Hour of Penance thank you for staying intense!! We always listen to you on the way to house fires. Fire Fighter music!!

The best brutal death metal band in the world!!

Wow they're back..great track,great video!! Hideous Divinity, Fleshgod Apocalypse and now this..it's time for italian death metal for rising!!

[@carl-d2d9b]

that's heavy god damn

[@Chaos30310]

This is sick

[@tubeman69]

This sounds much more like their sound and speed and style of "The Vile Conception"-era HoP. Which was my favorite album of that entire year. Very excited to hear this album and see how many more bangers is packed into this one!

[@rudyrosasjl]

Agree! Paradogma too. I always felt that after Mauro and Franceso left the band something was missing but this is great return to form.

total sickness wait the cd !!

[@Rafooky92]

Been a fan and devoted follower since my teens ... Never been truly disappointed or fully underwhelmed. An inspiring band for me; 'Regicide' helped me be saved from a deep depression, alongside Behemoth's 'The Satanist.' Also: that animated style and imagery... made me a bit sick in my gorge... Effective art; AI or no AI, it's still 'Art'. Great combination with the sick riffs and beats... ¡¡Adelante, compañeros!!

[@urtgorgoroth]

ai has nothing to do with art. It's quite the opposite. The founder of midjourney openly admitted to have taken millions of images of models, photographers, painters, illustrators etc. to train the ai and without asking for the copyright holder's permission. The ai you're defending is based on thievery. Additionally it has no soul, no creativity and no craftsmenship behind it. It's literally typing words into a prompt and ai does all the work.

Ugh the AI...

[@anthonytenkku43]

AI art is derivative of other works and is not original. So now they have an unoriginal album cover (that quite frankly looks like it used their last album cover as the basis for itself) and an unoriginal AI music video. Way to keep the artistic spirit alive and well 🙌.

[@panjisyahputra4384]

The music is full of anger as usual. but the AI is too repetitive and bored

[@RR-zg7ei]

Just spend a lil bit of money for real art; this is just bad man....... How many more times can HOP redo Sedition before people completely start caring.

[@exurosanctus]

People don't realize how much it takes to even get someone willing to do all of this animation for a metal band even with all of the money in the world. Even generating something like this takes a whole lot of time and artistic direction, it's not just clicking a button and you're done.

[@illumibloodp0rne529]

Seems you don't possess enough braincells to at least try to think of, how hard and demanding it is to produce anything as a band in a Not-major-music genre. Those Bands have to invest a lot by themselves. Putting out music and promoting is a lot work and expensive, especially these days

[@illumibloodp0rne529]

I personally love hop exactly for that reason. im glad, they're keeping their style. with a every new lp, u get those riffs. When people stop crying for absolute no reason. U can go masturbate on style changes album for album at another band. some just like to keep it steady. i personally need no sax in my death metal xD

I wonder if their music is also AI, given how generic it sounds, I wouldn't be suprised if it is. However, the music itself is not really an issue here but rather this sad decision to use AI for the visuals in the video and on the album cover. Disgrace to real artists.
