The blasphemous Italian death metal quartet HOUR OF PENANCE continues to pull no punches on its sixth album, "Regicide." The title for the follow-up to 2012's acclaimed "Sedition" is defined as the act of killing a monarch, and its venomous, anti-authoritarian blasts of brutality — recorded at Rome's famous 16th Cellar Studio (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Eyeconoclast) — sees the group at its fiercest.
