Biography

Hierophant, formed in 2010, exponents for the Italian extreme music. After their first album, S/T, they never stopped playing all over Europe. In 2013 the band signed with one of the most important american labels that have marked the history of hardcore/punk, Bridge Nine Records and released their first album with them called 'Great Mother : Holy Monster', taking a step toward more extreme sonority. After several tours and festivals around Europe, the band started writing their new full-length 'Peste', published last November 2014.
Medias praised the latter work, the sonority of the band are even more extreme than the previous and their live activities absolutely don't stop. The band is touring Europe at the time, it's been confirmed to some European summer festivals and soon will land in the US and South East Asia.

HIEROPHANT's new album 'Mass Grave' is as bleak and ugly as the title that adorns it. A dark and violent exercise in total extremity at the crossroads where hardcore, grindcore and death metal collide, 'Mass Grave' is the sound of a dystopic society marching to its end. Recorded at The Pit (NAILS, XIBALBA, TWITCHING TONGUES, DISGRACE ) by Taylor Young (NAILS), and featuring stunning artwork from Paolo Girardi (POWER TRIP, BLACK BREATH, INQUISITION), 'Mass Grave' is nothing short of total brutality.
