Гелиогабал [Heliogabalus]

We present a large authorized edition of the works of the unique project Ierophania, which stood at the forefront of the "revival" of Russian noise music at the beginning of the 21st century. Ierophania has never been genre-oriented, constantly changing the background from album to album, but has always remained true to its once-postulated "ritual anti-art" manifesto. Ierophania is a refusal to create aesthetic constructions, but a ritual, as an act of communication between a person and the highest level of reality – the God. This is the extraction of your hidden God, the very image and likeness. The fourth full-length album of the project, previously released in micro-circulation on the German label SkullLine. Album-dedication to the youngest Roman emperor Heliogabalus. The album, as a symbol of the inevitable decline, inextricably linked with this name. The album as a chronicle of our "civilization" that does not deserve fate. Three monumental compositions at the junction of martial, neofolk and ritual industrial with dominant vocals. The album will soon appear on CD and is already available on cassettes, as well as for listening and downloading on our bandcamp and all digital venues. The recording was remastered for our edition. credits Originally recorded in 2009. Remastered in 2017.
