REVIEW:
"Tapping into the shrouded mysterious and symbolism of the Tarot, the latest release from those fine connoisseurs of all that is great on the peripherals of experimental music, Submarine Broadcasting Co., is a veiled atmospheric acid-hippie folk, post-punk and kosmische style album from Colorado’s Black Tempel Pyrämid.

Depending on which way you flip it, the album’s titular Hierophant represents the educator and the universal tree of knowledge. Etymology speaking, from the Greek, it means a person who brings religious congregants into the presence of that which is deemed holy, or, an interpreter of sacred mysterious and arcane principles, who is often illustrated by the image of the Pope in some Tarot decks. Make what you will of the auguries and relevance, metaphors of this esoteric ceremony; steeped as it is in a haze of the Durutti Column and Ash Ra Tempel fanned phaser and sustained scuzz-rippled guitar lingering, tubular bell tolls in the mists and Fritch and Coil like ritual sacrifices. Drifting towards the hypnotising in one way, yet menacing in a warp reversal of Sunn O))) death cultism in another, these Fort William coven acolytes lay down an almost bestial soundtrack of feudal time travelled cosmic mysticism that summons up the spirits and visions of krautrock’s more dream realism and spaced-out in the galaxy trips: the sound of magik hippies mesmerised by their teacher’s sagacious teachings. The Hierophant is a transformative doorway into another world." - Monolith Cocktail (2021)
