Info
- Band(s): Temple of the Beast
- Label(s): Iron Bonehead Productions
- Release Format(s): 12" vinyl, CD, EP
- Release Year: 2024
- Review Date: September 2, 2024
- Author(s): Ricardo
Temple of the Beast is Black Metal from the USA by Blackthorn of Thornspawn, although he uses the alias DarkWvlf for this project.
The music itself is different from Thornspawn as well, as with Temple of the Beast DarkWvlf is exploring the occult magick and darkest tombs of Black Metal. The deep vocals are more back in the mix, which enhances the cryptic and occult like atmosphere once done by Beherit, early Samael and Mystifier.
‘Geminian Arcana’ is an interesting EP for those who dwell in occultism and enjoy Black Metal from the catacombs.
