Sermon of Rot – Embodiment of Evil Review opens and discusses the FIRST SIN: THE STRINGS/KEYS. Which consists of complex/technical guitar playing and thick dirty bass.

Let’s talk about the SECOND SIN: THE VOCALS, which involves mucus-soaked/filthy guttural vocals.

Moving on to the THIRD SIN: THE PERCUSSIONS, which delves into the vast world of breakneck, unrelenting drum strikes, and beats

In our following discussion about the band’s musical work, we will focus on the FOURTH SIN, the overall DISCUSSION of the album. Immediately, as the listener presses the play button, the listener is welcomed to the opening piece EMBODIMENT OF EVIL, which welcomes the listener to a dark atmosphere and piano introduction.

Follow suit with the remaining opening piece and the last five tracks, where the listener is dragged deep within a filthy dissonance atmosphere of death metal that’s ugly and punishing.

As the listener continues their rotting, filth-ridding, and dark-dissonance journey into the unknown, -this is how this music feels, with its sound and atmosphere drenched in this rotting filth of (takes a) traditional, no-frills approach to death metal of providing the listener with music that will suffocate the listener’s ears and infest your living soul with its rotting, filth-ridding and dark-dissonance atmosphere

At the same time, SERMON OF ROT draws on the classic sounds and styles of the 90s Finnish death metal, and – (be careful and listen out listeners for note tinges of more expansive) the Incantation influenced death metal sound with SUFFOCATION’s progenitor’s brutal death and technical atmosphere.

With a fantastic balance struck between the three members that ensures that the listener never gets too much of any and just enough of each

A musical spectrum presented with a production and sound that’s well-executed, the composing of the music and instruments all provided and delivered by incredible devilmanship consisting of NICK and BRANDON sharing the axe duties of complex/technically guitar playing of crushingly heavy riffage utilizing plumbing riffs with reverb-drenched leads. While NICK and JARED handle the thick dirty bass riffage on drums and vox consisting of breakneck unrelenting drum strikes and beats and mucus-soaked/filthy guttural vocals.

SERMON OF ROT is a debut album not to be missed for any fans of extreme metal, particularly those who like their music to be ugly and punishing

I wanted to share our thoughts and MEMORABILIA on the FIFTH SIN. The fact these guys don’t show any signs of slowing down, how each project is different, fresh, gets more rotten, uglier, impulsive, and punishing for the listener. In contrast, the music pushers further and deeper within the extreme musical spectrum chasm -how further can these guys push the extreme and their music? -time will only tell!

Let’s discuss the ARTWORK of the SIXTH SIN. Something from the cosmos world of “H.P. Lovecraft….”

Finally, closing the review with the last sin, the SEVENTH SIN, the DISRELISH. With nothing to disrelish within the musical world of SERMON OF ROT. This concludes the Sermon of Rot – Embodiment of Evil Review
