Singiel i zapowiedź trasy FIVE THE HIEROPHANT

 

UK-based, saxophone-driven, instrumental, avant-garde/post-black metal, eccentrics, FIVE THE HIEROPHANT, announce new studio album “Apeiron”, set for release on October 18th via Agonia Records. Listen to the first single “Initiatory Sickness”, here:

A European tour will coincide with the release of “Apeiron”, starting from October 11th. Supporting the band on select dates will be Thantifaxath and Inter Arma.

FIVE THE HIEROPHANT continues to walk the winding path they’ve chosen for themselves in the beginning; further down towards within, and further out towards new horizons. Refusing to ascribe to a singular style, they blend elements of black/doom, psychedelic, ambient, experimental and jazz into one syncretic trip. “Apeiron” is a hypnotic, hallucinatory experience with heavy emphasis on the dark atmosphere, cinematic dreamscapes, and repetitive ritualistic trance-inducing sounds. The production, without a doubt, is a step up from the previous installment, “Through Aureate Void”. The band keeps expanding the use of atypical instruments, such as: horns, trumpets, gongs, bells, violins, skull shakers, ritual drums and other tools, which help to capture the haunting spirit of the music.
