VI, TEMPLE OF BAAL and THE ORDER OF APOLLYON team up for a split

French black/death metal band’s VI, TEMPLE OF BAAL and THE ORDER OF APOLLYON are currently at BST Studio recording material for their future split, which will be released on Agonia Records in late 2016.

BST (Aosoth, ex-Aborted, The Order Of Apollyon and VI) can be thought as a link between all three band’s. Apart from being an active musician, he serves as the producer of the upcoming split, which is being recorded, mixed and mastered at his own BST Studio (except for drums which have already been recorded at Hybreed Studios). The split will see all of the the involved acts explore their creative potential as each of them will be contributing with a brand new track. That being said, here’s a forerunner of what to expect.

VI commented: “Being a part of this split along with Temple of Baal and The Order Of Apollyon was an opportunity for us to release a new single track. We thought we were done for a while with creating new music since the release of De Praestigiis Angelorum, but it appeared that we still had more to do. Expect something slightly different from what we’re known for. Expect something unique”.

TEMPLE OF BAAL commented: “Split releases have paved Temple Of Baal’s history through the years as special items in the band’s discography, done with special bands strictly chosen for their common views on Black and Death Metal as sacred works of Left Hand Path dedication. Once more, Temple Of Baal teams up with bearers of the Black Flame to bring a three-fold testimony of Faith”.

THE ORDER OF APOLLYON commeted: “Joining forces with Agonia for a fresh new start for The Order, we deemed appropriate to release something special. We chose to share this one with artists that we respect not only as musicians, but also as genuinely devoted human beings. The song we wrote for this EP is also meant to give you a taste of what’s to come on our side in the near future”.

While VI is a newcommer band with a well received debut album from last year (“De Praestgiis Angelorum”), its ranks include experinced black/death metal musicians ofAntaeus, Aosoth and Aborted fame, who have swapped their instruments on this new project with an exceedingly good resoult.

THE ORDER OF APOLLYON (also TOOA) was formed in 2008 by BST and then-drummer Daniel Wilding (Carcass). The band is an artistic and spiritual conecpt, who developed its personal sound through two full-legth albums: “The Flesh” (2010) and“The Sword And The Dagger” (2015). Its line-up further consists of members of Hell Militia, Aosoth and Temple Of Baal.

In their over 15 years-long career, TEMPLE OF BAAL evolved from a primitive black/thrash outfit into a black/death metal entity of epic dimentions. “Mysterium”, the band’s fifth album from 2015, dwells on the topics of spirituality and religiosity, and reflects them in the music, allowing the atmospheres to develop in a unique and mature way. The group’s black metal roots are back in full force, covering at the same time a wide musical spectrum.

TEMPLE OF BAAL stream full new album, „Mysterium“, exclusively via Ultimate-Guitar.com

Temple of Baal - Mysterium

French black/death metallers, TEMPLE OF BAAL, have released an advance stream of their new album,“Mysterium”, exclusively on Ultimate-Guitar.com! Set to be oficially released on October 2nd via Agonia Records“Mysterium” is available for streaming right now at this link:

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/…

In their over 15 years-long career, marked by four full-lengths and numerous split releases, the highly respected French coven TEMPLE OF BAAL have evolved from a primitive Black/Thrash outfit into a monstrous Black/Death Metal entity of epic dimensions. “Verses Of Fire”, the last album (2013), was acclaimed worldwide as a milestone in the band’s career, allowing TEMPLE OF BAAL to perform at notable festivals such as Hellfest, Motocultor, Summer Breeze, Kings Of Black Metal and Speyer Grey Mass. The formation also played selected shows in France, Finland, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, sharing the stage with the likes of Watain, Antaeus etc.

As the album’s title suggests, “Mysterium” dwells on the topics of spirituality and religiosity. “From the opener, Lord Of Knowledge And Death, to the closing number, All In Your Name, every inch of this record drips with it” – comments the band. “Mysterium can be seen a collection of meditations and prayers over the mysteries of Faith, directed towards the gods of the left hand path”.

Musically, TEMPLE OF BAAL‘s Black Metal roots are back in full force, allowing the atmospheres to develop through songs of epic proportions, mostly clocking around 8 or 9 minutes each. “Mysterium”covers a wide musical specter, from slower ritualistic parts, to furious blasts and thrashy riffs or the surprisingly melodic choirs of “Magna Gloria Tua” and “Hosanna”, each song taking the listener into a spiritual journey, evolving through various climates, keeping the listener’s mind awake. “I never got that much into monotonous, uniform albums” – says band’s leader Amduscias. “I like music to take my mind from one point to another. Even if I have a strict view of what TEMPLE OF BAAL should be, stagnation is not something I’m very fond of.”

The recording of “Mysterium” took place in Hybreed Studios with long-time sound engineer, Andrew Guillotin (Glorior Belli, Mourning Dawn), who managed to capture the band’s trademark massive sounding, magnifying it through a warm and organic production. Cover artwork and layout have been prepared by David Fitt (Aosoth, Secrets of the Moon, Svart Crown) and Maria Yakhnenko.

Paying tribute to their old school roots, TEMPLE OF BAAL covers Bathory for the second time, with the song “The Golden Walls Of Heaven” closing the vinyl edition as a bonus track.

“Mysterium” will be available in:
– 6 panel digipack CD witt 16 pages booklet
– regular gatefold double black vinyl
– limited to 150 hand-numbered copies double gatefold vinyl (including one picture disc and one black vinyl)
