Profanation: Preparation for a Coming Darkness

This US release features deluxe packaging and two live bonus tracks not included on the Japanese import! Profanation: Preparation for a Coming Darkness features the core trio of Praxis - Buckethead (guitars), Bill Laswell (bass), and Brain (apparently just Brain; drums) - trading information with various musicians, including a slew of guest lead vocalists; among them Iggy Pop, System of a Down's Serj Tankian, Mike Patton, Rammellzee, Doctor Israel, Wu-Tang protégé Killah Priest, and Jamaican-born toaster Hawk. Since 1992, Praxis has churned out an eclectic series of albums rooted in aggressive avant-rock improv with a healthy slab of hip hop, psychedelic funk and space jazz thrown in.
