NEWS: Instrumental duo TEMPEL unveil new track from debut album

December 10, 2013  •  Leave a Comment
 
Having been applauded for "tak(ing) things to uncharted - and astounding - territory" (AV Club), the Arizona instrumental metal duo TEMPEL are scheduled to release their debut record, "On The Steps of Temple," via Prosthetic Records on Jan. 21. Today, No Clean Singing premieres the album track "Rising From The Abyss," which you can listen to at this location.
 
In true DIY fashion, "On The Steps of the Temple" was self-recorded and -produced by members Ryan Wenzel (guitars, keys) and Rich Corle (drums). Featuring 53 minutes of towering riffs, crushing drums and hauntingly powerful compositions, the album ventures through a variety of sonic landscapes, effortlessly combining post-rock with melodic metal. The album's cover art, pictured above, features a painting by the iconic ancient Chinese landscape artist Li Cheng. You can pick up a pre-order of the album on either CD or 12" vinyl from the Prosthetic webshop now: http://www.indiemerch.com/prostheticrecords/band/tempel
 
"While much instrumental metal leans toward the proggy, post-metal end of the musical spectrum, TEMPEL have woven their dark tapestry primarily with strands drawn from death metal, doom, sludge, and black metal...
 
A musical meditation on greed, self-delusion, and their perils, 'On the Steps of the Temple' is ominous, densely layered, and utterly crushing. Even for a solely instrumental work that exceeds 50 minutes in length, it’s an intense listening experience that commands attention from beginning to end." -- No Clean Singing
