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 will be released on Heksekunst Productions on Friday 19th of August.
