Description

Black vinyl with a full coloured 21×21 cm booklet. Limited 200 copies

Temple of Evil was summoned into existence in Nicosia in Cyprus back in mid-2008 during an unhallowed congregation performed to express its philosophy and its main ideology. Since then, they have been working on their first epos. An initially independently release came out in December 2015 as a digital format only. Now we have it on vinyl for the first time. The 7th Awakening is a ruthless debut album. It features eight tracks of pure unadulterated black metal, summoned as an expression of personal meditation in each individual’s reanimated inner spirits. Fierce, harsh black metal at first, but showing a melodic, pagan and deeply personal touch after a deeper listening session. Taking us back to a time when the genre was first incorporating these elements. Bands that come to mind are Rotting Christ, Emperor and perhaps Satyricon, all in their first few inceptions. Yet, with Temple Of Evil, the emphasis doesn’t seem to be on furious blast beats and aggression. Instead, this act focus on a more ritual and atmospheric approach.
