Temple Of Dagon Announces "Revelations Of The Spirit" EP
West Coast crust collective Temple Of Dagon will unleash the "Revelations Of The Spirit" EP this June via Black Voodoo Records.
Tracked and mixed by Alex Estrada (Xibalba, Touche Amore, Silver Snakes et al) at Earth Capital Studios in Los Angeles, California and mastered by Dan Randall (Cannabis Corpse, Iron Reagan, Fucked Up et al) at Mammoth Sound, "Revelations Of The Spirit" is a four track manifestation of audio punishment based on the life and times of central character, the Horrid King.
It's the sound of self-loathing, self-reflection, self-acceptance and self-love. "Sometimes we lose ourselves in the eyes of other people and forget our own perspective," espouses the band. "Eventually we learn that we need to get back to the being we're meant to be and not let outside influences affect our purpose. The 'revelation of the spirit' is the moment when you realize you have lost your path and the time to return to your true self is upon you."
1. The Evocation
2. The Horrid King
3. The Wandering Spirit
4. Nexus Of Reality
Influenced by '90s-era crust, stenchcore, death metal, thrash, and Lovecraftian lore, Temple Of Dagon was forged in 2009 and quickly reaped an underground following with the release of the clobbering "Book Of Azathoth" EP. Following a glut of shows and various personnel changes, the band went on to record and self-release the 2010 debut, "Rituals Of The Deep."
"Revelations Of The Spirit" will be unleashed on June 9th, 2015 digitally and on 10" vinyl via Black Voodoo Records with preorders to be announced in the coming weeks. See the band live on these dates:
