HOUR OF PENANCE: Exclusive “Betcha Can't Play This” Video Premiere At Guitarworld.com


Today Guitarworld.com’s “Betcha Can't Play This” segment features HOUR OF PENANCE guitarist Paolo Pieri showing off his method of shred. To check out the video and realize how much more you need to practice, go to THIS LOCATION.

The Italian death metal squadron will release their anticipated Sedition full-length to North American masses on March 27 (April 2 in the UK and April 6 in mainland Europe) via their new label home, Prosthetic Records. The album was recorded at Cellar Studio in Rome with producer Stefano Morabito and is the follow up to 2010’s acclaimed Paradogma (Unique Leader), which Decibel described as a bludgeoning slab of death metal in the Morbid Angel/Immolation vein…surprisingly catchy machine-gun riffs, blasting drum patterns and the occasional nod to grindcore brethren Nasum and Napalm Death. Gleefully damned… planet-cracking intensity.”

HOUR OF PENANCE will hit North American shores for the first time ever supporting The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile and Skeletonwitch.  The trek will include a stop at New England Metal Fest.

In related news, HOUR OF PENANCE are among the finalists to open this year’s Summer Slaughter fest and they need you vote! Cast your vote HERE.

“Sedition is marked by the haunting sustain of lead guitar over monstrous low end tech riffing and boatloads of invisible oranges moments to accelerate the carpel tunnel to which we are all so prone.” -- Shreddernet
