Blasphemer announce new album ‘The Sixth Hour’

BLASPHEMER have announced a new album!

Titled The Sixth Hour, the upcoming album from the Italian extreme metallers is their third studio album and is scheduled to be released in January next year.

The upcoming album showcases twelve songs of pure blackened-death metal, mastered at the famous studio Hertz in Poland, known for their work with BEHEMOTH, DECAPITATED and VADER. Fundamentally a concept album, The Sixth Hour‘s main theme is the way of the cross, i.e. the last day of Jesus Christ, the path that led him from the Gethsemane to Golgotha. The aim of the album is to depict Jesus as merely human, trying to transpose into music the agony he felt in the last day.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “the unholy crusaders have found their vexil: the phoenix. BLASPHEMER‘s third opus will see the light under the Candlelight Records banner.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be taken from the upcoming album; titled The Deposition.
