The First Three Sins of Condone and Condemn

The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion:
Music that emerges and feeds your inner monster.
As soon as the listener presses the play button, the opening piece, Absit Omen, greets the listener with a symphonic and orchestral opening…
As the listener continues their dark conclusion with the second piece, This Means War, and the four remaining pieces, the music emerges and feeds your inner monster. Prepare to be swept away by the raw power and intensity of Rot Fester’s new release. Despite its short length, this album is an unrelenting assault on the senses, filled with crushing death metal riffs, relentless beats, and pure, unbridled rage.
From the darkest, heaviest moments to the loudest, most intense sections, every moment of this album leaves you breathless and with a broken spinal cord due to the amount of headbanging with this old-school monster.
Condone and Condemn’s production seamlessly blends heavy/old-school sound with a dark Autumn tone. At the same time, the production boasts a distinct and clear sound that provides an immersive experience to the listener’s ears.
Rot Fester’s music is a fruit of art. It features diverse tempos and moods crafted to take the listener through the music. At the heart of this music lies the devilmanship and instrumentation of guitar, drum work and vocal work.
