Profanatica
Profanatica was formed in 1990 by three guys who all played in early
lineups of
Incantation ,
deciding to go their own way to play black metal as opposed to the death
metal direction that Incantation took.
The trio lasted a couple of years, recording an EP and several
demos before breaking up, with one of the three (Paul Ledney)
eventually hiring new members for a rejuvenated Profanatica in 2001.
Now down to a duo as heard on 2016's
The Curling Flame Of Blasphemy ,
the style is a sort of black/death hybrid, with distant vocals in
the black metal vein while the riffs borrow from both genres.
