Finnish melodic death/doom metal band Serpent God is set to release their debut album ‘Denial’ on October 10th 2025 via Inverse Records. The third single ‘sermon’ is released today and it’s available on most streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/serpent-god-sermon
The band comments:
”Sermon on blood, sermon on death”
“The song is up-beat and has a bit of threatening and eerie feeling to it. Lots of classic 90’s Swedish metal elements as building blocks. Starts with heavy double kicks and heavy riffing, no questions asked. Backing choirs create ritualistic or religious wibes to the song. Life is a one long and painful ritual after all. “Like an iron mask forged in brimstone, finished in the flames of hellfire.”
BIOGRAPHY:
Serpent God is a band formed 2023 in Iisalmi, Finland. The birth is heavily related to Se, josta ei puhuta -band’s writing process; lots of material were created that didn’t fit in the spectrum of Se, josta ei puhuta. In general, the material was more slow-paced and more eerie. However, the mentioned material was also way too good to be deleted, so therefore another output was needed, so Serpent God was born. Different branches grow from a tree with strong roots. Serpent God has its foundation in extreme metal, but there are also heavy influences from post-rock, doom and smaller splashes of more avantgarde sounds.
