SERMON OF MOCKERY - Crippler Crossface Murder Suicide EP review


 

SERMON OF MOCKERY - Crippler Crossface Murder Suicide EP

Comatose Music 


I've been a fan of this label ever since they gave Raleigh's own one man death metal act, BLOODSOAKED, a chance years ago. Actually they gave em a couple of chances and I've got the releases to prove it. But be that as it may this label has put out a bunch of releases that I like as well as own. Basically they're into releasing really Brutal Death Metal and Grindcore. But it's all in the sick fuckin shit mode which yeah I'm a fan of. 


DON'T JUDGE ME!


Anyways this four song EP by SERMON OF MOCKERY came my way as the holy grail of brutal DM (according to the PR info) as well as having a wrestling reference. The latter would be Chris Benoit. But musically this is your basic early CANNIBAL CORPSE on steroids. Is it good? Well yeah I like it enough. 


Vocalist Johnny Paoline, also of MORTAL DECAY, is a monster on here with his hellish screams, grunts and guttural singing style. Guitarist Oleh Matiytsiv's style is a mix of tech death and grind rhythms. Dmytro Semkiv lays down some thick sounding bass lines. And finally there's Lev Kurgansky's drum work which is phenomenal. Four songs worth of filth and damm good.
