Melodic-melancholic doom outfit Sermon have announced their sophomore album, Of Golden Verse, is scheduled to arrive on March 31st via Prosthetic Records. To celebrate the album announcement, the group has shared a visualizer for their new single, “Golden.”

Sermon’s Him comments: 

“‘Golden’ is as close to a political song as I think Sermon will ever get to. A song that tells the tale about a reign, weighing down on those under it, until they are bound by it. It’s an important song to the record semantically and musically. It’s a pulsating build, that ascends to a ferocious musical climax. ‘Golden’ is the almost-title-track on of ‘Of Golden Verse’, an album themed on abuses of power; from an individual, cultural, religious and political level, with each song a fragment of that. It’s been a long time coming and we can’t wait for the world to listen.”
