The core of the band’s sound remains unchanged: unyielding and grandiose Black Metal that traces…

INCANDESCENCE is an epic black metal duo from Quebec, Canada comprised of multi-instrumentalist Philippe Boucher (Beyond Creation, Chthe’ilist) and vocalist Louis-Paul Gauvreau have completed their fourth full-length LP “Le Coeur de l’Homme” set for release on CD/Digital April 15th with vinyl to come later in the summer.

Ever since this project’s inception in 2011, INCANDESCENCE has been a vessel for Boucher, known mostly as a formidable top-tier drummer within the tech-death metal scene due to his involvement in Beyond Creation and Chthe’ilist, to explore and expand his musical horizons in the realm of black metal (which he has also done…

Profound Lore Records is proud to announce the March 18th release of New York-based experimental death metal quartet AEVITERNE’s debut album The Ailing Facade on CD/Digital with vinyl edition following later in the summer.

On The Ailing Facade, AEVITERNE look beyond the destruction of flesh or the punishment of the spirit, instead turning inward to focus on the abyss of consciousness itself: the curse of sentience; the futility of productivity; the breakdown of consensus reality; humanity’s twin drives to propagate and destroy itself, locked in permanent perverse competition.

AEVITERNE formed in 2015 as a vehicle for guitarist and vocalist…

The debut album from New Zealand black/death metal duo THE TEMPLE is out now on CD and can be streamed everywhere (vinyl whenever later).  THE TEMPLE, an aural entity comprised of P.K. (guitars, bass, vocals) and J.W. (drums, lyrics), play viscerally morphing and shape-shifting death/black metal of an esoteric nature.  “The Temple” was recorded, mixed, and mastered by J. Saint Merat and features artwork and design by David Glomba.

The new MORTIFERUM album “Preserved In Torment” is out now and can be streamed everywhere and procured in all its formats HERE (exclusive long and short sleeve shirts also available).  The heaviest and most colossal death metal album of the year, “Preserved In Torment” sees MORTIFERUM push their penchant for dark, depraved, and disgusting dirges even further out into the periphery and continue to mine the poisonous quagmire of classic death metal and the suffocating lurch of funeral doom all while the resulting six tracks on “Preserved In Torment” operate on a larger scale, both in musical scope and in sheer crushing weight.

The debut full-length from California black metal band APPARITION “Feel” is out now and available to stream everywhere (vinyl a little delayed unfortunately and will hopefully be in hand sometime late-Nov).  Towering progressive doomy death metal with hammering colossal crawling grooves, refined escalating riffs and lurching, thick, and bludgeoning calculated chord progressions while tethering into the realms of strangeness and the anomalous.  Limited longsleeve available HERE.

The debut album from US black metal entity FERAL SEASON is out now and can be streamed everywhere (vinyl edition will land sometime later).  One of the top USBM highlights of the year, “Rotting Body In The Range Of Light” wanders into hallucinatory soundscapes while exploring a personal connection between black metal and the landscapes of Northern California.  A portrayal of the loss of one’s mind and a subsequent flight into the depths of the inner self.  Limited longsleeve available HERE.

The new ANTICHRIST SIEGE MACHINE album “Purifying Blade” is unleashed today in all its fury and can be streamed everywhere.  Procure this work of despondent desecration HERE.  Upcoming ASM live assaults: Oct 16 in Milwaukee (w/Pan-Amerikan Native Front) and the duo’s record release show in Washington, DC on Oct 30 (low ticket warning) @ Atlas Brew Works (w/Bog Body, Isla, Goathex).  Also a cult “Purifying Blade” longsleeve is available to order HERE.
