I am the flicker of the flame I am the chalk, I am the grain I am the blood, I am the ash I am the key, I am the path I am the silence and the void I am the message and the voice I am the burning blood and hair I am the whispers in the air I am the incense of the earth I am the fires of the hearth I am the water and the wine I am the spirit of sacrifice I am the answer and the call I am the rising and the fall I am the horn, I am the drum I am the sword, I am the gun I am the seed, I am the strife I am the sickle and the scythe I am the burning heart of love I am the beat, I am the pulse I am the serpent and I am it's lust I am the hunter and the wolf I am the sage, I am the seer I am the conqueror of fear I am the call from the grave I am the way through which you pray I am the knife - dagger of will baleful fire - crux of desire I am the living - I am the dead I am the beginning and the end I am awake and yet I sleep I am the point of clarity I am the two, I am the one I am eleven and I am none I am the yearning for beyond I am the black flame BURNING STRONG Yes I am the black flame!

To reign over a hallowed ground To open the branches that feed my heart, To quench the ember's growing thirst To let life flow over my clenched fist ...to become. To silence the chambers of my mind To dwell on thoughts beyond my time. To cast a shadow on the sun To reign over the Kingdom come ...to become.

about

What you are hearing is the aural result of a wayward journey into the abyss. What eventually manifested is beyond anything we initially thought possible. In the 11th month of MMXIV, Night Profound literally set sail for a nearly abandoned gulf island in British Columbia. The destination was a decrepit, partially defunct wooden church. We reclaimed this sacred space in our own vision, and converted this house of god into our own Temple of the Black Serpent.

In hermetic abscondence, a straight 13 hour recording session took place throughout the night. The initial solid base of acoustic guitars and drums came easy. But, as the evening descended into induced madness, the artistic spiritual conduit was established. As members of our party swam in and out of conscious intent, the veil between Music and Will diminished. Every sound represents a higher state achieved. Every sound captured in that space is preserved here.

While several elements were added or redubbed in the Serpents Lair studio, a piece of that joyous madness and evoked living Will remains embedded in each movement. We consciously have not added additional instrumentation that wasn't available to us in that church.

“Eclipse” was captured spontaneously during an entranced rehearsal in the decay of MMXV. Recorded completely live off the floor, it was an unplanned expression of unity beyond the sum of its parts. This is ritual music.

Our re-imagination of "Freezing Moon" is presented with all due respect to the timeless and legendary originators in Mayhem.

about

Night Profound Vancouver, British Columbia

Like a serpent shedding coil after coil, Night Profound harnesses a united will to express all the tortures and triumphs of ascendancy. A dark folk collective submerging headlong into the Nightside...

Toiling away since 2007, Night Profound has developed through many permutations and identities before exposing the illumination within. The self has died time & time again to reach the apex!
