Profanatica

In an interview, it was implied that Ledney did not recognise the legitimacy of Incantation under McEntee, and he claimed that it was he, Amori, and Makowski who originally proposed the name.

He has also claimed that McEntee was reluctant to pursue their interests in black metal, corpse paint, and blasphemous themes.

Brett Makowski was unable to participate in the recording of the latter demo, so the band recruited John Gelso to play guitar.

The band signed a deal with the label and in 1991 they released Weeping in Heaven on 7-inch EP, strictly limited to 500 hand-numbered copies.

Following the success of this EP, After World chose to re-release it on cassette with two bonus live tracks the following year.

[1] During this time, Profanatica extensively toured the northeastern United States, often shocking many with their sick and blasphemous live act.

As the end of the year approached, Brett Makowski and John Gelso both officially left the band.

Paul and Aragon invited Wicked Warlock of Demonic Blasphemy (nowadays known as Ixithra) of the band Demoncy, to perform the guitar work.

The three of them played one gig together, and were planned to participate in an American black metal festival that Halloween, appearing with bands such as Order from Chaos, Vital Remains, and Acheron; however, this never took place.

[1] The band entered the studio to record a full-length release, initially entitled The Raping of the Virgin Mary,[1] although in other instances the name was known as Sodomy of Sacred Assholes.

[3] The master tapes of these recordings were destroyed (according to Ledney, by Aragon and Ixithra from Demoncy[3]) in the studio, and the band parted ways soon after.

Profanatica's music is influenced by Possessed,[1] old Venom,[1][4] old Bathory,[1][4] Hellhammer,[1] Necrovore[3][4] and Sarcófago,[4] and is close to death metal.

I wore one of those costumes for Halloween when I was nine with the pitchfork and that's all I'm gonna say..." He does not agree with the views of the Church of Satan, referring to an ad for a Baphomet mug in their magazine The Black Flame for around $15.95 which he called "the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen" and "money-making junk".

As Profanatica were rejected by Varg Vikernes from the Norwegian band Burzum, Ledney replied that "the only reason for his hatred is jealousy".

Asked to mention bands he "think[s] are true Black Metallers", he named Impaled Nazarene and Beherit from Finland, Necromantia and Rotting Christ from Greece, and Bestial Summoning from the Netherlands.

[1] The album Profanatitas de Domonatia differs from early releases in terms of productions, which "happened on purpose.
