Hour of 13 - Hour of 13

March 24 2008 at 06:39:30 AM

Surrounded by whispering vapors from the past, redolent of the gods below and already destined to be a cult favorite by the album’s cover, Hour of 13’s debut succeeds where others have fallen far short of the mark more here... 

Impiety - Formidonis Nex Cultus
