Lords of Death

by Temple Of Void

supported by

Matthew Toye Temple Of Void is leading the charge out of Detroit's underground. The band's first album was dynamite, but 'Lords of Death' sees them taking a big stride forward. Can't wait to hear their next opus. Favorite track: Graven Desires.

Eazy-Ni - Niick Morris Prevot Impressive. Really impressive.
I think that the guys in TEMPLE OF VOID know precisely what you wanna hear from, what you remember of, and what you liked best in, the early work of master bands such as Evoken, Morgion, Paradise Lost, Mindrot, Amorphis, Daylight Dies.. Incantation maybe... things like that.. and they recreate it, exactly. Their own version works very very well.
You have it all written and recorded here: grandiloquent weight, putrid atmospheres, fat crawling growls, superior riffs, melancholic melodies.
Excellent formula of emotional doom-death.

ryanm5317 Heavy as shit but still manages to be atmospheric enough to conjure images into my head. Can't say enough about the vocals, they sound like an eater of worlds. Favorite track: Graven Desires.

The long-awaited second album. Crushing production. Pushes the needle towards death. Heads will bang. But don't take our word for it...

– Markus Makkonen (ex-Hooded Menace / Sadistik Forest)

Track Name: Wretched Banquet: The chant of the ghoul caller opens the crypts – Stone lids now shift and grind – Fetid air escapes – Fleshless fingers brace crumbling edges – To propel forth their bodies of rot – What purpose have they returned? – To what bidding do they serve? – Ravenous lust for flesh smothers the trace humanity that exists behind their blank, putrefying eyes – Plunder and devour the remnants of the dead – Murder and eat credulous living – Succumbed to the will of sorcery, – An unwavering mob of decay – Conscience holds no power to magic – Nothing can stop it – This wretched banquet – A morbid feast – Abhorrent undead forced to roam under the spell of necromancy
Track Name: A Watery Internment: You sink slowly – As murk dissolves the luminance – As pressure builds – As flails reduce to flutter – Lungs fill with fluid – As breath stifles – As panic nictates into stillness – With each weakening, dying heartbeat, you grow closer to death – What ideas enter a dying man’s consciousness in those last moments of actuality? – When survival is futile, do you think of regret? – Do you beg for forgiveness to a god above? – An uncaring deity who let you suffer this fate? – Deeper – You’ve lost sense of direction – Do you struggle to hang on to those last few moments of animation? Where minutes dissect into seconds – Then seconds fraction themselves away into closing flickers of existence – The hourglass reduces to the falling of each individual grain, and the world around you is slowly engulfed in darkness... while you expire at the speed of thought
Track Name: The Hidden Fiend: Beware the Aswang: – Shape-shifting demon of the Philippines – A nightly feeder on the unborn – Day-walking weaver of deceit – Amongst your peers is where the cleftless ghoul hides – Inverted reflection reveals a darkness that resides – Fallacious asura – Descendent of manananggal – Serpentine stealer of life, crawling from the bedside – Penetrating proboscis splitting vaginal wall – Slowly draining lifeforce – Siphoning the fetal skull – Puerile delicacy garnished in amniotic fluid – An unseen creature in hiding – Using the guise of fellow man – A friend, neighbor, or perhaps even relative – They socialize beside us – With an unspoken, malicious secret – Seek out the holy agimate – For the creature could be anyone – It could even be you
Track Name: The Gift: Upon your doorstep sat a mortifying piece – Tightly packaged parcel – Wrapped neatly with care – Initially innocuous, but upon a closer glance: Wear and much depreciation, and lacking a return address? – “Who could have sent this?” – As you bring the box inside and tear away the moldy tape and twine the gift reveals its grisly image: A grotesque visage made of bone – A human skull – No explanation – But with features that are oddly familiar – You feel an eerie sense of dread – As you run your fingers along its calcified structure – Pulling open the jaws only to find the teeth match your own – Denial sets in – This cannot be – You’re still alive, within your home – Was this sent from the future? – Or just some morbid trick? –
As you peer into the empty sockets you can only guess how long until it’s your turn to be the one on the inside looking out?
Track Name: Graven Desires: She lay silent – In her cold porcelain skin – Nothing could be done to save her – A love unrequited no longer – I felt her embrace – As her final exhale dissipated into the air when the blade dove in – I draw her lids closed with my fingertips – Her warm lips now frigid and lifeless – She shall sleep eternally as mine for eternity
Track Name: Deceiver in the Shadows: Timeless, ageless lurking monster – Insidious, evil legend – Myth that haunts in the countryside luring lost wanderers ... Now victims – Stained with the mark of his feast – Another pale, lifeless body found: New flesh for the beast – Contorted faces found frozen in terror – Hunter – Liar – Stealer of blood – Vampire or beast?... No one ever lives to tell – A foreboding castle bears his name – Shadow-stained kingdom of horror – Screams resonate through the mist – Cold and limp or forever lost – Holy men left drained and dead – Others met worse fates – Life in servitude: Signed in blood – Eternally bound as his slaves

My first death metal purchase on Bandcamp had to be this album. These guys are the most underrated band in metal, and this is my AOTY front runner. Elements of black, sludge, death, and progressive metal all show up in the service of unique songwriting. There’s no filler. Don’t pass them by just because of the slugs. Brian3737

The holy plethora of dissonant monolithic cosmic carnage. From the brain disintegrating guitar work to the ballistic drumming this album is packed with tasty riffage and will most definitely go down as a death metal classic. These guys are the future of death metal. deathcoresucks
