TEMPLE OF DREAD - Single Premiere von "Asebeia"
East Frisian Death Metallers TEMPLE OF DREAD have released the third and final single from their upcoming new album "Beyond Acheron", which is scheduled for release on August 11th, 2023 via Testimony Records.
"Asebeia" is available for immediate publication via the following link: https://youtu.be/1-8dxQBxpXE
The song title derives from the Ancient Greek word 'ἀσέβεια', which translates as "godlessness" or "sin against the gods", which was a crime in the classic world.
Guitarist Markus Bünnemeyer comments: "The new single 'Asebeia' is the shortest song that we've ever written. It hits you with two minutes of full speed ahead – and makes no compromise, which is the quintessence of Temple of Dread! Lyrically, 'Asebeia' revolves around the pleading of a godless man. He bows to none of the ancient gods!"
Expanding from their brutal death metal base, TEMPLE OF DREAD have focussed on the cinematic aspects of their sound. On "Beyond Acheron”, the band has added more dark and heavy parts as well as a healthy dash of melancholic feeling – and even black metal inspired moments. Lyrically, "Beyond Acheron" operates both within and at the same time beyond the genre's traditional splatter-horizon. TEMPLE OF DREAD enjoy the continued support of their friend and word-smith, the psychologist Frank Albers, who has again delivered intelligent gory texts that revolve around antique myth and history featuring protagonists such as Icarus, Vulcan, Hades, Cleopatra, and Marcus Antonius aka Mark Anthony. Although "Beyond Acheron" is not a concept album, classical themes run like Ariadne's red thread through all its aspects.
With "Beyond Acheron", TEMPLE OF DREAD have set a new benchmark for intelligent death metal brutality!
The band's fourth full-length was produced by drummer Jörg Uken in his renowned Soundlodge Studio and features a cover artwork by Italian artist Paolo Girardi.
