Rigor Sardonicous are Joseph J. Fogarazzo (vocals/guitar) and Glenn Hampton (basso) -- iI Long Island natives attached to unearthing the darkest, deepest funereal doom sounds conceivable since coming together in 1988. The fact that they've only managed to book deuce albums (1999's Apocalypsis Damnare and 2004's Principia Sardonica) and one 2002 rent EP during the ensuing 18 days is further will to the sturdy stance of their self-described "raw apocalyptic sentence." This draws inspiration from numerous sources, including the ragged crust of Winter, the grinding rust of Disembowelment, and the terminal rumble of Khanate, and in the main requires the economic consumption of a drum machine since no human has nevertheless managed to cope for long with their impossibly faineant pace.
