Profania was formed in Drammen, Norway in february 2004. The band was formed by Jan Pinslund, Christer Borud and Espen Ris... All bandmembers where finished with all previous band-activity and were looking for a fresh start with new musicians. We started looking for a bass-player, and we soon found Christer Lunde formerly of the band Cthon. Our first rehersals consisted of us playing a few cover-songs to find out if the chemistry was there. Within a short amount of time we had written a few original tunes also. The style of those songs were kind of like our old heroes meeting our later ones. Kind of old Metallica and Megadeth mixed with the likes of Pantera. This has also been the discription of our sound when confronted by fans at our shows. Anyway, it’s important for us that our songs has their own signature and doesn..t sound like anything else and remain hard and mighty, but still melodic and "catchy". After about a year we decided to search for a new bassist. We found a new member in Robert Wavter. We wrote a bunch of new songs and played our first gig with him. It was a "band-battle" in Asker, Norway. We came in second and were pleased with that, considering the circumstances and the tough competition. Then we went to Panser Studio in February of 2006 and recorded our first demo. It was engineered by Bj..rn Bergersen and consisted of the songs: Tombstone, Under Siege, Into Nothingness and Crimson Serenade. The response we got for our demo was outstanding! Then we decided to get a new bass-player, again :). This time we got Andr.. Forsmo, currently of "The Allseeing I" and "Sarkom". He also has a few other projects going at the time, a busy man. We have now played a lot of gig’s at places like Oslo, Drammen, Asker and Trysil and the response has been great. We have no intention of quiting and will continue to spread our metal to the masses!!
