Five The Hierophant / United Kingdom


New album "Apeiron" out October 18th 2024 on Agonia Records 

Five The Hierophant open a new cycle, with the release of their new album "Apeiron", followed by an european trek with Thantixafath, including crushing sets at Soulcrusher Festival and Desertfest Belgium. This 3rd full-length opus sees the london-based quartet pushing its instrumental doom trances to new cinematic and introspective eights, pushing deeper the use of atypical instruments such as: horns, trumpets, gongs, bells, violins, skull shakers, ritual drums and other tools. 


Bleak, dark and devastating sound that combines heavy riffs, drone-like atmospheres and an intensity you only find in Black Metal. Using instruments like the djembe, rag-dung, violin, bowed guitars and saxophone, alongside a normal band set-up, Five the Hierophant, delights its listeners with unique and varied soundscapes. The band started their live activity with an epic set at Desertfest London in 2018, quickly followed by a European Tour with Thaw and Arrm and several Festival appearances such as Rock in Bourlon (Fr), Tales Of Drone (Ch), Red Smoke Festival (PL) and many more.

After releasing  "Through Aureate Void" on February 26th 2021 on Dark Essence Records the band played at Roadburn 2022, including "Atonia", a collborative commissioned piece with Wyatt E and Tomer Damksy, released as a live album in 2023. Five The Hierophant have established themselves as a stellar live act of psychedelism, notably on festivals such as : Mystic festival, Arctangent, Red Smoke, Mount or Artan, or tours with Wyatt E.
