Hour of Penance will enter "16th Cellar" studio in Rome august 27th  with Stefano Morabito as sound engineer to start tracking the instruments of their fourth yet untitled new album(announced soon) ,  follower of the highly acclaimed 2008's "The Vile Conception" released by the renowned Unique Leader Records.

Commented front man and guitar player Giulio Moschini : " After less then a year of songwriting we're finally ready to hit the studio and record the new album . We're very satisfied with the results of the songwriting sessions , everything went smooth and all the songs came out in a spontaneous way. We have enough material to record almost two albums but as we did with the previous album " The Vile conception" , only the best 10 songs will appear on the new opus. This time we will work with Stefano Morabito to get a more "live" approach and a more natural sound to the new album which will embrace a lot of new and different features from the past releases. I'm sure our loyal fans will not be disappointed when they hear the final result!"

More details about mixing , artwork , title and tracklist of the new H.O.P album will follow soon. Meanwhile check out the bands myspace page at www.myspace.com/hourofpenance
