Dark heavy metallers Crypt Sermon released their highly-anticipated new album, The Stygian Rose, this past June. 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 arrived as a grander, more mysterious Crypt Sermon. The interflow of doom and heavy metals underpins The Stygian Rose, but these boundaries are effortlessly transcended.
The commanding rhythm of the album's first single "Heavy is the Crown of Bone" epitomizes the band's burgeoning musical and conceptual prowess. Now, Crypt Sermon unveil a never-before-seen video of guitarists Steve Jansson and Frank Chin performing the standout track.
Crypt Sermon tracked The Stygian Rose with acclaimed producer Arthur Rizk (Blood Incantation, Cirith Ungol) and engineer Aidan Elias (Blood Incantation, Wayfarer) at Redwoods in Philadelphia. Although Rizk handled Out of the Garden (2015) and The Ruins of Fading Light (2019), the team captured the band's multi-genre chaplet in a new light this time.
Adorned with captivating artwork and featuring an enchanting (yet dark) lyrical concept by Wilson, this is Crypt Sermon’s level-up moment. Dive into The Stygian Rose and experience its rich rewards.
Additionally, Crypt Sermon recently collaborated with Philadelphia's Attic Brewing Co. for their Give Back Beer Series which collaborates with local nonprofits. Their limited edition 'Saturnine Feline' is a brilliant nod to the darkest style of German lagers, the schwarzbier. Brewed with German malts and hops, this dark lager's smooth roast character is complemented with notes of dark chocolate and slight caramel sweetness that finishes clean and dry.
