In a surprising move, Paul Ledney, the talented drummer and vocalist of the notorious black metal band Profanatica, has taken merchandise sales to a shocking new level. During a recent performance, he began offering a vial of his own semen at the band’s merchandise table, drastically reducing the original price to attract more buyers. This unconventional item has generated considerable buzz and curiosity among fans and attendees alike.

Numerous eyewitnesses have stepped forward, confirming the authenticity of this unusual merchandise, which has made waves in the underground music scene.

Discover the Legacy of Profanatica in the Black Metal Scene

Profanatica emerged in the early 1990s as one of the pioneering black metal bands from the United States, carving out a niche during a time when few American acts ventured into this extreme genre. The original lineup of the band, however, lasted only a couple of years before its members, who had previously been part of an early incarnation of Incantation, splintered off into various other musical projects, exploring different styles and sounds.

Fast forward to the early 2000s, when Paul Ledney reignited the flame of Profanatica with a fresh lineup of talented musicians. This revival led to the release of their first official full-length album, titled Profanatitas De Domonatia, which hit the shelves in 2007. To date, the band has produced six compelling albums, including the provocative Thy Kingdom Cum, and earlier this year, they unveiled the six-track EP Wreathed in Dead Angels. Their latest antics may very well capture more attention than their infamous nude band photo from the 1990s.

Shocking Merch: Profanatica’s Unique Offer of Paul Ledney’s Semen

This week, social media exploded with images surfaced on Instagram showcasing a sign advertising “Paul’s actual cum” for $50, presented next to a small vial purportedly containing his bodily fluid. The price for this extraordinary item at the merchandise stand has fluctuated throughout the ongoing Profanatica tour, initially set at $100 before being reduced.

The authenticity of the item received a boost when Claire Darling, who was working at the merch table, confirmed in the comments that the vial indeed contained Ledney’s semen. “I am the merch girl, and yes, it’s real, and was also my idea lmao,” she humorously commented on a post featuring the merch table from Profanatica’s show at The Regent Theater in Los Angeles on July 9.

Darling’s Instagram account showcases her involvement in selling Profanatica merchandise during the band’s current tour. In a follow-up post on her Instagram Stories, she announced that the semen had “sold out,” adding a comedic twist to the unexpected merchandise success.

“Waking up to a bunch of articles regarding cum I told the band to sell at the merch table was not on my 2025 bingo card,” she quipped, highlighting the unexpected nature of this promotional tactic.

Fans eager to catch Profanatica live can look forward to their next performance scheduled at The Usual Place in Las Vegas on July 11. Stay tuned for all upcoming tour dates to experience the unique energy of this black metal band.
