Big TEMPLE OF BLOOD announcement (power/thrash/speed metal)

I am proud to announce the finalized lineup for our 3rd album, to be titled "A Show of Force":

Jim Mullis - lead vocals
Matt Barnes - rhythm/lead guitar
Lance Wright - drums

and our newest members:
Kelly Conlon - bass (ex-DEATH, ex-MONSTROSITY, FIRES OF BABYLON, etc.)
Andre Corbin - lead guitar (ex-HELSTAR)

I am VERY excited about having the opportunity to play with such incredible musicians. I am a huge fan of their previous bands and this is really an honor for me personally. I really think the combination of strong songs, our best lineup yet, better mix/production (yes, I heard all your criticisms before ) will yield our finest effort to date. This is our heaviest and most technical material we have recorded and I think it is also our best. I spent two years singing in a local cover band and I can't wait to get in the studio and sing over these new songs! We are incorporating blast beats at times where it makes sense and we really want to distinguish ourselves from the retro-thrash pack by playing in a unique style.

some tentative song titles:
"Greater than Death"
"Trilemma"
"A Show of Force"
"The Advocate and the Accuser"
"Exalted"
"Curse of Black Hearts"

We are also planning on recording a cover version of the SANCTUARY classic "Battle Angels".

Due to band members prior recording commitments with other bands, we are planning for an early 2012 release.

We wish to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has supported us in the past and we hope to win over some new fans with our latest offering.

blast beats huh? cool, i love that sh*t. looking forward to hearing what you come up with.

Looking forward to it!!

wow...I remember when I first stumbled across temple of blood a few years ago,always though they were one of those smalltime thrash bands. That was right after the release of "Prepare for the Judgement of Mankind", I never thought in a million years I would see members from big name acts like death or helstar with them!

Best of luck with the new release, first day buy for me.

Based on what you announced... it sounds promising.

Mostly i really hope the vocals are more aggressive.

Kelly Conlon - bass (ex-DEATH, ex-MONSTROSITY, FIRES OF BABYLON, etc.)

He's a good player. He played on one of my favorite Death albums.

Sounds like it's gonna kill!

Hope the best for you and your band....laterz

Thanks everyone!

TZ, I think you'll definitely hear more aggressive vox than before. The music is more aggressive, so that is what it calls for.

Sounds good,cant wait to see what you guys come up with.

I'll be checking this out! This is some big news. I hope it sounds as good as you pitched it!

That's awesome news, ToB!!!

Thanks guys!

Hope you all won't be disappointed. We're putting our best foot forward with this one.

Good job on getting Kelly Conlon and Andre Corbin. Looking fwd to hearing what comes of this.

Good luck Jim. I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Awesome stuff - looking forward to the new album
