HIEROPHANT’s brutal brand of blackened death metal and sludge eviscerates and slams in a nonstop motion of extreme sonic force. This Italian unit has been serving the forces of revolutionary modern death metal since their self-titled debut six years ago, and Mass Grave(2017) may genuinely be their heaviest album to date. HIEROPHANT are fantastic old school style death metal rippers, and right up your alley if you reminiscence on early Morbid Angel, Bolt Thrower, or Obituary.
