Italian death metal quartet HOUR OF PENANCE will release their new album, Regicide, on May 13th in North America, May 12th in the UK/EU and May 16th in Germany/Austria/Switzerland/Australia via Prosthetic Records.
Regicide features cover artwork completed by Gyula Havancsák (ANNIHILATOR, DESTRUCTION, GRAVE DIGGER) which, like the album, revolves around the themes of destruction, rebirth and the killing of the king. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Rome’s 16th Cellar Studios (FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE), the album is described by the band as “a bone-crushing feast for old and new fans…more varied and brutal than everything we’ve done so far.”
The album’s first CD pressing will be a limited-edition digipak that will contain three bonus tracks. Those bonus tracks will also be available via download card to anyone who orders the album on vinyl or cassette, as well as anyone who orders the deluxe edition of the album on Bandcamp or other digital providers.
