Only one year removed from their opus »The Stygian Rose«, Crypt Sermon returns with a brand-new EP titled »Saturnian Appendices«! Four tracks, over 25 minutes!
Pre-order links below. »Saturnian Appendices« releases on CD/LP and digital formats through Dark Descent Records on August 8th, 2025.
“On the heels of an album widely considered to be one of 2024’s best releases, Philadelphia’s Crypt Sermon presents »Saturnian Appendices«. A collection of B-sides taken from »The Stygian Rose« album sessions, the 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, »Saturnian Appendices« 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 Dom Sathanas« (released before only on flexi-disc through Decibel Magazine in 2017), »Saturnian Appendices« offers fans a compelling experience steeped in grandeur and philosophical unrest.
