CRYPT SERMON - The Stygian Rose LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition transparent orange colour vinyl. Black wax also available.

Dark heavy metallers Crypt Sermon unveil their bewitching new album, widely regarded as their finest album.

Highly recommended.

Featuring guitarist Steve Jansson (Daeva, Unrest), vocalist Brooks Wilson (Unrest), drummer Enrique Sagarnaga (Daeva, The Silver), guitarist Frank Chin (Daeva), bassist Matt Knox (Horrendous, The Silver), and keyboardist Tanner Anderson (Obsequiae, Majesties), the Philadelphia-based sextet parlayed their time away from the spotlight into a grander, more mysterious Crypt Sermon. The interflow of doom and heavy metal underpins The Stygian Rose, but these boundaries are effortlessly transcended. From the blistering solo salvo of “Glimmers In The Underworld” and the commanding rhythm of “Heavy Is The Crown Of Bone” to the evocative Near Eastern vibes of “Thunder (Perfect Mind)” and the intricate, masterful journey of the 11-minute title track, The Stygian Rose epitomizes the band’s burgeoning musical and conceptual prowess.

Produced by Arthur Rizk (Blood Incantation, Cirith Ungol) and engineered by Aidan Elias (Blood Incantation, Wayfarer)
