Detroit, Michigan death metallers Temple Of Void have a new album by the name of “The Crawl” on course for a March 06th release date through Relapse. A video for the title track was shot with The C.O.I.N. (Incantation, Gruesome) and is streaming below. As for the creative connective tissue of the album, vocalist/guitarist Mike Erdody described it as an, “allegory about life, choices, and consequences.”
The record was tracked at GodCity Studio in Salem, MA with Converge‘s Kurt Ballou overseeing the production, while engineer Zach Weeks (Deafheaven, Fuming Mouth) also involved. Guitarist Alex Awn said of 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.”
