The Profile

The Black Heart Procession is an American indie/slowcore band from San Diego formed by Pall A. Jenkins and Tobias Nathaniel after their work together in Three Mile Pilot. Known for dark, cinematic ballads and a string of numbered albums, they became a cult favorite for their melancholy, nocturnal sound.

Formed in San Diego, California (USA) in 1997 by Pall A. Jenkins and Tobias Nathaniel; associated with Three Mile Pilot; acclaimed early albums include 1, 2, and Three; expanded their palette with Amore del Tropico; later releases include The Spell (2006) and Six (2009).

Reviewers depict The Black Heart Procession as a San Diego cult band of dark, cinematic ballads and slow, funeral-paced moods. Early numbered albums (One, 2, Three) set the template; Amore del Tropico widens the palette; The Spell burns desolate and luminous; Six blends the early gloom with melodic clarity. A live document (Days Of Delusion) captures their stark intensity.
