TEMPLE OF DREAD (Germany) – Blood Craving Mantras (used LP copy) (2019) Released by Testimony Records on Transparent Violet(Purple) vinyl - limited to only 100 copies worldwide.
The full listen to "Blood Craving Mantras" is bracing from start to finish and will immediately resonate with folks who are in tune with Europe’s next step up from Florida Death Metal’s influence in the very early 90’s. TEMPLE OF DREAD arrive professional, thoughtful, but ultimately a puritanical tirade of Thrashing Old School Death Metal that’ll please their people first and foremost.
For preview purposes the two singles released by Testimony Records (“Now You Will Die”, “Gone But Still Here”) are good curation thus far and the only track I’d throw in the mix is the opener “Suffocate The Fire” because it has some of the wilder solos and a wild vocal performance that set the tone for the record perfectly.
Highly recommended for fans of Dismember, Asphyx, Bolt Thrower and Entombed -- Testimony Records – TR 017LP
