintry extreme-metal moods rather than technical virtuosity.
