Rigor Sardonicous - Commandment [Official Lyric Video]
Released on July 2, 2026 by Meuse Music Records.
---------------
Rigor Sardonicous is a two-piece Death/Doom Metal band formed in the early 1990’s in Long Island, New York. (USA)
The band is delivering a Death/Doom cult sound like nobody else.
They draw a style and sound among the likes of bands such as Symphony Of Grief, Winter, Autopsy, Obituary, and create a raw, crushing heaviness that is extreme within the genre, more akin to slow death metal than melodic doom.
Described as “uplifting as a post-genocide funeral procession” and “what real funeral doom should sound like”, their tone becomes immediately identifiable once you hear it.
Driven by low vocal delivery and buzzing guitar riffs, it’s difficult not to be moved in some way.
---------------
'Diatriba Deorum' is the 8th album from Death/Doom cultists Rigor Sardonicous. It continues the bands legendary sonic style with refinement that comes with exposure.
Dangerously slow and agonizingly heavy, it pummels forth a vile element of rage directed at mans concept and names of god. With an outlook that will herald no hopes for human salvation it delivers a limbic listening experience that is dense and existential with dread.

Lyrics:
Do as I say for I am the One
The sacred, the holy, never undone
Fall to your knees the pride that you feel
Hold guilt, bear shame, the human is killed
Made in disgrace of an image so shunned
Faulted perfection your whims are for none
Ascension decreed for misery in life
Salvation denied in perilous pride
As your Redeemer I beseech your birth
The option is a choice of valueless worth
Yet without my name held dear in your heart
Your soul shall be futile, a punishment stark
Beleaguered as man my invisible hand
Shall crumble your want of desire
Wretched in pain the infernal flames
Do blind the kind from the liar
