In an age when it seems like there are countless good Doom albums to choose from it is hard to pick a starting point; Out of the Garden came to me on a 100% random basis. Crypt Sermon delivers a solid blend of Doom and more traditional Heavy Metal which reminds me instantly of Dio most obviously because of this frontman's epic pipes. Undertones of folk and medieval times throughout. Brooks Wilson's vocals are the best part of Out of the Garden which also has strength in its production and some memorable guitar parts. Best tracks for me are Temple Doors, Heavy Riders, Ancients Call and Master's Bouquet with the last being the most unique and standout track of the album despite its touch of silliness. Despite showcasing great vocals, some insane guitar solos and moments of creative songwriting I don't find myself going back to this album much and the individual tracks don't stand out much. Many of the riffs blur together and become forgettable but I see some potential in Crypt Sermon and future efforts could be great with some small changes considering the talent the band members possess.

A solid recreation of traditional doom metallers Solitude Aeturnus' early sound, but not as interesting.

Last year, Doomocracy from Greece attempted harbouring the sound of Solitude Aeturnus with fair success; this year, it's Crypt Sermon, yet another newly emerging act (from the ever vibrant East Coast metal scene) paying its dues to the Texan epic doom metal legends, while trying to add something on their own in the final mix. Band certainly stands above average vocals/arrangements-wise, whereas the only thing detracting some merit from its debut effort, is that utterly dedicated attachment to SA itself.
