Dark Essence Records have announced the details of Through Aureate Void, the second full-length album from Britain's Five The Hierophant, a band that uses unusual instruments to create a dark and drone-like universe where psychedelic black metal combines with jazz and doom to devastating effect. Set for release on the 26th February 2021, Through Aureate Void contains 5 tracks and features a cover by the legendary Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum.

The band explains: "It took us longer than anticipated, as you can imagine, due to circumstances that befall us all. Nonetheless, the new album is finished, and ready to take you on a journey through aureate void. It's quite abstract, and there's lots of experimentation, both in regard to the sound and instruments used, and to the song structures. A lot of it comes from improvisation and leaving things to chance. I suppose we have taken it further than our debut album."
