Profetus hail from Finland, the cradle of funeral doom metal. "The Sadness Of Time Passing" is their third full-length studio album and took five long years to create. It deals with the concept about time and mortality; a collection of bleak compositions to raise the awareness that everything is transient, all is impermanent. To express such an idea, it can be linked to the Japanese concept "mono no aware", sealed by its cover art. The painting by talented contemporary Japanese painter Yuka Yoshihara, was made using 19th century colours and old Japanese painting techniques to resemble a Finnish romantic, XVII century painting. Recorded during a period of great personal loss, Profetus locked the door of their own studio, a wooden lodge in the middle of the Finnish woods, and created the album during one week. The studio, said to be haunted by the spirits of the woods, gave a natural sound to the recordings. Deluxe double vinyl version of the above release. Second pressing. Ltd x 200 copies in a gatefold sleeve.
