Michael Hojjatie Bewitching and bewildering. There are more bands performing in this style now than Civilzation will ever need and TMPL are leaders instead of wooly-backed followers! Favorite track: Witch Moon.

Fuzzy Cracklins (The Swamp Records) Heavy rock riffs from the 70s, doom from today, and vocals from heaven. This is great! Thanks to Doom Tomb Podcast for turning me onto TMPL. Fuzzy's review is at www.fuzzycracklins.com/2020/08/tmpl.html Favorite track: Witch Moon.

Justin@BlindMouse The high register of these vocals come in a multitude of layers. Spellbinding lyrics float with purpose above high end 70’s occult rock riffs and rhythms. Shunning the low end end and fuzz brings forth a refreshing and sailing sound that spells darkness in a different way!!

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Three tracks of ethereal doom/occult rock coated in sublime folk(ish) vocal tones.

How I've waited Ages endless Aeons of time beyond How you've suffered Weathered by the jagged edge of life Whispers of the past have led you here Thou shall not pass if you choose to stay You'll learn the Secrets of the Shadows 'Receive a thousand lovers; thou shalt bear but One child. This child shall be the heir of Fate the Father.' -BREAKS ch. 4 'O thou that settest out upon The Path, false is the Phantom that thou seekest. When thou hast it thou shalt know all bitterness, thy teeth fixed in the Sodom-Apple. Thus hast thou been lured along That Path, whose terror else had driven thee far away.' -BREAKS ch.13

Horns of black reflect fires of gold Bringer of Death and secrets untold He who bears the light so cold Who wails thy scythe at the gods of old Free me from these chains of flesh Scorch me in the light of Resh Speak to me with your serpentine tongue Father, Master, Aeon-less one Whom I exalt in glorious splendor Whom I adore forever and ever At the river I wait and stand Guide me with your skeletal hand Whose bones have moved the sands of time Whose fury committed the original crime. Within thy presence, thy sign I give Suffer thee adept to live Mighty Lord of shadow-less light Open the gates to the endless night

Witch Moon 08:23
Witch Moon that turnest all streams to blood Bathe me in your water red as I swear an oath Witch Moon I surrender to the crown of Night With your horns impale the heavens and extinguish all it's light Amen Witch Moon retrograde to Black Hear the choir of wolves chant your hymns The Devil's faithful beckoning back I have seen the waters trembling I have seen the fires rage I have gazed into your watchful eye With might no god can cage Bathe in the Blood Pull me under Take me deeper Bathe in the Blood Bathe in Madness So that I may see All that is Above is mirrored by Below and in between is Me Amen Hear than the oath Witch Moon of Blood I surrender to the crown of Night Strike down the chains I speak your name Guide my step, so I may see Beneath her wrathful canopy Let your Bloody rays embrace me
