Italian death metallers HOUR OF PENANCE and the band's drummer Davide Billia, have teamed up with Sick Drummer Magazine to release a drum playthrough video for the song "Flames Of Merciless Gods". The track appears on HOUR OF PENANCE's new studio album "Misotheism", out now on Agonia Records. Watch Davide run through the track at this link:

What we receive in the end is far better than what some may have been craving for: "Misotheism" is a pitch-black and delightfully brutal death metal soundtrack to a collapsing universe. "It pushed Hour of Penance to a new level of creativity. We're confident that you will enjoy the new album as much as we do", adds the band.

"Misotheism" was worked on in three different locations. Drums were tracked at Bloom Recording Studio (Italy), where the band "took advantage of the huge recording rooms and endless choice of microphones". On the other end, we have the Kick Recording Studio (Italy), where guitars, bass and vocals were recorded with Marco Mastrobuono, who also worked on "Regicide" (2014) and the last album, "Cast the First Stone" (2017). Finally, the band drove all the way to Poland, where the album was mixed and mastered at Hertz Studios (Behemoth, Vader, Decapitated). As the band reports: "Working with the Wiesławscy brothers was like putting the icing on the cake and thanks to their mastery we managed to achieve the perfect sound without making any compromises".

The cover for the album was handled by a Hungarian artist, Gyula Havancsàk (Accept, Annihilator, Destruction, Ensiferum). "He perfectly captured the overall feel of the album", comments the band.

With seven albums to their name (first two with Xtreem Music, later two with Unique Leader Records and last three with Prosthetic Records) and a reputation of a venerated live act (with tours across North America, Europe and Australia in the company of Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Devildriver and Misery Index to name a few), Hour Of Pnenace is now on the verge of introducing their latest work, "Misotheism", via Agonia Records, on October 25th. The band is planning to support their upcoming album on the road, having already played at Metal Days Festival 2019 in Slovenia, and looking forward to performing at the revered Eindhoven Metal Meeting 2019 in the Netherlands in December, alongside more shows yet to be announced.
