Apeiron, the title of the latest Five The Hierophant record, translates to ‘boundless’ or ‘unlimited’. It’s a rather fitting name when considering the lack of genre constraints that the band have saddled their music with.

I'm hit and miss when it comes to jazz elements infused into metal but this band does such a splendid job. Great songwriting and intstrumentation, very dark, quirky and atmospheric. For me they're like the Frank Zappa of metal.

A bit of a step down from the last album in terms of memorability. Definitely more uh..."meditative" than the last album in the sense that the vibe doesn't really evolve as much within each song - it all seems to blend together for me without any of the evocative climaxes I heard from the last one. The acoustic instruments don't seem to take the lead as much, which I thought was their forte. Not that those aren't present, but rather than they take on a more drone-y or wild stance, but rarely something in between like a nice melody.
