Hierophant signs with Agonia Records

Italian-based black/death metal purveyors HIEROPHANT have signed a record deal with Agonia Records for the release of the band’s sixth studio album and successor to “Death Siege” (2022). The as-yet-untitled album is currently in the works and is expected to surface next year.

“We enter a new path into the abyss. A pact has been sealed with Agonia Records,” HIEROPHANT comments. “The next offering is already taking shape, set to emerge in 2026. This marks another step towards the infinite darkness. There is no light ahead. Only the coming ruin. Hail to Chaos.”

Since their last two albums, “Mass Grave” (2016) and “Death Siege” (2022) – both released on Season of Mist – HIEROPHANT have carved their path into the extreme metal underground with a relentless and furious approach. Following the conquest of the most prestigious stages (Hellfest, Party.San, MetalDays), the “Death Siege” ranks pushed the limit to the extreme and ultimately forged the first live album in the band’s career. Recorded at Hellfest in 2023, “Gateway to the Abyss” (released via Dusktone) is the feral representation of what HIEROPHANT‘s music is about: hatred, blood, nihility.

“Now, with eyes set upon our new offering, the path descends even deeper,” the band wraps up.
