With just their self-titled debut album, Hour of 13 had already gained recognition as one of the most noteworthy old school Heavy/Doom Metal acts in today's scene, a status they cemented with their following full lengths "The Ritualist" and "333".
The original press of their debut album on CD and LP is totally sold out since years, so we decided to reissue it now, along with the exclusive vinyl release of their "333" album.
We revised and improved the layout of the original release. The CD comes in 6-page Digipack similar in design to the LP. The LP comes with gatefold jacket with classic doomy purple + silver print on glossy black 350g cover. The vinyls are available in three editions, 200x purple, 400x silver and 400x black.
Released:
CD - August 2013
LP - March 2013
Track List:
1. Call To Satan 4:35
2. Submissive To Evil 5:25
3. The Correlation 5:43
4. Endurement To The Heirs Of Shame 5:53
5. Grim Reality 3:28
6. Hex Of Harm 4:30
7. Allowance Of Sin 5:17
8. Missing Girl 8:01
Mixing elements of traditional Doom & Heavy Metal, Hour of 13 have crafted a sound well deserved unto them. Phil Swanson’s lyrics, dealing with the occult, black magic, Satanism and evil in general add to the obscure image of the band and go well with their traditional sound, creating a nostalgic aura and reminding the listener of the early 80s and bands such as Pagan Altar, Ritual and old Mercyful Fate.
Line-up:
Chad Davis – guitars, bass, drums
Phil Swanson – vocals
