Profanation/Ultra-Noise Warfare/Iron Bonehead Productions/2026 Full Length Review

  

   Profanation  are  a  band  from  France  that  plays  a   mixture  of  war,  black,  death  metal,  grindcore  and  punk  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2026  album  "Ultra-Noise  Warfare"  which  will  be  released  in  September  by  Iron  Bonehead  Productions.

  A  very  fast,  heavy ,  raw  and  brutal  war  metal  sound  starts  off  the  album  along  with  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats.  Vocals  are  mostly  black  metal  screams  while  the  music  also  captures  the  brutality  of  grindcore  and  when  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  also  done  in  a  very  chaotic  style,.

  At  times  the  album  also  captures  the  raw  energy  of  punk  while  the  music  is  also  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  90's  era.  All  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  the  recording  also  adding  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  along  with  the  songs  also  mixing  in  elements  of  death  metal,  one  track  is  also  an  instrumental.

  Profanation  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  war,  black,  death  metal,  grindcore  and  punk  and  mixes  them  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own.  The  production  sounds  very  raw  and  old  school  while  the  lyrics  cover  gore,  war  and  violence  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Profanation  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  war,  black,  death  metal,  grindcore  and  punk  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Servile  Rot"  "Realm  Of  The  Absolute"  and  "Anti".  8  out  of  10.

Azatoth Interview

1.Can you give us an update on what is going on with the band these days?

All of the members have other projects, that we have been focusing on during this year. Now with the album out, we’re definitey gonna bring it to the stages in as many places as we can….

2.In 2023 you had released your first EP, musically how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?

If we compare our 2023 EP Ungodly Carnage to Carnal Lust Of Blasphemy, there’s definietly a step up in production, song structures and the overall feel of the songs. We also tuned down to B from C. 

3.A lot of your lyrics are inspired by classic horror movies, which films have had the most influence on your songwriting?

Definitely Hellraiser and Braindead/Dead Alive. Hellraiser movies have this unique depiction of Hell that we took inspiration from, to make it a bit different than it usually is depicted. Braindead/Dead Alive has this goofy vibe that doesent take itself too seriously. DEATH METAL is serious bussines, but when you go over the top with the themes etc. you need to have a little bit of humour in it.

4.I know that the bands name is inspired by the writings of H.P Lovecraft, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in his works?

While the name is a direct reference to Lovecraft's work, we don't take that much influence from them. Only the concept of something being so grotesque, that it can't be comprehended and it might harm the human mind is what stuck with us.

5.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the full length cover?

It’s done by the mighty Slimeweaver. Go check out his works. We had this clear vision, of a cathedral rising from a fleshy and cavernous cave, that's supposed to be our version of Hell. Slimeweaver perfected this vision to the canvas. I think the artwork fits the music perfectly!

6.Has the band done any live shows or open to the idea?

Yes. We have played shows all over Finland. One in Sweden at Öland Rots, one in Poland at Death is not the End and one in Denmark at Extremely Rotten Death Fest. We definitely want to go all over the world. When the situation cools in the States, we’ll definietly head over there as well… Brazil and South America is something we’d 100% want to conquer and experience in the future. 

7.On the new album you also have a few guests, can you tell us a little bit more about who they are and their contributions to the recording?

Almost all of Malformed is featuring on our album. We’re good friends behind the scenes, and we wanted them to leave a mark on our 1st full length. Akseli and Eetu from Malformed played killer solos for us. Eetu did the 2nd solo on Putrid Altar Of Eternal Decay, and it rips… Akseli did it in Abomination of the Underworld, and actually wrote a few riffs for that song before leaving Azatoth. Jerry from Baron and Eyes Sewn Shut delivered a killer solo for Extinguished Souls of Putridity. When it comes to vocals, we wanted Disguised Malignance’s Felix to do some LG Petrov style screams of agony for Blasphemous Flesh, and Pauli from Malformed delivered a chilling dialogue as Satan himself for the slow part of Putrid Altar Of Eternal Decay. All of these people are good friends of ours, and we wanted to have their contribution for Carnal Lust Of Blasphemy.

8.The physical version was released on 'Extremely Rotten Records', how did you get n contact with this label?

We’ve been fans of Undergang for a long time. When we discovered Extremely Rotten, we knew that, it was something we wanted to be apart of. David has this vision for death metal that we agree with heavily. That’s why we chose to contact E.R.P.

9.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of underground6 metal?

From where we stand, it looks like the response has been great all over this shithole of a planet. We’re eternally grateful for that.

10.Where do you see the band heading musically in the future?

It’s hard to say. Only time will tell what depths the riffs come from next time.

11.What are some of the bands or musical styles the band members are currently listening to nowadays?

A lot of different styles of music. It’s impossible to pinpoint one because all of us have a completely different taste in music. Music is such a vast form of art, that if you limit yourself to only few genres, you’ll never get the full experience. but if i had to choose a few… I’d say brutal death, black metal, grind, post electronic and maybe even some jazz fusion.

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

Thank you for having us, and to all the maniaks reading this… stay DEAD….

