Bestial Profanation is an old school death metal band from San Antonio Oeste, Río Negro, Argentina, formed in 2021 by guitarist and vocalist Matias Carrasco alongside bassist Cristian Sarmiento, drummer Alexis Basanta, and rhythm guitarist Alexander Alonso. The band released the three-track EP Legion of the Undead in 2021, followed by their debut full-length Sanctuary of the Living Dead in January 2022 through Argentine label Putrid Records. Their sound draws on the rawness of Autopsy alongside Swedish and Floridian death metal influences.
