Profanatic Lust is a two-piece black metal act with members drawn from bands including Hellishkiller and Mørtvs, channelling satanic and left-hand-path doctrine into raw, uncompromising material. Their 2022 debut EP "The Cvlt Ov the Old Ones" was released on cassette and CD, establishing a sound rooted in orthodox blasphemy and ritual atmosphere.
Profanatica are one of the defining acts of American black/death metal, a project forged in the early 1990s New York underground by Paul Ledney with a mission of total anti-Christian extremity that predates much of the Norwegian scene's notoriety. Reconvening in 2006 after a long hiatus, they have continued issuing some of the most deliberately primitive and blasphemous recordings in the genre — raw, irreverent, and utterly uncompromising.
Black metal band from Gorzow Wielkopolski, Poland, formed in 2014, channeling fanatical devotion to black metal's darkest traditions. They bring over a decade of uncompromising extremity to the Lubusz region.
