Dark Essence Records have set the 22nd September as the release date for Over Phlegethon, the debut full-length album from Five The Hierophant, who recently signed to the Norwegian label, known for its uncanny ability to sniff out promising new talent to add to its roster of established and iconic bands.
With Over Phlegethon, the UK trio have brought the full weight of their ritualistic soundscapes to bear. It is a dark and devastating album, imbued with psychedelic black metal, jazz, post metal and ambient, all of which, combined with the band's trademark heavy riffs, drone-like atmospheres and a black metal intensity, reveal a sound and atmosphere that is unique to Five The Hierophant.
This uniqueness if further emphasized by the unusual array of instruments used by the band, whose lineup is composed of Chris on drums, temple bells, djembe, shakers and gong, Mitch on bass and effects, and महाकाली on guitars, bowed guitars, rag-dung, violin and grand piano noise.
Over Phlegethon was recorded and mixed at Scream Studios in London. The cover art for the album is a painting entitled "Dust Lickers" by Odd Nerdrum. Tracklist and front cover artwork are below.
