When Hierophant sent us demos in the summer of 2012 for their then-forthcoming album, Great Mother : Holy Monster, we were floored. We were more than happy to partner with the band and release that album the following year. The Italian "death punks" followed it up with the even more powerful Peste about a year ago. The band has toured Europe and beyond steadily since then, and reconfigured their lineup recently with the departure of vocalist Carlo Aromando, with guitarist Lorenzo Gulminelli stepping up to fill his role.
We're now proud to say that the band has joined the Season of Mist label to release their next record. They've also announced tour dates for Australia and their home country of Italy. Check those out below.
Congrats to the band and keep up with them at Facebook for more updates on their forthcoming fourth full-length.
