Belgian doom band Wyatt E. headline this evening at Phono in Aarhus, joined by the UK collective Five The Hierophant. Wyatt E. are back with the first part of a planned double album, an ambitious new direction that explores exile, history and myth through experimental doom. Expect two drum kits recorded at once, the saz, viola, sitar and flugelhorn, and for the first time their work includes vocals, among them an Iranian singer and a choir.
Five The Hierophant come from Croydon in South London and have spent ten years building a hypnotic sound that blends doom, drone, jazz and post metal. Their latest album, Apeiron, is their most refined yet, with the saxophone of Jon Roffey shaping dark, meditative rituals. The two bands are also playing together in Copenhagen the evening before, at Råhuset on 2 December.
