Printed inner sleeve and protection sleeve (500 copies available). The north German Death Metal Band Temple of Dread was spawn in 2017 by guitarist\/bassist Markus Bönnemeyer and his school friend Frank Albers (lyrics). Along with drummer\/producer Jörg Uken (Soundlodge Studios) and vocalist Jens Finger (Slaughterday) the first full-length album \"Blood Craving Mantras\" was already recorded in late 2018 and released in 2019 on Testimony Records. Driven by the enthusiastic feedback on the debut album, Temple of Dread started working on new songs immediately: The new album \"World Sacrifice\" was first released on July 24th 2020 and it's name says it all! It contains eight new brain-drilling and head-splitting songs as well as a cover version of the Morgoth classic 'Sold Baptism'. \"Of course, the music still pays homage to fast old school Death Metal, but you can recognize a development\", says Bönnemeyer. \"We've put a lot of small changes, experiments and improvements to the new songs. Jens and Jörg have made a big contribution to the songwriting. The album takes no prisoners and it will kick your ass from the first note to the last!\" Tracklist: 1. World Sacrifice 2.

In 2017, guitarist\/bassist Markus Bönnemeyer decided to use his many years of experience as an active musician (e.g. Thrashhammer, Slaughterday) and metal fan to start a new Death Metal band. Songs in the spirit of old Death Metal heroes like Death, Benediction, Pestilence, Morgoth etc. Should be created. Together with his school friend Frank Albers he developed a concept for the project Temple of Dread. Bönnemeyer started composing songs and Albers wrote the lyrics. In 2018 the first songs were worked on. The music clearly pays homage to fast old school Death Metal, but a very own style emerged. On the one hand this might be due to Bönnemeyer's special residence - the North Sea island Spiekeroog - the islanders are usually said to have a mind of their own. On the other hand, it is also due to the creativity arisen from many years of experience. The lyrics of Temple of Dread are also remarkable. Albers - psychologist and extreme metal aficionado - writes about the generally threatening, suffering and human abysses. However, he writes his lyrics in a way a little untypical for Death Metal and seasons them with portions of dark black humour. After the main features of the first songs were finished, the search for a drummer and a vocalist began. The quality of the song material convinced Jörg Uken (drums, Soundlodge Studios, Slaughterday, ex-Stormwarrior, ex-Rumble Militia and many more) and Jens Finger (guitarist of Slaughterday, ex-Obscenity), who wanted to contribute the vocals, immediately. The songs of the first album \"Blood Craving Mantras\" were recorded and mixed at Uken's Soundlodge studio in East Frisia (Germany) in winter 2018\/2019. The results emthralled everyone involved in such a way that it became clear instantly that Bönnemeyer's project had to become more. The band Temple of Dread was born. 8:16 AM 2. Suffocate the Fire 3.

After the previous albums \"Blood Craving Mantras\" and \"World Sacrifice\", which were acclaimed by critics and fans, Temple of Dread complete their opening triple with the new hateful chunk \"Hades Unleashed\". The album was released with nine brand-new songs on July 23rd 2021 via Testimony Records. The band's third album was of course recorded and produced once again by the band's drummer Jörg Uken in his Soundlodge Studio in Rhauderfehn, Germany. \"Despite the two extremely strong previous albums, we managed to pack a few more bits on top! 'Hades Unleashed' definitely contains our strongest material so far\", says Markus Bönnemeyer, guitarist of the North German Death Metallers. \"The album keeps what our name promises - even if we experiment more within the genre boundaries than on the previous albums. We have written the fastest songs of our career so far and slowed down the pace significantly on some of the other songs. All in all, the listener gets a fat piece of Old-School Death Metal, seasoned with a good portion of eighties thrash.\" The lyrics, once again written by band friend Frank Albers, deal conceptually with ancient, mainly Greek, myths. The congenial cover artwork was designed by the Italian artist Paolo Girardi and perfectly reflects the mood of the album. Tracklist: 1. Aithon's Hunger 2. Necromanteion 3. Wrath of the Gods 4.

