Tempelheks is a psychedelic doom rock
experience. Based on the heavy riff of the 70's, Tempelheks
experiment with folky and traditional melodies coupled with eerie and mystical
vocals. A groovy but hard beat drives the desert caravan onward. With the 2014 debut
LP, they built the foundation of the serpent-worshipping cult's temple.
Originally
conceived as a solo project in 2013 Tempelheks released their debut EP "Red Forest
" which got picked up by a doom/stoner channel on YouTube. The
unexpected attention motivated Tempelheks to write their self-titled debut album in 2014.
Since then, founding member HS has been accompanied by Andreas Prestby (drums,
percussion), Espen Sande Larsen (bass, backing vocals) and Sindre Øhman
(guitar).
Among
the band's inspirations you'll find Uncle Acid, Jex Thoth and Egypt as well as Thin Lizzy, Pentagram and King Crimson. Hailing from the doom streets
of Oslo , Norway where they rule together
with bands such as Tusmørke,
Hymn and Purple Hill Witch. The
band is now ready with their second full length which is out now on Heksekunst Productions
.
Drawing
lyrical themes that are heavily inspired by characters and events from Robert
E. Howard's fantasy universe "Hyboria", today at The Sludgelord, it
gives us great pleasure to present their new video for the track “Cobra.
