Italialainen death metal -poppoo Hour Of Penance julkaisemassa seuraavaa albumiaan tammikuussa

Italialainen death metal -rykmentti Hour Of Penance on julkaisemassa uutta albumiaan tammikuussa. Yhtyeen tulevan albumin nimeksi on valikoitunut ”Cast The First Stone” ja sen julkaisusta tulee vastaamaan Prosthetic Records. Levyn nauhoitukset hoidettiin Kick Recording Studiossa bändin basistin Marco Mastrobuonon hoitaessa tuottajan roolia. Yhtye on kommentoinut tulevaa albumiaan seuraavasti:

“Sonically speaking , this is the best sounding album we’ve ever recorded. We really worked hard on this, listening to the album countless times before finally delivering the masters to Prosthetic Records. It was definitely worth the wait and we’re 100% satisfied by the great work Marco has done behind the mixing desk. We’ve literally spent weeks trying different mic techniques, hardware and preamps; all trying to avoid plug-in technologies as much as we could. We wanted our album to sound more dynamic and I think that we’ve achieved that 100%.”

“I believe that the political situation in recent years has brought to light again a millennial conflict between West and East. Events like the terrorist attack at the Bataclan, where we only played a few months before the massacre, have influenced the lyrics on this record very much. It does not matter who has thrown the first stone, but who first evolved his ideology to seek peace and coexistence instead of war to the bitter end.”
