Rome, Italy (1999 – present)

Hour of Penance is a Technical/Brutal Death Metal band that formed in Rome, Italy in 1999.

The band has so far released five full length studio albums: Disturbance in 2003, Pageantry for Martyrs in 2005, The Vile Conception in 2008 Paradogma in 2010, Sedition in 2012. Their lyrical themes are based on Anti-Religion, Torture, Morality and Social Issues.

Formed back in 1999 Hour of Penance started as a black-death cover band. The sound made by all those incredible bands from Florida, was what H.O.P. was trying to emulate. The band began to write songs, combining the sound of their different influences from Europe and USA.

In October 2000, H.O.P. release their first demo, which was recorded in only two days at the Outer Sound Studios (by Giuseppe Orlando of Novembre). The mini-CD is 20 minutes long, and includes the first song H.O.P. ever written, that gave the name to the band. It immediately made H.O.P. well known in Rome (a few times later also in Italy, after some positive reviews by ‘zines and webzines), the band had some shows in the city, playing with other metal bands.

H.O.P. enter Outer Sound Studios again in September, 2001 to record a split 7” (still waiting to be released for Warlord Rec.) with Cadaveric Crematorium (Brescia, Italy).
