Label: Dark Descent

Reissued 9/4/2026, Originally released 2019

LIMITED REPRESS ON EXCLUSIVE TRANSPARENT PURPLE VINYL!!! Hot foil stamping, insert, gatefold jacket, D-side silk screen. CRYPT SERMON’s The Ruins Of Fading Light—the follow up to 2015’s critically acclaimed debut Out Of The Garden—is a collection of existential meditations set to the backdrop of looming, apocryphal vestiges from a lost dark age. The lyrics explore the limits of faith and family, life and loss, strength and pride. Between thundering riffs and plaintive moments of acoustics, the music explores new territories on the landscape of epic doom and heavy metal. Still, one message echos as Crypt Sermon march onward, “We’re doomed.”
