About Profanatica
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
PROFANATICA require no introduction. Cold 'n' alone American black metal before "USBM" became some dumb rallying term, pushing boundaries and "good taste" with vile blasphemy and even-more-vile music, and simply doing whatever the fuck they want, both in their original early '90s guise and their now-intensely-prolific period in the 21st millennium: there's only ever been one true PROFANATICA.
However, let it be known than PROFANATICA are NOT standard "black metal," but rather their own rarefied strain of BLACK / DEATH metal. They've been proving it the last handful of years, and prove it more perversely than ever with Wreathed in Dead Angels. The band's return to longtime supporters HELLS HEADBANGERS features six brand-new tracks in a swift 'n' salacious 22 minutes: immediately, irrevocably PROFANATICA from beginning to end. But, while the power-trio maintain a signature sound, by no means are they repeating past glories. From the utterly gutted guitar tone to the cultivated primitivism of founder Paul Ledney's drumming to the creeping / crushing songwriting, Wreathed in Dead Angels vulgarly displays PROFANATICA just entering their prime - all the more amazing for a band that's been around since 1990.
About Knoll
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
Akin to the unveiling of relics carved from an oaken slab, lesser so to that which artisan may conjure from nothing, Knoll seeks the most subtractive of efforts in its offerings. The method is unpinnable, yet is as such: something must be wrought from something else. Its materials predate their misuse; its result contradicts their lessening. A distillation of ingredients leaving but the brittle corpses of what was once unwarped by a wicked sieve - a wholly negative artifact as its response. And yet, they are familiar, as if these bringings have not been made, but rather freed. It is, then, the utmost purpose as sculptors, to be the conduits of an inhuman goal. That of an infinite testament, unmarred by the collection of dust, & outwardly dedicated to this prospect of impermeable meaning. It is not to say that the arbiter of such works is to be maligned, & especially not to put forth fronts in order to appear so, but that its output must be willed to suffer within these confines, lest it is worthless.

About Unidad Trauma

Brigada de médicos e investigadores, quienes a razón de una serie de sucesos ausentes de justicia, ética y moral deciden abandonar su anterior profesión en el área forense. Portan como estandarte una serpiente rompiendo la vara de Esculapio, pues una de sus filosofias es el de exponer la mala practica medica y todas aquellas barbaridades que históricamente la ciencia ha hecho en pro del conocimiento.
