TEMPEL - CD ON THE STEPS OF THE TEMPLE

Popis - ON THE STEPS OF THE TEMPLE:
'On The Steps Of The Temple' is the crushing debut from Arizona based duo TEMPEL. A kaleidoscopic landscape of doom fueled instrumental post-metal over five colossal tracks and an intelligently crafted album for appreciators of Neurosis or Isis, alongside the epic progressiveness of Enslaved, perhaps.
Formed in 2003 by Ryan Wenzel (guitars, keys) and Rich Corle (drums), TEMPEL manages to blend metal's dark and melodic elements seamlessly. 'On The Steps Of The Temple' has already received praise from notable press outlets such as The A.V. Club, who proclaimed, "Tempel takes things to uncharted-and astounding-territory... this is not your typical ethereal, chin-stroking post-metal." Featuring 53 minutes of towering riffs, crushing drums and hauntingly powerful compositions, 'On The Steps Of The Temple' consists of "a perfect balance of dedication and originality" (Sludgelord). The album's cover art, features a painting by the iconic ancient Chinese landscape artist Li Cheng.
