Temple of Blood - Overlord (REMASTERED and greatly improved!) thrash/power/speed metal

But you could bro! I wish I had a thousand dollars to give you and dare you to cover Deliverances Solitude lol. You all would nail it!

I just mean in terms of being raw.  We're a lot more melodic than those bands.

Is Solitude on Weapons?  I'll check that one out.

As soon as your $1000 check clears, we'll get right on it. 

EDIT:  listening now.  I remember this one now, this is the one with the Woody Woodpecker intro. 

Dude, from now on, I will remember woody woodpecker everytime I listen to this song.

 Fortunately, I used to be a huge fan of this cartoon as a kid.

Definitely not expecting Sodom or Destruction vocals, just a more aggressive take on TOB’s brand of melodic speed/thrash metal (in the vocal department) would be cool.

I just got the remastered Overlord cd this week and man this thing is 

like listening to a brand new album! Great job on the remastering...this will be stuck in my car CD player for a very long time!

Thank you very much Ammocas!  I feel the same way.

The new remastering really boosts the vocals and evens everything out.  I changed the track listing to make it flow better too.

Thank you for your support!

No ... thank you for your support!

I have to say it is an excellent album.  
I liked the first one too but this one is on another level....

Constantine, I agree...I like ‘Prepare for the Judgement...’ very much and listen to it a lot, but ‘Overlord’ is on another level. Also, I like the new track listing on the remaster...it has a better flow to it.

Thanks a lot guys.  I really appreciate it.

Seems that people are appreciating this album more with the new remaster.

I changed the track listing because "Anthem to the Unseen" seemed to go over well live and having a slow doom song right in the middle of your album didn't go over well with thrash fans. 


Unfortunately we never had a chance to play the Overlord songs live until 2016!     It would've been better if we could've tested them on the live circuit before it was time to record.

"A Show of Force" is a big step up from Overlord I think.  I hope God will let it come out this year but it's His will that matters.

If you guys are enjoying this album, I would appreciate it greatly if you would take a few minutes to give it a positive review somewhere.

This year?! You’re committed now. lol You guys should post studio clips. Would be cool if bands did more of that.

I think there is an old clip on YouTube of Garth tracking bass to one song.  It's unlisted though.  I'll see if I can find it.

I may post some vocal clips too, when we get to that point.

My copy arrived today.

Thanks dude!

Awesome!

Any idea why bandcamp wont let you stream all songs anymore even though it says I owe it (which I do)?

same here...

except I own it  ; )

^^I do to and it used to work.

Sorry for the frustration guys.

I removed most of my songs from Bandcamp because I don't want to sell digital downloads there anymore.  They will still be sold through Amazon and iTunes.  I don't like Bandcamp's policies.

I'm leaving my Bandcamp page up to let people sample the music there and buy a CD through there.  If someone is dying to buy digital downloads from that page, they're $100 (though I would never pay that much, I'd go to Amazon!)

No worries brother, just as long as I can still download it incase I lose the files

Sorry to hear about the policies, I always thought they were more favorable to bands but I dont sell music..

Did I see that vocals are being recorded?

No, I'm sorry.  Not yet.  Still working on guitars.

Sorry to hear that Bandcamp is giving a hard time.  
I always had the impression that they were one of the better platforms for artists out there.
