The term Aeolian, in regards to music, has all kinds of meanings relating to chord progression, scales, harmony and tone. High Priest Of Saturn have deepened their already spell binding doom and incorporated more of a looser, jam style nod to the those trippy parts of the first five Sabbath albums, making their sound bluesy and subtly multi layered as the Hammond organ adds a tumbling, trembling delicacy to their craft.ĭespite having recorded Son Of Earth And Sky back in August 2014, the album is a step on from their debut as opening track Aeolian Dunes shows, with the slow burning epic vibe turned up to the metaphorical Eleven, while the music ebbs and flows from grinding doom to the haunting, layered with other-worldly female vocals, heavy with echoey effects like the siren song of a spectre.

CD THE PRIESTS HARMONY FULL
This year’s follow up, Son Of Earth And Sky, sees the three piece of Heggset, Andreas Hagaen (guitars/drums) and Martin Siversten (guitars) fleshed out by the addition of full time organist Ole Kristan. Starting out very much under the influence of Sleep and Black Sabbath, they carved out luscious thick slabs of doom that inched their way across the frozen landscape, guided by the sound of bassist and vocalist Merethe Heggset’s ethereal voice. Bursting onto the scene with their Roadburn approved Self-Titled debut album back in 2013, they set out their stall as competent doom merchants with a flair for bombastic, occult laden sensory deprivation.

Norway is known more for it’s glaciers, coastal fjords and black metal than it is for a laid back psychedelic 60s/70s vibe, but that is exactly what High Priest Of Saturn are, determined to disprove with their latest outing.
