History & Biography
London, UK-based De Profundis was formed in 2005. The group’s name was inspired by an Abruptum EP’s title from the year 2000. A release from Dark Funeral also contained the phrase in its name. The band has become less doomy overtime.

The band lost four drummers between 2005 and 2007. Paul Westwood of Rogue Male was an early drummer. The Beyond Redemption demo came out in 2007. The group signed to Kolony Records in 2006. The Emptiness Within, the new album from U.K.’s De Profundis was out through Kolony Records in mid-2012. The act opened for Rotting Christ on its Aealo tour of Eastern Europe in 2012. Now signed to Wicker Man Recordings, De Profundis was releasing a 2015 album called Kingdom Of The Blind. As of 2014, Tom Atherton drummed for the band. De Profundis was to co-headline a UK tour with Egyptian death metal band Scarab in the summer of 2016. Dubbed the Kingdom Of Serpents tour, the five-date trek was to see the two metal bands also take part in something called the Warhorns Festival. De Profundis signed a worldwide deal with the India-based Transcending Obscurity Records in late 2017. A record was already in the bag and was to be released shortly.

The Blinding Light Of Faith came in the spring of 2018. Terrorizer, Skeletal Remains and De Profundis toured Europe in 2019. Arran McSporran left in 2020. Steve Woodcock of Linear Sphere joined in 2022. Massive Music became the band’s road agent. The band announced a new album, called The Corruption Of Virtue, for 2022. The band played with Dying Vision and Deicide in 2023. The act was at Barkfest - A Special Fund Raiser For Nick Barker's GoFundMe. The group was headlining Eradication Fest in late 2023. De Profundis joined the 'anniversary' bandwagon and marked its 20th year with an EP, called The Gospel Of Rot, in 2025. The EP featured new vocalist Stefano Bassi and new bassist Simon McAuliffe. Vocalist Craig Land had retied. Shoi Sen was also doing live work for Incantation. Bassist Steve Woodcock had also left earlier in 2025.
