On August 30, 2019 Testimony Records will release "Blood Craving Mantras", the debut album of German old school Death Metallers TEMPLE OF DREAD. The project was founded in late 2017 by Markus Bünnemeyer (music) und Frank Albers (lyrics) to honor their ancient heroes DEATH, BENEDICTION, PESTILENCE, OBITUARY and MORGOTH. After Jens Finger (SLAUGHTERDAY) and Jörg Uken (Soundlodge Studio, SLAUGHTERDAY) joined on vocals and drums, TEMPLE OF DREAD transformed into a real band shortly after. The album, that was recorded at Uken’s Soundlodge Studio, will be available on limited transparent violet vinyl (100 copies) and black vinyl as well as limited hand-numbered digipak CD (300 copies). A first track entitled ‘Gone But Still Here’ is already available for streaming here. The complete tracklist reads like this: ‘8.16 AM’, ‘Suffocate The Fire’, ‘Sentenced To Life’, ‘Question Of Honour’, ‘Now You Will Die’, ‘Straying The Battlefields’, ‘Gone But Still Here’ and ‘Cottage In The Backyard’.
