about

Archierophant's debut and sophomore E.Ps remastered together and released on Cassette, Compact Disc and available for digital downloading.

Both releases have been taken and combined from the Archierophant one man era which featuring guest vocalists Kieran Scott (Grimorte/DeathCollector/Ashen Crown) on Hierophant/Kingdom and Sami Tuohino (Oenos) on Kuolla/I Do Wander.

All instrumentation and lyrics written by L.Borthwick (Execpt Kuolla, written in Finnish by Sami Tuohino and I Do Wander, which were taken from A Midsummer Night's Dream written by William Shakespeare.

Review: Razor's Edge
There’s something familiar yet totally fresh about the second E.P. from Archierophant. 23 minutes of atmospheric blackness that serenades and assaults the senses in equal measure. It’s a masterful E.P. from one of the UK’s many up-and-coming talents, and another demonstration of the quality that Borthwick has delivered in all of his music.

Review: Headbanger
A foundation so flawless that it’s astounding to witness no matter the occasion, and it’s with the entirety of “Kingdom” that Archierophant has cast their bid as one of the bands that absolutely must be known when it comes time for this specific corner of heavy metal to blossom into something that we weren’t ready for.

Review: Diaries Of Doom
What's arguably most impressive here is how cohesive the music all sounds here, with regard to how many different spheres of influence are present. Trust me, though, this is not one to go under the radar.

about

Archierophant London, UK

Entwining cathartic vocals alongside nontheistic lyrical themes. Archierophant leans toward the more raw black metal genres with hints of traditional dungeon synth, Gregorian chants and cinematic orchestration.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

US Black Metal. Some fantastic ideas here for this debut! Having said that, unfortunately the vocals do not come out loud & clear which is a shame. But the music is great & multilayered & requires a few listens to fully absorb. Oh and the riffs are out of this world! Love the cover too :) Recommended! bmurator
