RFI Ep. 329: Sacramentary Abolishment 

The drummer / vocalist used to play in another band called Rites Of Thy Degringolade with the dude from Svolder/Blood Libel. Another fun fact, one of the dudes from Tomb Mold was once in a band with the guy behind Svolder/Blood Libel. I find it hilarious that if you look hard enough pretty much everyone in the scenes paths have crossed in one way or another and if that fact happened to come out Tomb Mold would be in big trouble with the RABM bozos

I just found your channel and let me say man, you're fucking great. Keep on making badass episodes and I'll keep on tuning in :D

Man this channel deserves more subs

Sacramentary Abolishment: check, old Kataklysm mentioned: check, MA nerd-bashing: check, well done!

Between the constant use of that Jdawg clip, and that M-A review reading, this was the funniest episode in a while.

Good stuff as always. Would love to see a Sammath episode and some more BBH stuff

9:12 funniest Q and A from an interview ever.

So, we can hope for an Axis of Advance episode in the future? (say yes).

YES, I WILL WATCH THIS ONCE DAILY FOR A WHILE. THANKS JIUB!

The Jdawg soundbite got me rollin... Never listened to SA, awesome stuff, thanks!

Great episode, great band. Yes, an Axis of Advance episode would be cool too!

Funny you mention this war metal act being inspired by disEMBOWLMENT. Having listened to the Pantalgia comp they're on, a lot of the fast moments of their song reminds a lot of the first Bestial Warlust album. An australian band too funnily enough. Got that weird sound during the blasting moments that I don't remember the full length being that fast, even on the song they rerecorded.

I would do unspeakable things to have a reissue of Sacramentary Abolishment’s albums on LP and CD. Finding copies of their albums is like finding hen’s teeth or rocking horse manure.

Rites Of Thy Degringolade episode upvote!

Thanks for this episode, so glad to see people rediscovering Sacramentary Abolishment. By the way: besides Rites of Thy Degringolade, Paulus Kressman went on to play in numerous other bands. Haven't checked out all of them yet, but I can say Ouroboros sure does sound a lot like late Sacramentary/early Axis material - i.e. bestial war metal with some sense of grand, epic melody to it.

Very underrated stuff man, great episode!

This one certainly threw me for a loop. Sacramentary Abolishment is probably one of the best examples of what I think should be the “true” spirit of war metal. The only thing which tied all of those early war metal bands together, other than the sheer abrasion of the music itself, is that they all wanted to stray far away from any sort of label in favor of forming their own unique sound (ironic, isn’t it?). For me, where a band like Revenge falters, Sacramentary Abolishment excels! What other war metal band that you can think of can be described as having “lots of peaks and valleys” in their songs? I’m definitely looking forward to an Axis of Advance episode. I think Strike kind of a synthesis of the two styles we see on each SA album, and the resulting sound just sort of evolves and mutates with each subsequent release. On a side note, you’ve also convinced me to give more time into the early Kataklysm material. Great work as always!

Yo thank you for doing this shit. You are hands down my favorite youtube channel at the moment. I have binged so many of your videos. So many good recommendations. I have one question though! What does that dude say in that clip you use as a meme, something like: “oh yea baby got the big ass cigar hell to the yea?” Who is this guy??? I need answers!!!

HELL YEAHHHH, I’ve been waiting for you do SA or axis forever

One band that’s tied into this band and Rites of Thy Degringolade as well as Gloria Diaboli is AMSG. One of the most insane bands to come out of Canada just in how weird they can get. Definitely worth checking out.

Never heard this band, thanks for the introduction. Being a war metal elitist on MA must be a tough life.

Holy shit! Are you into Ñu? Wasn't expecting that clip at the end at all

Lmfao ‘the Graveland bounce’ 🤔🫠🤣 this is why I love this channel

Would you ever do a video about order from Chaos’s ?

HELL YEAH

That MA review is one of the most amazing pieces of comedy ever posted there. Even Bitterman wasn't that hilarious, and that's saying something.

3:54 - is that Japanese Beavis and Butthead? Sacramentary Abolishment is interesting shit, thanks!

Cool stuff. Their take on funeral doom sounds so unique and unexpected. Will totally check out.

I remember checking out axis of advance and sacramentary abolishment when I got into blasphemy, conqueror and revenge, axis didn't do much for me but sacramentary was actually pretty good even if it wasn't exactly what I was looking for at the time. I don't think either of them are war metal or blackened death metal, they are something else completely.

I'd like to see a comeback of the extreme metal elitism.

Warmarch is worth checking out too! Batshit record

Always had this question But I feel like I already know the answer Do you like striborg?

Hey RFI, do you have a email adress for submitting review material?

Thoughts on osculum infame - dor nu fauglith?

You fuck with Triumvir Foul?

Pretty unrelated but any chance you do an Incantation episode?

more kult than quality imo

This album is otherwise amazing, but the last song ruins the experience for me a bit. The vocals are so comical that it's impossible to take it seriously. It's almost like Donald Duck trying to do Black metal vocals

Yeah? No thank u
