Olde
Temple
Toronto's OLDE release their critically acclaimed sophomore doom masterpiece "Temple" on CD Digipak. The band has a strong buzz behind them and feature members of Sons of Otis. Vinyl version of this album will be available on STB Records, and Cassette on Medusa Crush Recordings. Olde can be best dened as "Efficient Doom Metal"; creating atmospheric and riff-centric music without wasting time. Olde's "Temple" showcases their most refined music to date; there is not another doom band that understands how to write great riffs, without them overstaying their welcome. Olde runs the gamut of everything the genre offers; from Kyuss-y blues, to darker and more punishing bands like Yob. Olde's "Temple" is doom metal done the way it should be. It is well-crafted, forward-thinking, and a contender for one of the best records of the year.
