Temple Of Lies release their huge third album

Temple Of Lies release their third, and strongest to date, new album 'The Serial Killer Suite' on 1st July via Attic Records.

mixing up Monster Magnet with elements of long-lost grunge band Tad, Metallica and Mastodon, Temple Of Lies provide a neat object lesson in what can be done even without the support of a label

.what you do need are talent and determination, both of which ToL have in spades Sonic Abuse.

'The Serial Killer Suite' is an album that will make quite an impact for Temple Of Lies, their third full length release and their finest to date, it melds together huge riffs, pounding beats and some seriously great tunes it sees the band taking another step up.

Their second single from this album 'SKIN' is a monster of a track, dark and delicious with chunky, mauling riffs hammering down over a seriously heavy groove and Si Shaw's gravel laden vox. The video gives the track a serious twist as alongside the lyrical darkness, it adds a certain amount of sauciness & bare assed cheek. Literally.

Quote from the band on the new album: "While waiting for the production to be returned from our previous recording, FROM SAND, we ended up writing a new 12 track concept album and doing all the preproduction in our studio. It started out as an EP called 'Empty House' and after churning out around 25 complete songs we whittled it down to twelve, some of those materialising from earlier ideas. The song Empty House didn't make the final recording this time but there may be another EP on the way in the not too distant future.

The lyrics for the new album THE SERIAL KILLER SUITE came gradually and relate to our own life experiences over the last 18 months or so and the title was chosen about half way through that stage. We wanted to deliver a heavier, darker album this time, while still keeping the TOL groove and bounce, mixing metal with stoner rock themes. The metaphorical lyrics are designed to work on different levels and are deliberately left open to interpretation by the listener. This TOL album is riff heavy and full of hooks, every song stands up on it's own and together the listener is taken on a sonic journey. The album cover artwork again by Alan O'Neill is titled 'Layers of the Soul' and is designed to reflect the lyrical themes.

We will be playing the new album in it's entirety at the launch party at Firebug, Leicester, on July 1st 2017 and look forward to taking it out on the road this summer. We are excited to announce the newest arrival to the band, Jags, on bass who will add a new dimension to the bottom end making the live performance heavier and tighter than ever."
