It is with much regret and sorrow that long-time original founding member, Misha, will no longer be taking part in drum duties for future PROTOKULT live appearances. With the business of life, schedules and views do not always align and eventually, people reach a fork in the road. Still on good friendly terms, we wish a tremendous metal talent thanks for nearly a decade in honor and service; all the best! Slava!

note: The group continues on with new music + dates and will be holding drummer auditions throughout the early summer months. Any qualified, interested applicants/talents are encouraged to contact and send sample(s) to:
protokultmetal@gmail.com

Some holiday cheer from the Protokamp: New shirts are finally under way!

Protokult will be performing the very first live acoustic set at the The Barbarian Kegger, which is a fundraiser for the Northern Ontario Permaculture Enthusiast Society. Martin Drozd comments on the band’s upcoming plans for the live acoustic sets:

“After disrupting a few house parties and bonfires, we’ve come to the conclusion that plenty of the Protokult material works acoustically. As a result, we’ve decided to perform a few select acoustic shows this fall/winter. That’s right folks, no distortion to mask our fuck-ups, no hauling of gear and plenty more beer! What you will witness is the Kult in their raw, stripped down, purest form “blushes”….suddenly, we feel rather exposed. Minimal. Festive. Drunk and dark. Stay posted for dates and expect some classic renditions of previously released songs, some new ones and even the odd wacky, traditional retro covers!”   -Martin Drozd

For those of you who can’t understand what the hell Martin is spewing now is your chance to sing along! Get yourself a cold one and enjoy the lyric video for Get Me a Beer!
