pinkytheent Hell yeah!!! What a rager! Heavy Temple has nailed a crunchy and rip-roaring balance of driving psychedelia that will have you mean mugging in a second flat. High-energy heavy music can sometimes feel like it’s going in circles or nowhere and psychedelia can feel like it will fall asleep or get lost in its own atmospherics, but the Temple know how to write a hard-charging stallion that still takes you through otherworldly dynamic ranges of forests and deserts. All killer no filler. Favorite track: Isabella (with Unrelenting Fangs).

Tad So, I saw these guys, and at the time, gal, live at a showcase for Smallstone Records years ago. Had no idea who they were, and they led off the night. I was gettin' a beer at the bar and they started their set. I damn near sprained all my shit trying to make my way to the front. You can't properly describe anything you saw live unless you were there and felt it. I felt it. Hard. Favorite track: The Wolf.

about

HEAVY TEMPLE crash forth like a roaring mastodon in a thunderstorm with their first official full-length, "Lupi Amoris," and it has all the markings of a landmark record. As progressive as BARONESS but unselfconscious, as heavy as FU MANCHU but more adventurous, this Philadelphia trio throw every lever in the riff-metal machine, yet also wield lyrical concepts that register on literary levels."Lupi Amoris" offers a one-way trip through wide-open spaces and deep forests. When HEAVY TEMPLE came into being on the 2012 winter solstice, the trio were after the pure fun and joy of playing heavy music, illustrated by each founding member's chosen nom de guerre: High Priestess Nighthawk, Rattlesnake, and Bearadactyl. At first playing shows locally in Philly, the band quickly gained an excellent live reputation, leading to tours alongside RUBY THE HATCHET, MOTHERSHIP, ROYAL THUNDER and CORROSION OF CONFORMITY. Invitations to notable festivals included The Maryland Doom Fest, Psycho Las Vegas, and Decibel Metal & Beer, among many others. It speaks volumes about HEAVY TEMPLE's talent and face-melting live impact that the invitations to attractive tours and prestigious festivals continued to roll in even without the release of an album. Although HEAVY TEMPLE leverage all the trappings of traditionally male-oriented metal (to the point that their sound could proudly sport a full beard), the powerful presence of frontwoman and sole remaining founding member High Priestess Nighthawk merges their glorious heaviness with a strong thematic line of feminine strength. "Lupi Amoris" is Latin for "Wolves of Love," and finds the Philly outfit aligning with a Red Riding Hood who is freed from the traditional bonds of what's expected. Proving that it's quite possible to hammer out gargantuan stoner doom and still say something about life's realities, HEAVY TEMPLE make a fierce and much-needed statement with "Lupi Amoris", and at these volumes, the world is guaranteed to hear it.
