About the song: A merciless warlord leads a life of conquest, conducting brutal nighttime raids upon helpless villages, seeking plunder and captives as trophies. The harsh reality that he too is a slave is not lost on him, that his identity and freedom were lost long ago, indoctrinated to serve and even worship his own tyrannical lord. The lines between being either a slave or master in a relentless cycle blur, mixed with the bloodshed and domination that define his existence.
‘In The Temple Of The Tyrant’ features 8 tracks of monstrous proportions, a true love letter to epic Doom Metal set within the more shadowy and grim realms of classic Dungeons & Dragons.
Fusing elements of darker power and even traditional Metal, the album lures the listener in with colossal & imposing riffs, haunting, majestic melodies and powerful vocals that range from sinister to grandiose.
Boasting an outstanding world class mix and mastering by Ronnie Björnström of Björnström Ljud & Produktion in Sweden and absolutely stunning artwork from Zsofia Dankova (Powerwolf, Elvenking) that beautifully captures the essence of the music contained within, ‘In The Temple Of The Tyrant’ has been unleashed upon all who would seek dark tales of adventure filled with – Magic, Mayhem and Riffs Heavier Than A Storm Giant’s Ass!!! ™
