Invisible Oranges is hosting the exclusive premiere of the new EP by Spanish black-death metal punks PVRGATORII, titled “Profane Rites For Cursed Times”, released on May 29, 2026 via Night Terrors Records. The release marks a new step in the band’s evolution and will arrive as a strictly limited 100-copy edition on one-sided 12” black vinyl, complete with OBI strip, insert and an extensive 16-page fanzine entirely dedicated to the project.
The EP further refines PVRGATORII’s self-defined “Black Metal ov Death” approach, blending raw black metal ferocity, punk urgency and abrasive noise into a sound that remains tense, hostile and uncompromising. Far from stylistic compromise or modern fusion trends, the band continues to pursue a harsh, atmospheric vision rooted in extremity and shaped by their connection to the Barcelona underground.
Stream “Profane Rites For Cursed Times” at THIS LOCATION.
Formed in Barcelona in 2018, PVRGATORII have consistently defined their sound as “Black Metal ov Death,” a volatile fusion of raw black metal abrasion, punk urgency, and noise-laden hostility. Yet their approach deliberately resists contemporary trends: while rooted in aggression and immediacy, their music avoids the swagger and looseness often associated with black’n’roll. Instead, “Profane Rites For Cursed Times” remains steeped in a sinister, malevolent atmosphere, where tension is never released into levity and every element serves a darker purpose.
Following their debut album “Con Las Uñas Clavadas En La Cara De Dios” (2021) and the subsequent “Marching Through Thee Night Guided by a Black Fire” (2024), this new EP sharpens the band’s identity even further. It is a concise yet forceful statement, where the most unsettling aspects of black metal and punk converge without compromise, resulting in a sound that feels both immediate and deeply corrosive.
With “Profane Rites For Cursed Times”, PVRGATORII reaffirm their commitment to a vision that is as uncompromising as it is distinct, one that rejects dilution, embraces extremity and continues to evolve on its own terms.
