Black metal band from Bari, Italy, active since 1999, whose name means 'profane lineage' in Italian. Over a quarter century they have remained a dedicated force in the Pugliese black metal underground.
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.
Black metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2016, delivering blasphemous black metal from the city of lights. They channel darkness in stark contrast to their luminous surroundings.
Profane Anger is a death/black metal trio featuring Rômulo Nekro Daemon on vocals and bass, Paulo Death on guitars, and Reverend Ivan Sabbath on drums, recording out of Natal's Abyss Occults and Black Hole studios. Their 2015 EP "Fall of the Liar" introduced their corrosive approach, followed by the split "Pact with the Devil" in 2019.
Founded and led by vocalist and composer Azi Dahaka, Profane Art executes dense blackened death metal built around Luciferian doctrine and a focus on inner chaos as a catalyst for spiritual transformation. Active since the mid-2010s, the band has released early material including the "Order 666" demo and has been developing their debut full-length.
Symphonic black metal band from Krakstad, Norway, formed in 2018, layering orchestral grandeur over black metal ferocity from the Akershus region. They bring cinematic scope to the Norwegian extreme metal landscape.
Black metal band from Oulainen, Finland, formed in 2013, gathering blasphemous black metal fury from the rural reaches of Northern Ostrobothnia. Their name signals the unholy nature of their sonic worship.