  All  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  some  of  the  riffing  also  showing  an  influence  of  jazz  as  well  as  the  solos  and  leads  also  adding  in  more  of  a  raw  style  when  they  are  utilized,  synths  can  also  be  heard  on  a  couple  of  tracks.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  out-of-body  experiences  and  humanicide  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Thirsting  Ampoule  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  war,  raw  black,  death  metal  and  grindcore,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Continual  Self-Emanation  Within  The  Undifferentiated  Acosmic  Tohu"  and  "Dilated  Sigils  Of  Partzufim  (Lurid  Faces  of  The  Godhead)".  8  out  of  10.

  Music  samples  start  off  the  demo  before  going  into  a  very  raw,  fast  and  brutal  war  metal  direction  while  the  vocals  are  mostly  bestial  growls.  At  times  the  music  also  captures  the  brutality  of  grindcore  while  the  fast  tremolo  picking  also  brings  in  elements  of  black  metal  onto  the  recording.

Anal Piss Cult Interview

 

1. For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

A: We are what we want to play, we embrace our nature as ever changing creatures, we try to put all this in our music.

O: This project was born from the ashes of a dying breed. We completed our metamorphosis into what then became Anal Piss Cult. A blend of despair and euphoria. A distant scream approaching, relentless. 

2. So far you have released a couple of albums, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on both of the recordings?

A: Both records are improvised, that's basically our philosophy. The first, My Screams In The Fog Are Eaten By Something Unseen, came out more ambient-influenced than we thought it would, and since we felt we wanted to give in to violence in They Ate The Flesh, we approached the recording with that mindset. What came out reflects this, I think.

O: Everything is improvised so we just play what we feel at the moment. Recording in a studio can sometimes be limiting but it can also open to new sounds and atmospheres, so basically it’s like giving birth to something unknown. Surely the first album is more raw and somewhat primitive, while the second is more structured and richer in sounds, also with the help of Kilgore Trout II

3. So far all of the music has been improvised, what was the decision behind going into this direction?

A: We were tired of trying to get the perfect tune and the perfect melody to convey something that would eventually change, so we embraced what we have been wanting to convey in our lives for a long time, leaving behind useless elucubration.

O: The monotony of rehearsing. And also the absolute free expression that music can give. We just play how we feel in the moment and the connection between us intertwines the senses, creating something constantly unwritten. 

4. What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?

A: Hypocrisy, hate, nature, rejection, sorrow, anger, memory

O: There are no real lyrics. Only screams of pain to fill the void of existence. When performing blindfolded my mind just drifts in a slumbering realm. It’s like sleep paralysis.

5. What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Anal Piss Cult'?

A: A raptus by O, during rehearsals with our previous band

O: Our music is clearly not for everybody, but who follows and supports us knows the reason why we are called the way we are. 

6. Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?

A: We decided with Kilgore Trout II that we could explore the contrast between the our primaeval drive with his vision

O: There’s no meaning behind it. Just a picture of individuals with their face covered. There’s not a lot of thought process behind what we do. Everything has to come as natural as possible. 

7. Currently there are only 2 members in the band, are you open to expanding the line up or do you prefer to remain a duo?

A: I don't think we'll expand the band in the near future

O: we are always open for collaborations but as far as the former band goes, we will always be a duo.

8. On the second album you also collaborated with 'Killgore Trout II', can you tell us a little bit more about his contribution to the recording?

A: He reached out wanting to merge the music he heard while seeing us perform live with what we did, an industrial and noise nihilistic influence resulted from that.

O: So the collaboration with Kilgore Trout II was undoubtedly inspiring and it helped us widen our horizons and expand the awareness of who we were and how we felt as a pack. 

The general mood of the latest recordings has a lot to do with the touch he put in all the tracks that we brought to life. 

9. Has the band done any live shows or open to the idea?

  A: We did some live shows, some we uploaded on our YouTube channel. They were improvised too.

O: We’ve done a few but where we are from it’s not easy to find the right environments. But that’s basically all we would find pleasure in doing. Our music needs to be performed to instill the message in people’s hearts.  

10. Currently the band is unsigned, are you open to expanding the line up or do you prefer to remain a duo?

A: It depends on the label, we are currently boycotting Spotify as it is a slave of the demons of war.

O: it’s something that we never actually considered, but if the terms are right, why not?

11. On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of underground metal?

A: The few people that listened to us outside from the underground of our hometown told us that we are something different. I hope this is a good thing, if it's not, we still enjoy what we do.

O: It’s been great in my opinion. People that saw us performing were confused and amused at the same time. Nevertheless, I’m not looking for approval. I will always find pleasure in what we are doing.

12. What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

A: Many and varying, some names that come to my mind are, in no particular order, Satyricon, Mgła, Heilung, Gojira, The Chariot, Mastodon, Cough, Kylesa, Wardruna, Converge, Orchid. Lately I have been drawn back to Opeth, Kaunan and Darkthrone.

O: Drudkh, Bad Brains, Death Grips, Proclamation, Gaza and Amenra. 

Nowadays I’m listening to a lot of contemporary Post-punk and darkwave.

13. Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

A: You are not worthier than any other living being, don't expect anything more nor anything less

O: Beauty will save the world.
