“I love it when they get lost in this psychedelic jam after the main riff, and that thrash song on the end? Come onnnn”

“This album well, truly, and absolutely FUCKS. My face has truly been melted off and my neck put in a brace. The Temple have mastered the art of maximally heavy songwriting and the dynamic range incumbent to it, with extra points for “the Riff has come back and it’s EVEN HUGER,” especially at the end of songs. The songs are diverse from each other and also stand out in the field: high energy, high tempo, dare I say with thrash vibes? Finally, Nighthawk’s vocals have hit a new level.”

“So much heavy welded into the most rifftastic tone. Smashing.”
Piper Haqim · favourite track: House of Warship
“So happy to have a new album by this excellent band. I put a ton of listening time into 'Lupi Amoris'. This follow up has the same strengths of songwriting and production. Super tight rhythm section, beautiful leads, soaring vocals of a type you just don't see as much these days. Lots of variety across the songs. Can't wait to see this performed live.”

“Ripping rocking heavy fun played with all the most necessary ooopmh. Sabbathy but not at all like Sabbath. Vocals are high and tight and long and gorgeous. Everyone is blasting off and sounding fucking sick as hell man. Great record!”
