What do you think about this new ToB logo?

I didn't want to add more blood because it starts to look gory and some of the folks in this band are sensitive to that sort of thing because they have kids and stuff.

With a band called "Temple of Blood", I think the blood should be emphasized.

It looks cool to metal fans while having a Holy biblical meaning at the same time.

But if it was covered in blood people might get the impression that we were a death metal band or something.

You could put a sticker on the front that indicates the style. Lots of Christian record labels used to do it.

Not sure the pressing company I usually use does stickers or how much extra they cost. My gut feeling is that if you need a sticker to explain what you're doing then you need to rethink your strategy.

That's fine. It was just my opinion... The music is what really matters to me.

i would imagine that a guy being nailed to pieces of wood & left to hang til death would be pretty gory. why sugar coat it? according to your faith, he suffered.

nevertheless, the final logo still looks pretty good. i look forward to seeing the cover art, & hearing the music. as you've described a faster more extreme sound, which as most here know, is my kinda thing.

Actually, I will be doing a bit of growling on this album. But it won't take the place of old fashioned vocal melodies, it'll just be for texture and for some fill-in parts here and there.

Doing a monster voice is fun.

Not trying to sugar coat it at all. That's one aspect of the Bible, and there are many others. Some Christian bands dwell on that all the time and that's fine but that's not the topic of every song we do so I don't think a really gory logo fits our style.

Thanks. Yeah, I think it is more extreme. And the one after this will be more so, already been thinking about that.

This is the guy working on the art for us:

I'm glad the vocals will be a little meaner on the new one.
