I wrote about Profetian about a year ago. The project has taken shape and recently the duo released the EP “Stormen i Sågmon”. Now they sing entirely in Swedish and they call it doomsday pop and lo-funk. I’d like to add blackness and vibes from Swedish progressive music to this description.

According to the singer Christoffer Johansson, the name Profetian (“The Prophecy”) sort of grew out of the development of the songs, as these became darker and more serious. Christoffer wrote a poem with the name “Profetian”, with a content that in short meant “Everything’s going to hell, if we don’t shape up”. Since this ended up being an undertone in the songs they took it as their band name.

Profetian has a Facebook page and you can listen to and download the EP on Bandcamp.
