Pre-Order: Dreadspawn Dominion [LP] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Like a mighty battle trireme, Temple of Dread are leaving their port on the East Frisian island of Spiekeroog to deliver brutal death metal with the new massive ram bow "Dreadspawn Dominion" to all that dare to try and block their course. Musically, Temple of Dread remain true to their old school death metal roots but continue to expand their sonic range by further honing their cinematic aspects with even more dark and heavy elements that began to receive special attention on the previous albums "Beyond Acheron" (2023) and "God of the Godless" (2024). These veterans are making full use of their vast experience and audible confidence in their deadly craft to add true emotions into their often rather technically focussed genre. Once again, these hardy islanders make use of classical themes from the ancient world with lyrics penned by their friend and long-time collaborator, the psychologist Frank "Doc" Albers. Temple of Dread were founded on the island of Spiekeroog in 2017 by Markus Bünnemeyer with the intent to play old school death metal. Originally a trio, the band has now grown into a five-piece. With "Dreadspawn Dominion", Temple of Dread do not just deliver about everything that their old school death metal following might desire but also invite listeners from other realms on the darker and harder side of metal to lend an ear. Listen and behold: an ancient darkness is rising to claim your souls!
