The Profit of Doom


"The Profit of Doom" is a song by American gothic metal band Type O Negative, released in February 2007 as the lead single from their seventh studio album, Dead Again. The single version of the song is four minutes and 33 seconds long, but lasts nearly 11 minutes on the album. A music video was released for the song.
The song begins with slow, heavy riffs, with a chorus in the style of King Crimson before some additional doom metal riffs, and ending with a doom metal solo. The lyrics refer to the asteroid 99942 Apophis; which, at that time, was said to have a possibility of hitting the Earth on Friday, April 13, 2029.
