Temple of Blood - Christian Thrash/Speed/Power update

Just wanted to post an update regarding what is going on in the ToB camp.

First of all, I want to thank everyone for being so patient and supportive of us over the years.

I am singing three songs with my good friends in the power metal band Cauldron Born for their upcoming album. I have already recorded one song for them and will be tracking the next one soon.

Once I am done recording all my vocals for Cauldron Born, I will resume recording rhythm guitars for ToB. Drums are all done and one song has its rhythms all done, but there are still 8 more to go. Then we'll start laying down vocals and getting all the contributions from the other guys (Kelly Conlon - bass (ex-Death, ex-Monstrosity), Andre' Corbin (ex-Helstar), and another incredible lead guitarist who I am not ready to announce yet.

Just to give you guys some kind of preview of the album, I am posting the lyrics to the song that will be the first track. There will be an instrumental intro called "Onset of Conflict", which will lead into this song:

"Trilemma"

Was He – really - insane – Had He lost His mind?
Wouldn’t – we see – some proof – that demonstrates these signs
There should – be some– display – in the things He did
And yet – we find - someone – who’s cogent and lucid

Pre-Chorus:
Must face the three, Just one can be, The way you see, Reality
Are you willing, to face the thing, that questioning and truth might bring

Was He - simply - a fraud – Did he just deceive
Perhaps – He knew – His lie – and He didn’t believe
What would – He have – to gain – for him to pretend
Needy - Tortured – Despised – Meeting a gory end

Chorus:
Madman – Liar - or Supreme - Messiah
Caught in a – Trilemma
Must appraise - each case
Psycho - Con man - or Cosmic Sovereign
Trapped in a – Trilemma
The choice you - must face

Was He – indeed – a god – all that He had claimed
Willing - to die – for man – and endure the world’s shame
Were His - teachings - arcane – wisdom in disguise
Given - every - escape – But chose death over lies

Repeat Pre-Chorus:

Can’t be –taken – in part – can’t equivocate
There’s no – room in – His words – for an in-between state
Records – recall – His words - Witnesses attest
When all – options – are judged – this case is put to rest

His claims have obvious implications
That critics try to avoid
Doubt each text and doubt history itself
Trilemma can’t be destroyed

Can't wait to hear the new stuff!

Thanks! Really hope you enjoy it.

I am looking forward to listening to new stuff.

Excellent! Looking forward to it! Love both PFTJOM and overlord!

 

Looking forward to hearing what you come up with this time around.

I am eagerly awaiting the new stuff too! Get a move on it! Lol

Thanks a lot!

Really looking forward to it.

Any chance you will ever remix or remaster your last album?

you know - i cannot seem to find my copies of the first and second Tob albums.

I would love a remaster. "Conviction" remains by favorite ToB song.

Hopefully the new blast beats we added will be more up your alley.

Man, we have had so many big set backs. I don't want to say too much about it, but some of it is really frustrating. I'm starting to be able to see the end of the tunnel though. I've learned a lot through this ordeal and I think the band will be better for it in the long run.

I've bounced around the idea of re-recording some songs from our first two albums because our singing/playing is so much better now as well as our production. It's not that far-fetched of an idea.

Well if you can't find them you can still buy the second album from our website. The first album pops up on eBay every once in a blue moon or you can buy the mp3s for it on Amazon for only 6 bucks.

Thanks! I wrote that one.

I wasn't thrilled when several years later DEICIDE used that for one of their song titles. Obviously they are big fans of ours and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I figured you guys were glen benton's main inspiration.

Thanks a lot man. You know how tough it is to keep a band going and what I'm talking about.

I really support you guys too.

I don't like to brag, but yes that is undoubtedly true.

I'd love some of the old stuff redone and anticipate the new one.

Thanks. I was actually contemplating redoing one song per album, kind of like how SUFFOCATION did it from "Breeding the Spawn". They eventually re-recorded and re-released every song on that album.
