Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Documented collaborators

Dark Sermon is a Tampa-born metal project known for blending blackened death metal and deathcore with sludge and doom textures. Formed in 2009 as In Reference To A Sinking Ship, the group rebranded to Dark Sermon in 2012, channeling a heavier, more atmospheric approach as they evolved from fast, aggressive riffing to doomier, groove-laden heaviness. Their work has highlighted a steady musical progression and a commitment to confronting extreme metal with both ferocity and atmosphere. Here’s an insider look at their journey, discography, and current touring landscape.
