In the four years since the release of their debut EP, Executionist has sharpened the blades of its attack, both in terms of songwriting and performance!
Sacrament of the Sick is a monumental step forward from Executionist’s previous material. Improved production, performances, and writing have made the Executionist sound nearly unrecognizable compared to the band’s debut EP, Destined for Destruction. Each track was meticulously crafted and poured over in Executionist’s home studio, and the final product shows that it was worth every ounce of attention. With a clear focus on melody and tighter songwriting, Sacrament of the Sick is a sonic journey sure to leave a lasting impact on the listener.

BIO:
Executionist was officially formed in 2021 by brothers Brett and Tristan Ash, who were 17 and 13 years old, respectively at the time. Their debut EP, Destined for Destruction, was released on January 27, 2021. Two years later, Executionist released “GENESIS 666” (March 2023).
After playing many shows together as a mere two-piece, Executionist finally added a bass player in 2024, in the form of Austin Rose. The three played more shows together before finally rounding out the lineup by adding Mike Kinder on guitar in March of 2025. Around the same time, Executionist announced the forthcoming release of their debut full-length album, Sacrament of the Sick. The lead single “Serrated Shadows,” has already been released, with another single set to release on April 18. With the release of their album on the horizon, Executionist aims to play live as much as possible while writing new music for their next project.
