Five The Hierophant’s dark, sludgey psych is terrifyingly good

‘Queen Over Plegethon’ from London psychedelic metal newcomers Five The Hierophant hits way over the eight minute mark, but refuses to let up for even a second.ย The entire track is an instrumental sludge assault, bulging with ambient guitars that pierce some kind of eerie brass section backdrop.

With some funk elements infused with a magnificently heavy bass groove, if the sound of impending doom could be put to record this is precisely what it would sound like.
