Epitimia releases new track 'Epikrisis VI: Leucotomy' from upcoming Faces of Insanity album

The track 'Epikrisis VI: Leucotomy' from the upcoming Epitimia album 'Faces of Insanity' has now been made available for streaming and free download. This is the third and final track to made available from the upcoming 'Faces of Insanity' album which is Epitimia's third full-length and first release on the Canadian label 'Hypnotic Dirge Records' also known for acts such as netra, Ekove Efrits, stroszek, Subterranean Disposition, and The Foetal Mind. The 'Faces of Insanity' album is scheduled to be released in early July and will be available worldwide. The main concept of the album is to tell the story of an individual suffering from a mental disease. 

Epitimia is a three-piece atmospheric Black Metal, post-rock influenced band from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. "Epitimia (from Greek ἐπιτιμία - penance) is to be understood as an interdiction which, according to Church canons, the priest as a spiritual physician may apply in certain cases in order to treat the moral diseases of his spiritual children". But for the members of the band it has a little different meaning. Epitimia – is an individualistic way to control the human spirit through self-improvement and self-contemplation. 

Band members say: “With the every new album we try to improve the sound quality, to add new fresh tunes to our music, to improvise with the atmosphere. In our music we do like quotation from classical masterpieces, so if you are careful listener, you will find many interesting bright moments in our works”.

Over many painful hours, the HDR DISTRIBUTION SHOP has been completely rebuilt and redesigned as the old design was very tedious to look through, very much out of date, and the distro additions were always at the bottom. (Basically, it looked like shit) The new DISTRIBUTION SHOP has the albums set up much the same way as the Hypnotic Dirge, and Solitude Production sections of the website with the album covers on the index page, which is linked to a separate pa...
