Vale of Pnath is an American technical death metal band hailing from Denver, Colorado, known for their complex instrumentals and dark, intricate compositions. Formed in 2006, the band took its name from a dark eldritch location within H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, setting the tone for the group’s lyrical and thematic focus on cosmic horror and the macabre. Vale of Pnath quickly gained attention within the metal community for their skillful blend of technical proficiency and brutal melody.

The band made their mark with their self-titled EP "Vale of Pnath" in 2008, showcasing their swift, aggressive guitar work and relentless drumming, complemented by visceral vocal performances. Over the years, the band has enhanced their sound and lineup, leading to their acclaimed full-length debut, "The Prodigal Empire," in 2011. With each new release, including "II" in 2016 and their two-part "Accursed" EP in 2019, Vale of Pnath has continued to refine their intricate sound, securing their place in the realm of technical death metal. Their relentless pursuit of musical precision and their unyielding narrative steeped in otherworldly terrors have garnered them a dedicated fanbase and ongoing critical praise within the heavy music scene.
