News : Stream the first new Hegemon track in 7 years; “Credo Quia Absurdum”

By on October 14, 2015

Seven long years after Contemtpus Mundi, their third album, French black metal band Hegemon have returned with The Hierarch.

“Their acclaimed third album ‘Contemptus Mundi’ dealt with war through many different periods of human history, from ancient Greece through Egypt and Sumer to Mesopotamia. And since mankind never seems to learn, ‘The Hierarch’ again demonstrates that war and chaos are in its blood. This album touches upon the fact that the history of humanity lasts just for a a glimpse within the vastness of the universe. HEGEMON state: “We think that we are everything, but this is our greatest mistake. We are blind and thus we will stay until the end…”

HEGEMON celebrate 20 years of their dark existence with ‘The Hierarch’. And although its members remain nameless shadows, it shall be recorded that a new drummer and guitarist have joined in the meantime. The cult of black war lives …”

The Hierarch is due for release on November 13th through Season of Mist, and we’re pretty stoked to have the Australian premiere below of the first new track “Credo Quia Absurdum”.
