Italy's Hierophant recently wrapped recording their new full-length album at MV Multimedia Studio. Titled Peste, this 10-song album is the follow-up to 2013's acclaimed Great Mother : Holy Monster LP. The band said that Peste is "...way heavier, massive, and more evil than the previous one!" Peste is scheduled for release on CD, LP and Digital formats via Bridge Nine Records worldwide.

It was hard to fathom Italy's Hierophant harnessing the potential to create a record heavier and more malicious than 2012's Great Mother : Holy Monster, an already pummeling whiplash of American D-beat-inflected metallic hardcore. Lo and behold: Peste manages just that as a superior, succinctly crushing assault, its tendencies largely erring on the side of European death metal. Hierophant spell out the desolation and desperation leveled by a war amid the id, ego and super-ego, all torturous, violent imagery and morbid, damning assertions that make it a pleasantly grim nightmare to suffer through.
Hierophant formed in 2010 and have toured relentlessly with the likes of Deafheaven, Xibalba, Oathbreaker, Tombs, Pelican, Cancer Bats and many more ever since.

All Peste pre-orders also include a free copy of the Inganno 7" and an instant download of both its tracks: "Inganno" and a cover of Nirvana's "Negative Creep".
