Tempel Wrapping Up Work On New Album

Following the Prosthetic release of mammoth 2014 debut "On the Steps of the Temple," the Arizona instrumental metal duo Tempel is currently putting the final touches on a new album.

The group, consisting of Ryan Wenzel (guitars/keys) and Rich Corle (drums), will soon finish tracking the new material at Wenzel’s Phoenix-area home studio, Arrowhead. An upcoming Summer release is expected.

“For us, this new album represents a big evolution in all aspects of our work,” commented Wenzel. “This is a heavier, yet more melodic album than our debut. It’s a clear representation of where we are musically. We poured ourselves into this album for nearly two years, and we have never been more proud of our music.“

Added Corle, “The goal was to make sure everything was constantly moving in these songs. We didn’t want anything to interrupt the forward momentum. At the same time, we wanted to work in all the different types of metal we love that we didn’t feel were represented on the debut.”
