PROFANATICA are at the vanguard of the first wave of American black metal. Founded and led by
infamous master of black perversion Paul Ledney (drums/vocals), they have purveyed primeval
blasphemy for nigh on thirty-three years.
Ledney formed the band from the ashes of the first INCANTATION lineup when he split and took with
him all of the members sans John McEntee. That early trio of ex-INCANTATION members reeled off three
ground-breaking demos of some of the most extreme and blasphemic metal of its time in rapid
succession. The band flyers that permeated the tape-trading circuit were no less shocking and featured
the trio bloody and naked and in the throes of what was most certainly a primeval summoning of some
kind. In short order, they had inked a deal with the fledgling Osmose Productions for what became one
of that labels first releases (Osmose release #5); a legendary split with Colombia's MASACRE.
Something so volaƟle could only last briefly, and after another brief recording session the band
collapsed under the weight of its own extremity. but the recordings made in this two year window went
on to see dozens of reissues in the coming decades, in a testament to how formidable and formaƟve
they are to the black metal scene worldwide.
Aver almost fifteen years spent with his equally polarizing solo project HAVOHEJ, Ledney reignited the
flames of PROFANATICA in 2006. Reemerging with a new deal from Hells Headbangers, Ledney and his
new band released 'The Enemy of Virtue', a collection of that vaunted early material, and a new fulllength, 'Profanatitas de Domonatia'. A triumphant return, 'Profanatitas de Domonatia' picked up right
where these Kings of US Black Metal left off, delivering a savage stream of chainsaw guitars and
relentless battery upon which they desecrated everything sacred.
This set-in motion another frenetic burst of work for PROFANATICA. The next decade saw them
unleash four new full-length albums of blasphemous perversions, sacrilegious incantations, and furious
black metal. In addition, the band issued six mini-albums and EP's, a full DVD of early footage, and began
touring internationally in Europe and in Central and South America. For the first time PROFANATICA were
appearing near or at the top of the bill at festivals like MDF, Messe Des Mortes, Hells Headbash, Prague
Death Mass (Czech Republic), Chaos Descends (Germany), Black Sun (Spain), Tyrant Fest (France), SWR
Fest (Portugal) and many more.
In fall 2018, PROFANATICA joined forces with Season of Mist and undertook their biggest tour to date
supporƟng WATAIN and ROTTING CHRIST across Europe. And a year later, the trio vomited forth a most
vulgar strain of black metal ejaculate with their SoM debut album 'Roƫng Incarnation of God'.
The band embarked on an extensive twelve-country European headline tour in the album's wake.
Shortly after returning home that winter, the world ground to a halt in 2020. Save a live-streaming
concert production for the legendary Rock al Parque in conjuncƟon with BATUSHKA, litlle was heard
from PROFANATICA.
That is until spring 2023, when PROFANATICA emerged from their den of iniquity on a European
headline tour to promote a new album. 'Crux Simplex' is a ten-track offensive of sin and sacrilege, a
nasty affront that bastardizes the first 10 stations of the cross. As per their legacy, PROFANATICA deals in
bestial, first-wave black metal barbarity, and their eighth album unveils ungodly levels of bile and
blasphemy.
