TETHRIPPON is totally dedicated to the holy memory of our glorious forefathers.
Rest in peace in the eternal skies.
The heroic dayrunner Efchidas son of Euphorion started his painful journey after the glorious battle of Plataies willing to bring intact the clean fire back to the holy altar of his city while triumphal songs were shaking the skies giving hommage and honour to the valliant and virtuous Olympian descendants of Achilleas or Hercules, like Titormos. The robust shepperd of Etolia gladly showed to Milon of Kroton the essence of the true God blessed strength.Rivers of envied wine started to flow in a feast of joy while Dionysus himself was dancing, sharing the joy of his children. Be glad …the Gods shouted while carrying the pure soul of the warrior into their sacred domain… We won..We won as followers of His traces till eternity…Son of Ammon Zeus, Serapis ruler of the world. Tears of pride, joy and loss for him and for the departed as mother night comes to sooth the wounds of the honest and humble who brought dignity and glory to all pure hearts. May they be singed till the end of days as they lived nameless in the holy shadows of pride and justice. Their material raw, clean and untouched by the bringers of hate and destruction. You the righteous will prevail,Tartarus awaits for their invalid souls.
“Nzinga Mbande” is the new album by the African Imperial Wizard collective. It is the soundtrack of the armed liberation from the imperialistic oppression that our continent has endured for far too long.
The “Nzinga Mbande” manifesto consists of eight martial symphonies. They all been have composed enduring pain and suffering and serve the purpose of giving our countries, which have been lacerated and battered by centuries of colonialism, the epic military ceremonies they deserve.
Our main goal with this new musical opus is to hand out orders to our troops and to maintain our military cohesion, the culmination of which will translate to Pan-Africanism and the profound intimidation of our enemies. If you do not sense any danger coming, this could be the first sign of you losing your mind and if you listen carefully, you may already be able to hear the wailing of your dead haunting the battlefields devastated by our armed forces.
Because today more than ever, enough is enough. We won’t stop arming our warlords and their rebel battalions. We won’t stop arming our bloodthirsty mercenaries. We will continue to rely on our proud women warriors, who will follow in the footsteps of our ancestral queens Nzinga Mbande and Sarraounia and will reduce to ashes all those who dare show them and their devastating bastions any resistance. Make no mistake, we will not hesitate to resort to rearming our children. Our child soldiers helped us before, and they will do so again without a moment’s hesitation in the face of what we have had to put up with. We would rather see them die by our side in excruciating pain than letting them fall to your Machiavellian enslaving doctrines.
Nothing has been forgotten of the painful wounds that colonisation inflicted upon Africa. We counted every hand you cut off, every rape, every slave raid, every looting, every torture session, every poisoned watering hole, every crime, every assassination, every mass murder, every massacre, every genocide, every mass grave and every hour of forced labour which you imposed on us. Mark our words: our dead have slowly but surely been counted.
The toll is outrageous, and the abominable numbers speak for themselves and the horror we have been through. But believe us, we are more determined than ever and, may our gods be our witnesses, our vengeance will be all the bloodier. Barbaric invaders, look around you, we are already here, ready to draw our old Kalashnikovs and don’t worry, they do still work, and we can assure you they won’t jam.
Finally, African Imperial Wizard will come to play their most glorious laments in your cemeteries. Our sorcerers will make sacrifices on your graves to the memory of Soundiata. We will glorify the spirits of our great forefathers who fell in battle. The same fate awaits you.

Zothique (Clark Ashton Smith) «He who has trod the shadows of Zothique And looked upon the coal-red sun oblique, Henceforth returns to no anterior land, But haunts a later coast Where cities crumble in the black sea-sand And dead gods drink the brine.
He who has known the gardens of Zothique Were bleed the fruits torn by the simorgh’s beak, Savors no fruit of greener hemispheres: In arbors uttermost, In sunset cycles of the sombering years, He sips an amaranth wine.
He who has loved the wild girls of Zothique Shall not come back a gentler love to seek, Nor know the vampire’s from the lover’s kiss: For him the scarlet ghost Of Lilith from time’s last necropolis Rears amorous and malign.
He who has sailed in galleys of Zothique And seen the looming of strange spire and peak, Must face again the sorcerer-sent typhoon, And take the steerer’s post On far-poured oceans by the shifted moon Or the re-shapen Sign».
HIEMIS is a Spanish musical project belonging to the dark ambient genre that began its journey in 2018 after a period of reflection on an earlier stage with the darkfolk project Silent Love of Death. («The Poet´s Senses» 2004-Palace of Worms, «Donde Habite el Olvido» 2011-GH Records)
In the little HIEMIS life I have published my music with the North American label Noctivagant with Phillip Abraham as well as with the Spanish label GH Records with the responsible Avencio Delgado.

The latest album La Chose, about to be released under the GH Records label in spring 2021 in a very special edition as it will be accompanied by an esoteric ritual book translated into two languages, Spanish and English.
Although its sound has evolved to more ritual sounds, it maintains immersive textures together with drones in dark and disturbing environments.The main evolution that HIEMIS has had at this time has been at a con
