Transparent red vinyl in gatefold sleeve, limited to 200 copies.

Background information about ''

Hierophant delivers an absolutely crushing manifesto with "Mass Grave" – a relentless sonic assault that pushes the boundaries of extreme metal into uncharted territories of brutality. This Italian powerhouse has crafted something genuinely terrifying here, blending death metal's surgical precision with doom's suffocating weight to create an experience that feels like being buried alive in molten lead. The opening track "Hymn Of Perdiction" sets the tone with its apocalyptic atmosphere, while "Execution Of Mankind" hammers home the band's misanthropic vision with bone-crushing riffs that could level mountains.

What makes "Mass Grave" so devastating is how Hierophant balances sheer aggression with moments of haunting melody that somehow make the brutality even more effective. Tracks like "Forever Crucified" and the title cut showcase the band's ability to create genuine atmosphere within their wall of sound, while "Crematorium" and "Eternal Void" prove they can sustain intensity across an entire album without losing focus. The production captures every nuance of their apocalyptic sound – from the bone-deep bass rumble to the razor-sharp guitar work that cuts through the mix like a scythe through wheat.
