Lutomysl is a one-man black metal band from Ukraine, formerly known as Profane Solitude. Most of his prolific output is comparable to mid-period Darkthrone with repetitive guitar riffs, lo-fi production, and an unconventional vocal approach.
With his sixth album "De Profundis" (2008) Lutomysl have achieved the sublime refinement of their Jet Black Metal art. Their weeping, sorrowful melodies are delivered with an extremely harsh and abrasive guitar sound and effective dynamics, creating a tense and absorbing atmosphere across each of the lengthy, yet well-constructed, tracks.
Though peripherally connected to the NSBM scene in Ukraine through his association with members of Nokturnal Mortum, his early labels, and some questionable lyrics on his first album, Lutomysl stresses his project is completely antipolitical and dedicated towards individualistic and misanthropic ends, and he himself does not share the views of NS bands.
