On the heels of an album widely considered to be one of 2024’s best releases, Philadelphia’s Crypt Sermon return with a new EP: ‘Saturnian Appendices’ .The 4-song EP is out August 8 on Dark Descent.

A collection of B-sides taken from ‘The Stygian Rose’ album sessions, this new EP offers a deeper look into the psyche behind the story, extending the arc of its predecessor with a darker, more introspective lens. “Conceptually, the new tracks ‘Only Ash And Dust’ and ‘A Fool To A Believe’ illuminate the shadowed thoughts of the narrator from ‘The Stygian Rose’ expanding on the tensions that arise as one confronts the conflicts between orthodoxy and occult” offers vocalist Brooks Wilson. Sonically, EP is firmly rooted in the band’s signature doom-laden dark heavy metal sound. Grandiose melodies wrap around a crushing volley of monolithic riffs for a commanding and epic performance. Featuring three, brand-new, original tracks and a transcendental revisioning of Mayhem’s ‘De Mysteriis Doom Sathanas’, music offers fans a compelling experience steeped in grandeur and philosophical unrest.
