Tampa, Florida-based metallers DARK SERMON have inked a Europe-wide deal with Nuclear Blast Records. The band's upcoming debut full-length, In Tongues, which will be released on March 26th in North America via eOne / Good Fight Music, will be available in Europe on April 12th.

Facing the recent Europe-wide signing with Nuclear Blast and the future cooperation, frontman Johnny Crowder comments: “Nuclear Blast is a label we have respected and revered since we started this band. It is both an honour and a privilege to be working with such a heavy-hitter in Europe. There's no one we'd rather have on our side!”

The debut was recorded at Audio Hammer Studios with world renowned artist Eeiran Kantor (HATEBREED, TESTAMENT) being tapped to create Dark Sermon's first official record cover. The official video for the title track can be seen below:

Dark Sermon was formed in 2009 and has been making their mark on the Florida scene in spades. The band uses their fast, thrashy riffs, bone-crushing blast beats, and throaty vocals to bring something fresh and new to the table.

Dark Sermon arrives in the worldwide metal community determined to stand apart from the cookie-cutter garbage and trend-following cretins who have overcrowded the scene. They don’t care about what’s marketable or what sells. The band has nothing less than total domination on their minds, armed with a new kind of heavy. The suffocating stomp of BEHEMOTH, the brash experimentalism of GOJIRA and the all-out ferocity of American heroes like JOB FOR A COWBOY and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER all have a home in the Dark Sermon cookbook, which slices and dices its way through the most exciting elements of metal’s subgenres with relentless aggression.

Dark Sermon lineup:

Johnny Crowder - Vocals

Austin Good - Guitar

Neal Minor - Guitar

Austin Chandler - Bass

Bryson St. Angelo - Drums
