The brand new album from Italy’s state-of-the-art death metal maelstrom that is HOUR OF PENANCE.  A blasting masterpiece of the highest unholy order from connoisseurs of prime Behemoth, Nile, Decapitated and classic Morbid Angel. Death metal is more than just music. Death metal is the aural expression of humanity's darkest side, of devastation, sorrow and the harbingers of mankind's own inhumanity & ultimately its destruction. Death metal is not a trend, a fashion parade or a means to an end.  It is much more than that. It is a way of life. A life in death.

This is the doctrine HOUR OF PENANCE spew forth with unrelenting musical veracity through their sickening, mind-obliterating auditory assault on the senses. Forged in the dark shadows of "The Holy Capital", this most unholy of quartets have steadily been making a name for themselves as one of the most intense, talented and impressive, both in the studio & live onstage, modern death metal bands around.

These tyrannical troubadours of brutality have so far spread their plague of destruction across the breadth of the European continent from pulverizing festivals in Portugal & Spain, in the West laying waste to Germany, the Netherlands & central Europe to besieging the Czech Republic in the East. Fresh from playing all manner of festivals including SWR Fest (Portugal), Neurotic Deathfest (Netherlands), Brutal Assault, headlining on home soil (Tattooing Death Fest, Italy) and numerous German gatherings (from Deathfeast Open Air to Summerblast, even headlining Ludwigshafen Fest) the band have also subjected the masses to a master-class in precision brutality by touring Europe with Kansas' finest, ORIGIN in a match made in the bowels of hell itself.

HOUR OF PENANCE are poised to strike & devastate the ears of the loyal disciples of death metal once more with a merciless master class in brutality entitled 'Sedition'.  Unleashing a likely tour de force in maniacal death metal brutality, a celebration of music in its darkest and most inhuman form, HOUR OF PENACE have ascended to an even greater height of precision savagery.
