I thought DMD folded after the guy got exposed?

What's the story with the DMD guy?  What happened?

i believe he was taking orders and never filling them.

Did he get sued?

Overlord was much better than the first album. I was looking forward to his new album, guess that's been put on hold?
TOB never annoyed me. There are a couple of way more annoying people that were on here at one time.

I would like to get the Overlord album. Musically, I think it is really good! Although the vocals are not really the style I like.

Divine Metal Distro folded some years ago. I'm thinking he meant Christian Metal Distro.

Probably, part of Roxx, yes?

Glad you guys liked "Overlord"!

I know everyone says it, but our new songs are SO MUCH better. And yes the production will be better and yes the vocals will be more aggressive.

The hold up is getting all the guitars recorded. Since Overlord I've gotten married and had 3 kids so it's really hard to find time to record but rest assured I intend to complete it ASAP.

We have a new drummer now and are playing shows again so that also takes some time.

Glad to see there is still some interest in what we do!

BTW, I've written a bunch of mini-reviews for technical thrash releases if you guys are looking for some recommendations of album reviews: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/GeneralZod/technical-thrash-metal-is-the-greatest-form-of-art/

What happened to the other drummer?

Lance had already recorded his parts for "A Show of Force" years ago but is a family man too and doesn't have time to play drums for us live any more in addition to his paid work as a studio engineer.

Best of luck to him. At least he's on the next album.

Yeah. Our new drummer David is great too. Lance is actually a very talented rhythm guitarist too and my dream is one day to convince him to play rhythm guitars for us. We're all still friends.

I like the first one. Have not heard the second. Sorry, ToB. Have not been supporting anyone the last few years. Post a sample!

got any cds left of overlord?

Yeah. Here ya go: http://www.templeofblood.net/merch.htm

Is he the same caliber of guitar playing as on the Overlord album? If so, it's a shame if he doesn't do something and continue to make music.

I'm long overdue to get the Overlord album... and I'm looking forward to hear the new one "A Show of Force".

Yeah, Lance could play the rhythms on there if he wanted to. As a matter of fact, when I first started playing music with him he was on guitars with me and we had a different drummer. When that drummer didn't work out the band fizzled out for a while until he bought a drumkit and started putting a lot of time into practicing. I couldn't believe how good he got in a relatively short amount of time. Then we started playing together again and recruited Garth Lovvorn on bass who was from a local technical death metal band called Fleshtized. Lance was actually going to play rhythm guitars on "A Show of Force" but didn't have the time.

Pick it up! It'll tide you over until the new one comes out.

Just ordered it a couple days ago.

We've recently had our second album remastered by Jamie King (Watchtower, Chastain, Canvas Solaris, Ayreon, etc. etc.)

I can't believe the difference this mastering has made!

The songs "pop" much more. I am far from an expert on this stuff but to my ears it sounds like the mid-range has been restored and the vocals are clearer.

I'm trying to figure out how these new tracks will be released and when, but I am very excited about this improvement!

Jamie King does great work!! I'll pick up a copy when you get everything sorted out.
