Profanatica

Performing Live: PROFANATICA STORMRULER ABSOLUTE DARKNESS Hailing from New York, Profanatica is one of the first black metal bands from the United States. They are among the major American black metal bands to have emerged early during the second wave of black metal. Under the direction of Paul Ledney they have placed profound emphasis on blasphemous themes. St. Louis, MO black metal duo Stormruler broke out in 2021 with the avid subterranean support of their debut full-length, Under A Burning Eclipse -- subsequently garnering scores of acclaim upon its wide re-release via Napalm Records. The album, which Decibel Magazine called, "one of the best black metal albums of the year", introduced Stormruler's beyond-their-years execution of raw, atmospheric black metal doused in extravagant lyricism. Absolute Darkness is a death/thrash band from the SF Bay Area. Their brutal take on thrash is an unapologetically dark and politically charged sound of their own. Their songs offer a slamming indictment of modern day society and those that pretend to govern us. Each song is an anger fueled slab of hatred that talk of sparking rebellion and standing up for what’s right. Those messages are forcefully delivered through fast paced riffs and drumming on top of a bass heavy rhythm and powerful growling vocal work. black metal. metal. doors @ 7pm; show @ 8pm. all ages. $22 advance; $28 day of show.
