Temple Of Void Premiere New Single & Music Video "The Crawl" From Upcoming New Album

Detroit, Michigan-based death metal outfit Temple Of Void have announced a new album titled The Crawl, set for release on March 6 via Relapse. A music video for the album’s title track, created with The C.O.I.N. (Incantation, Gruesome), is now streaming below. Describing the album’s thematic core, vocalist/guitarist Mike Erdody referred to it as an “allegory about life, choices, and consequences.”

The record was tracked at GodCity Studio in Salem, MA, with Converge’s Kurt Ballou handling production duties and engineer Zach Weeks (Deafheaven, Fuming Mouth) also involved.

Guitarist Alex Awn shared the following thoughts on the album:

“The biggest shift for me on this record was not feeling like we had to fly the ‘death-doom banner’ as part of our identity. Death-doom, as a genre, gave us something to anchor our sound around when we started. It was always a reference and touchstone. At the same time, we always wanted to make sure we had our own spin on it. We’ve always been adding to the conversation, adding to the genre, giving our point of view. A huge part of what makes a Temple of Void record is the non-death-doom influences that make up our DNA. And on album five we never once asked ourselves, ‘Do we have enough death metal? Do we have enough doom metal?’ We simply wrote a heavy-ass record—let the chips fall where they may.”
