Die schärfste Kritik der Realität ist der Realismus. Der Idealismus sieht großzügig über die Grenzen der Dinge hinweg. Der Realismus fokussiert genau diese Grenzen. Und da "Kritik" sich mit den Grenzen des Geltungsbereichs einer Sache befasst, ist Realismus selbst Kritik der Realität, während der Idealismus vollkommen unkritisch ist und bleibt - eben: grenzenlos, die Dinge träumend, aber nie erkennend. Die Realität kritisiert sich selbst. Die Realität selbst ist "kritisch".

Five the Hierophant – Apeiron Review

By Carcharodon

I wanted to love Five the Hierophant’s last album, 2021’s Through Aureate Void. I really did. Alas, it was not to be. However, after seeing them play a great set at ArcTanGent in 2022, I revisited that record. While I stand by everything in that review, including the 2.0, which some viewed as harsh, the potential was clear and Five the Hierophant was tantalizingly close to delivering a worthy follow-up to their very good debut, Over Phlegethon. The British quartet’s brand of psychedelic, jazz-inspired, instrumental post-metal had elements of greatness marred by meandering, over-indulgent songwriting that lacked standout ideas. However, I can’t think of another 2.0 that I’ve given, where I would be as genuinely interested and optimistic as I was going into Five the Hierophant’s third album, Apeiron. Could they tighten up the formula and deliver that great record I know they have in them?

While there is no paradigm shift in Five the Hierophant’s sound on Apeiron, there is a clear expansion of vision. Building on the model of Through Aureate Void, the foundation remains one of dark, sprawling atmospheres, pregnant with ambience and pent-up threat (“Tower of Silence I”). The backbone of Five the Hierophant’s sound is built around bass, guitar, drums, and other percussion, apeing the likes of BRIQUEVILLE to create a rich, textured post-metal soundscapes (title track). However, where some bands rely on a vocalist to punctuate and enhance their compositions, Five the Hierophant have Jon’s sax. Crooning, whispering, screaming, the sax commands the sound stage (“Uroboros”), just as it is allowed to do in places on White Ward’s albums also. However, not content to rest on its laurels, the band is ever-expanding its horizons, broadening the already extensive array of tools at their disposal to now include horns, trumpets, gongs, bells, violins, skull shakers, and more.

Apeiron is a Greek word meaning that which is unlimited or infinite. What Five the Hierophant do so well is to capture that sense of both scale and organic fluidity. The overarching drone and ambient elements feel boundless and vast, amplified as they are by not only the horns and violins (“Moon over Ziggurat” and the title track), but also the liberal use of effects (end of “Tower of Silence I” and closer, “Tower of Silence II”). The sax, as well as the trumpet and other adornments, then light up the inky void, sometimes flowing like quicksilver (“Moon over Ziggurat”), sometimes more challenging, insistent, even angry (the opening title track), occasionally recalling the freeform lines of Neptunian Maximalism or an instrumental Pan.Thy.Monium. Even as we slip into looser, more chaotic soundscapes (middle portion of “Initiatory Sickness”), the whole of Apeiron retains an identity and cohesion that does great credit to Five the Hierophant.

A cursory listen to Apeiron might suggest that Five the Hierophant has delivered a freeform creation, light on tangible structures. However, while this may be true using only traditional metal as your reference point, there is a model or blueprint for the material that runs through the record. Each track opens in languid mood and, even where there are threatening or forbidding overtones, the sound is delicate, restrained slow-burn. It then gradually builds towards something more powerful and cathartic, punctuated by chaotic forays along the way. Perhaps this basic mold is responsible for the cohesive feel of Apeiron. However, it also means that, after a few listens, you start to lose the sense of indefinite exploration and feel instead like you are on a moist, well-trodden, slightly predictable path. That said, despite only being four minutes shorter than Through Aureate Void, the material on Apeiron feels significantly tighter and less meandering, with the sole (and unfortunate) exception of “Tower of Silence II.” This was, sadly, entirely the wrong five minutes with which to close the album. If only Five the Hierophant had stopped at the end of “Uroboros” (or, I suppose, swapped the two tracks), this could have been a far superior experience. As it is, Apeiron finishes on a disappointing siding, rather than a triumphant main line.

The production on Apeiron is a significant step up from previous albums. Rich and dynamic, it imbues Five the Hierophant’s sound with genuine power, while the master allows the legion of constituent elements sufficient breathing room. Indeed, it’s not just the production, but also the songwriting that represents a significant step up. Where Through Aureate Void meandered aimlessly, Apeiron feels like a journey, albeit with diversions and detours en route. If Five the Hierophant can now finetune their process to maintain the feel they’ve imbued Apeiron with, while slightly reducing the structural predictability, their next record will be truly masterful.

Menschen sind Wesen, die gemeinsam Dinge erfinden und herstellen können, mit denen sie gemeinsam nicht umgehen können.

Nicht alles, was wir herstellen können, ist auch so, dass wir dafür gute Umgangsformen finden können.

Insgesamt bekommt das Thema "Grenzen dessen, wofür wir gute Umgangsformen finden können" zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit von uns. Es ist dann für uns so als gäbe es diese Grenzen gar nicht, obwohl es sie ganz offensichtlich gibt.

Wenn Du jemanden oder etwas liebst, sind Dir die Grenzen dessen, wen/was Du liebst, überaus bewusst.

Ist das nicht der Fall, ist es keine Liebe, sondern die Selbstberauschung an der Verbindung zu einer vermeintlich unendlichen Macht. - Und dahinter steht als Motiv nicht Liebe, sondern Angst.

Is #Yin like Greek #apeiron? #Yang as individuating out of it? #Taoism #philosophy

A. C. Graham, Disputers of the Tao (1989)

In the 'Inward Training' the descent of the daimonic is understood in terms of ch'i, a word we shall leave untranslated. It was soon to be adapted to cosmology as the universal fluid, active as Yang and passive as Yin, out of which all things condense and into which they dissolve. But in its older sense, which remains the primary one, it is like such words in other cultures as Greek pneuma 'wind, air, breath'. It is the energetic fluid which vitalises the body, in particular as the breath, and which circulates outside us as the air. At its purest and most vital it is ching, the "quintessential', which above is perfectly luminous as the heavenly bodies, circulates in the atmosphere as the kuei shen (which at this depersonalising stage we translate 'the ghostly and daimonic'), and descends into man as his shen 'daimon', rendering him shen ming 'daimonic and clear-seeing', so that he perceives the myriad things with perfect clarity.
