Professional Murder Music (PMM) is an American industrial metal band from Los Angeles, California. The band was formed by bassist/keyboardist Jeff Schartoff and guitarist/vocalist Roman Marisak in 1998, just prior to the disbandment of their previous band, Human Waste Project.[3][4] They are currently signed and own indie label, Wormhole Records.[1]

Their music has been used for such film soundtracks as End of Days,[5] Ginger Snaps, Valentine, and Jet Set Radio, a video game for the Sega Dreamcast. Also, their music has been used on MTV's The Real World.[6] They have also participated in the Tattoo the Earth tour,[7] and shared the stage alongside such other acts such as Fear Factory, Rammstein, Staind, Cold, and Powerman 5000. Since 2001, they have released three full-length albums, and a new single entitled "The Reflection" in 2013.
