***Like a horror clawing its way out of the darkest pits, Profane Order’s Tightened Noose of Sanctimony returns for the vinyl treatment. This destructive EP was originally set on an unsuspecting world in 2017, announcing the Montreal band’s arrival as feral force of bestial Black Metal. With a bristling arsenal of snarling riffs, breakneck blasting and disembodied roars, it represents the group’s first fully-formed release—a distillate of raw aggression and nightmares to come. From the disease-ridden guitar breaks of opener "Sick Seed Eradication" to the slow burning torture of "Morbid Lust," the first invocation of the group’s vile sound can be heard this merciless release. Now finally available in 12” vinyl format via Nuclear War Now! Productions, this special reissue includes twisted new artwork from Nether Temple Design and an insight into the band’s live form, with two bonus live tracks from the Messe Des Morts IX festival in 2019.

***Thundering forth with frenzied intensity, Montreal’s PROFANE ORDER return with their second full-length, One Nightmare Unto Another. From its first moments, the record summons merciless blackened death metal soaked in the old blood of the '90s trailblazers. The band’s first release with Nuclear War Now!, this latest release features seven tracks of rapid-fire aggression and bestial hostility. Incubating slowly as the plague months passed, One Nightmare Unto Another’ reveals a rearmed and retaliatory variant of the group. Pared down to a maniac core of two members, ILLUSORY (SPECTRAL WOUND) and OLCADÓIR (SKUMSTRIKE) invoke the dark gods of ancient black and death metal. Fans of Blasphemy, Demoncy, Beherit and the wildest excesses of Slayer will find fresh meat to feast on amid the record’s barbaric purity. Packed with demented solos, seething vocals, and a pounding drum assault in the finest tradition of Canadian black/death metal, the album exhibits a violent and pitliless focus. As such, it represents a powerful and distinct follow-up to the band’s acclaimed 2019 debut record, Slave Morality and 2017’s Tightened Noose of Sanctimony EP, emitting pure hatred as the group shifts from one nightmarish era to the next. Befitting the band’s most concentrated and corrosive material yet, One Nightmare Unto Another features artwork by the renowned ALEX SHADRIN of Nether Temple design (artwork for Morbosidad, Esoctrilihum, Tetragrammacide, and more). Acrid and reeking of disdain, this latest full-length from Profane Order offers a pitiless bludgeoning and bloodthirsty portent of further violence to come.

***On their bludgeoning debut LP Slave Morality Canadian terror cult PROFANE ORDER unleash a sonic armageddon of implausible proportions that will stand high as one of the most uncompromising displays of aural terrorism to see the light in 2019. After a debut full-length and a followup EP, with this brand new sophomore LP of monumental violence Profane Order have sealed their most abominable and aberrant pact with complete chaos and ruin so far, and conceived a work which will elevate the band’s reputation as an embodiment of complete terror at a whole new height, consecrating them as a complete aberration of creation. Slave Morality sees the band and their horrid sonic apocalypse come full circle and blossom into the weapon of mass destruction it had always prophesied it would become on past releases, standing as their most accomplished and merciless work to date as well as establishing them as an absolute threat in the Canadian extreme underground and beyond. Fusing the cold and malefic grimness of black metal with the most bludgeoning strains of death metal and the blind terror of grindcore, with Slave Morality Profane Order pay homage to long time war metal cults like Archgoat, Blasphemy, and Conqueror, while crossing new and never before seen thresholds of musical barbarism, extremizing the sub-genre even further and standing as a monument to violence and negativity entirely their own.
