Founded in Rome in 1999, Hour Of Penance are now considered one of the most intense, talented and important death metal bands Italy has ever produced. Their eighth album 'Misotheism' is characterised by the same momentum and perfectionism with which the band achieved their status. We have put the same passion and concentration into working on the record as we did on our debut', say the members. Success has never been a matter of course for us. Instead, we have always tried to live up to the standards our listeners expect and at the same time try to push our own boundaries to come closer to perfecting our sound'. The result is an album that should exceed all expectations 'Misotheism' sounds pitch-black and brutal, is a death metal soundtrack for the collapse of the universe.
