Correlating with their most momentous and intense work to date, the Arizona-based instrumetal duoTEMPEL have unveiled the transfixing cover artwork for their upcoming sophomore release, "The Moon Lit Our Path," which will be released via Prosthetic Records on June 16. The meticulously hand-painted artwork, as seen above, was completed by illustrator Lucas Ruggieri (Kylesa, Dragged Into Sunlight, Cough).
"The Moon Lit Our Path" consists of five colossal tracks that fuse haunting blackened post-metal melodies with progressive accents and atmospheric tinges. You can listen to a one-minute sample of new material in the below teaser video or directly via YouTube HERE.
"The Moon Lit Our Path" Track Listing:
  1. Carvings In The Door (8:22)
  2. The Moon Lit Our Path (9.33)
  3. Descending Into The Labyrinth (12:20)
  4. Tomb Of The Ancients (9:59)
  5. Dawn Breaks Over The Ruins (12:03)
 
 
Hailed by MetalSucks as "the proverbial needle in the instru-metal haystack," TEMPEL consists of Ryan Wenzel (guitars, keys) and Rich Corle (drums). Founded in 2003 as a full band, the group eventually dwindled down to its remaining two core members in 2006. Instead of pursuing new additions, Wenzel and Corle decided to continue on as a two-piece instrumental band and focus their craft in the recording studio. Blending the darker elements of metal with the melodic, the duo continued to construct demos for their self-released debut, "On The Steps of The Temple," which Prosthetic re-released in 2014 to critical acclaim. The six-track record introduced the band's distinctive sound -- thunderously heavy instrumentals that mix progressive, black, death and post-metal into one mammoth sonic cocktail.
