D.I.Y. punk rock collective based in the United States by Dan Siskind and a number of others. They run Profane Existence Records which releases anarcho-punk style releases from bands throughout the world. They also release Profane Existence magazine as well as operating Profane Existence Distribution.
In 1996, Profane Existence teamed up with Skuld Releases in Renningen, Germany for a number of co-releases, always using both label names for prefix (EXIST/SKULD, SKULD/EXIST, SKULD-EXIST or similar).
The collective folded in 1998, although its distribution arm, then called Blackened Distribution, continued operating. They also put out a few releases under the label Aftermath to help pay off their debts. Profane Existence restarted in 2000.
In 2011, Dan Siskind stepped away from the collective. Profane in now based out of West Virginia and is primarily run by Chris Luton of Appalachian Terror Unit.
