U.K. progressive black/death metallers DE PROFUNDIS will be supporting MARDUK and IMMOLATION on their forthcoming European and UK tour in September/October 2012. This will be the band's third European tour, having previously toured with the likes of RAGNAROK, ROTTING CHRIST and OMNIUM GATHERUM.

The band will also be performing at this year’s RockHarz festival in Ballenstedt, Germany taking place on 12-14 July also featuring PARADISE LOST, AMON AMARTH and ARCH ENEMY.

DE PROFUNDIS’ third album 'The Emptiness Within', was released in May 2012 via Kolony Records. The CD was once again produced by Fernando Pereira Lopes (MISANTHROPE, ORAKLE) and DE PROFUNDIS and was mixed at the Studios Davout (AC/DC, THE ROLLING STONES, OZZY OSBOURNE) in Paris, France. The cover artwork was created by the renowned artist Costin Chioreanu (Twilight13media), who has previously worked with ULVER.

'The Emptiness Within' has been received with widespread critical acclaim across the metal press and fans:

Terrorizer Magazine - 4/5: “As nightmarish, nihilistic visions go this one is mightily easy on the ear, and it marks another leap forward in an already stellar career.”

Zero Tolerance Magazine - 4.5/6: “This is an utterly accomplished album: the songs are complex, dynamic and memorable; the riffs powerful; and the performances near perfect […] Greatness awaits.”

MetalStorm.com - 8/10: “‘The Emptiness Within’ is a more exciting and up-beat version of what Opeth sounded like more than a decade ago.”

SonicAbuse.com: "In producing a record of the quality of ‘The Emptiness Within’, De Profundis have raised the bar for extreme metal bands everywhere. […]If you consider yourself a fan of metal in any shape or form this is quite simply an essential album."
