SERMON
BIRTH OF THE MARVELLOUS (PROSTHETIC RECORDS)
SERMON is an anonymous musical force based out of London, UK, dedicated to preaching the concept of spiritual and theological balance.
In a world of divisive opinion and reckless faith, their output aims to craft a thoughtful intersection for all beliefs.
This can be seen at the forefront of their debut album, `Birth Of The Marvellous', which is out on Prosthetic on March 22nd 2019.
A sprawling cinematic vision of an album - crafting vast, cosmic atmospheres around dynamic song-writing - `Birth Of The Marvellous' is undoubtedly one of the most ambitious UK debuts of recent years.
It's a unique experience, hinting at extreme metal influences whilst building from alternative and progressive foundations.
Whilst very much a unique entity, a flavour of diverse acts such as Katatonia, Porcupine Tree, Tool and Schammasch gives you a lazy reference for what lurks inside.
SERMON is a band that can create and will create anything it desires. The sound is formed and driven by regal vocals, otherworldly percussion, soaring mellotrons, witha dense wall of tumbling bass and spacious, distorted guitar.
The debut album, Birth of the Marvellous, was recorded over the year of 2017. A concept album, driven by a theological legend.
While certainly the album has a religious context, the band has no religious bias, neither for, nor against.
Contrarily,it is vehicle to spread the message of equilibrium. In June 2018, SERMON were contracted to Los Angeles based Prosthetic Records who will deliver their sound to the waiting world.
When the time is right, SERMON will perform with the aid of a group of dedicated professionals to bring it's grand and majestic sound to a live audience.
