# Profound Lore Records

Profound Lore Records ist ein im Mai 2004 gegründetes Plattenlabel aus Kanada, das hauptsächlich Metal-Bands aus den Substilen des Doom und Extreme Metals unter Vertrag nimmt. Insbesondere legt das Label einen Schwerpunkt auf Interpreten des Post-Black-Metal sowie auf Drone- und Death-Doom. Die Verträge werden meist Albumweise vergeben. Zu den bekanntesten Vertretern gehören Agalloch, Alcest, Altar of Plagues, The Devil’s Blood, Isis, Ulver, Hooded Menace, Amesoeurs, Nadja, Monarch! und Yob. Das Label ist in dem zur Verwaltungseinheit Wilmot zugehörigen Dorf New Hamburg in der Waterloo Region ansässig.
Chris Bruni gründete Profound Lore Records mit Freunden als hobbyartiges Projekt, das sich binnen weniger Jahre zu einem global agierenden Ein-Mann-Unternehmen entwickelte. Im Besonderen wuchs das Label durch die Verkaufsplattform der Label-Homepage. Profound Lore spezialisierte sich sowohl auf limitierte Vinylausgaben als auch auf eklektische extreme Musik vorwiegend aus dem Metal-Underground. Derweil strebt Bruni ein möglichst kreatives und individuelles Zielprodukt an, das emotionale Reaktionen hervorrufen soll. Als solche sind Bruni auch Abwehrreaktionen und Ablehnung willkommen. Nach 10 Jahren Aktivität galt Profund Lore als eines der stilprägendsten und trendsicherersten Label des Extreme Metals.