The north German Death Metal Band Temple of Dread was spawn in 2017 by guitarist\/bassist Markus Bönnemeyer and his school friend Frank Albers (lyrics). Along with drummer\/producer Jörg Uken (Soundlodge Studios) and vocalist Jens Finger (Slaughterday) the first full-length album \"Blood Craving Mantras\" was already recorded in late 2018 and released in 2019 on Testimony Records. Driven by the enthusiastic feedback on the debut album, Temple of Dread started working on new songs immediately: The new album \"World Sacrifice\" was first released on July 24th 2020 and it's name says it all! It contains eight new brain-drilling and head-splitting songs as well as a cover version of the Morgoth classic 'Sold Baptism'. \"Of course, the music still pays homage to fast old school Death Metal, but you can recognize a development\", says Bönnemeyer. \"We've put a lot of small changes, experiments and improvements to the new songs. Jens and Jörg have made a big contribution to the songwriting. The album takes no prisoners and it will kick your ass from the first note to the last!\" Tracklist: 1. World Sacrifice 2.

In 2017, guitarist\/bassist Markus Bönnemeyer decided to use his many years of experience as an active musician (e.g. Thrashhammer, Slaughterday) and metal fan to start a new Death Metal band. Songs in the spirit of old Death Metal heroes like Death, Benediction, Pestilence, Morgoth etc. Should be created. Together with his school friend Frank Albers he developed a concept for the project Temple of Dread. Bönnemeyer started composing songs and Albers wrote the lyrics. In 2018 the first songs were worked on. The music clearly pays homage to fast old school Death Metal, but a very own style emerged. On the one hand this might be due to Bönnemeyer's special residence - the North Sea island Spiekeroog - the islanders are usually said to have a mind of their own. On the other hand, it is also due to the creativity arisen from many years of experience. The lyrics of Temple of Dread are also remarkable. Albers - psychologist and extreme metal aficionado - writes about the generally threatening, suffering and human abysses. However, he writes his lyrics in a way a little untypical for Death Metal and seasons them with portions of dark black humour. After the main features of the first songs were finished, the search for a drummer and a vocalist began. The quality of the song material convinced Jörg Uken (drums, Soundlodge Studios, Slaughterday, ex-Stormwarrior, ex-Rumble Militia and many more) and Jens Finger (guitarist of Slaughterday, ex-Obscenity), who wanted to contribute the vocals, immediately. The songs of the first album \"Blood Craving Mantras\" were recorded and mixed at Uken's Soundlodge studio in East Frisia (Germany) in winter 2018\/2019. The results emthralled everyone involved in such a way that it became clear instantly that Bönnemeyer's project had to become more. The band Temple of Dread was born. 8:16 AM 2. Suffocate the Fire 3.

After the previous albums \"Blood Craving Mantras\" and \"World Sacrifice\", which were acclaimed by critics and fans, Temple of Dread complete their opening triple with the new hateful chunk \"Hades Unleashed\". The album was released with nine brand-new songs on July 23rd 2021 via Testimony Records. The band's third album was of course recorded and produced once again by the band's drummer Jörg Uken in his Soundlodge Studio in Rhauderfehn, Germany. \"Despite the two extremely strong previous albums, we managed to pack a few more bits on top! 'Hades Unleashed' definitely contains our strongest material so far\", says Markus Bönnemeyer, guitarist of the North German Death Metallers. \"The album keeps what our name promises - even if we experiment more within the genre boundaries than on the previous albums. We have written the fastest songs of our career so far and slowed down the pace significantly on some of the other songs. All in all, the listener gets a fat piece of Old-School Death Metal, seasoned with a good portion of eighties thrash.\" The lyrics, once again written by band friend Frank Albers, deal conceptually with ancient, mainly Greek, myths. The congenial cover artwork was designed by the Italian artist Paolo Girardi and perfectly reflects the mood of the album. Tracklist: 1. Aithon's Hunger 2. Necromanteion 3. Wrath of the Gods 4.
