Ohio-based death cult Crypt Rot just released a new video for "Pit Of Morbidity," which hails from the band's freshly exhumed "Embryonic Devils" debut.
Formed in 2016 by a crew of scene veterans including several current/former members of Homewrecker, Crypt Rot enlisted Bill Korecky at the Mars Compound for the recording of "Embryonic Devils."
Lead vocalist / guitarist Ryan Sposito commetns: "The video was filmed in Ashtabula, Ohio, the indoor scenes filmed above the Harbor Perk Coffeehouse, and the outdoor scenes were filmed at bassist Aaron Schwarz's property. Director Jim Roberts went to school with me and since graduation he has released many B Horror movies. It felt like the perfect opportunity to collaborate.
"My friend Miles Ackroyd went to George A. Romero's school for makeup and special effects. Fortunately, I knew a lot of friends who could help make the video; the total budget was $600. I wrote the song lyrically after my brother passed away from brain cancer. So essentially, the plot is me as 'Father Flesh' guiding the younger version of myself through the horrors to come as a metaphorical way to express my extreme suffering in loss." More...

Crypt Rot Announces "Embryonic Devils" Release
Sinister new Southern Lord signing Crypt Rot is preparing for the release of debut LP, "Embryonic Devils," which is now confirmed for release on April 28th. Southern Lord comments:
"Still in embryonic stage, Crypt Rot was conceived in Ashtabula, Ohio in 2016, however members of the group have been cutting their teeth in various other bands for some time. Crypt Rot was formed by lead vocalist/guitarist Ryan Sposito (former frontman of Homewrecker), drummer/vocalist Matt Izzi (Homewrecker, Scorched), guitarist Joe Dedomenic, bassist Steve Cray (formerly of Homewrecker) and since replaced by Aaron Schwarz, with additional vocals from Allie Dioneff.
"Crypt Rot summons an ominous atmosphere on this debut, segue between pummeling blackened death metal fury, packed with caustic vocals, drop-tuned aggression, relentless riffs, spine-tingling harmonies, and creepy sounds from the darkest catacombs. Lyrically the band probes matters of life, death, politics, (anti) religion, suffering, and mental health, and takes influence from the masters including; Carnage, Dismember, Death, Cannibal Corpse, Repugnant, Deicide, and Dissection."
