Debut album from 1993 by New York's PYREXIA, one of the bands that helped shape the sound of American Brutal Death Metal during the early 1990s. Released at the height of the genre's first wave, "Sermon of Mockery" quickly achieved cult status through its overwhelming brutality, exceptional musicianship and distinctive identity within the highly competitive New York Death Metal scene.
The album delivers crushing riffs, flawlessly executed tempo changes, intricate song structures and an uncompromising balance between speed and crushing heaviness that never lets up. Keith DeVito's deep growls, combined with outstanding guitar work and relentless drumming, create a sound that is both technically impressive and utterly devastating. More than three decades after its release, "Sermon of Mockery" remains an essential landmark in the evolution of Brutal Death Metal.
