Profane Elegy

Hailing from Pennsylvania, Profane Elegy was formed by multi-instrumentalist J Gulick and vocalist/lyricist Mikael L in late 2021. Drawn together by their shared extreme music influences they set out to create a distinctly black metal sound infused with death, progressive, and doom metal elements. Over the course of the next 18 months the two wrote and recorded the band's debut album When All Is Nothing. The album was released independently on June 1st 2023 to positive reviews including Doom Heart who praised the “furious atmospheric Black Metal, to fantastic slow blackened Doom” and called it overall “a massive Doom delight”. Shortly after the album release they recruited David G and Sean M to fill out the lineup on bass and drums. The band made their live debut in late 2023 and then in 2024 branched out from PA with performances across NJ, NY, and DE. In addition to their live schedule they are busy working on their second album slated for release in 2025.
