Australia's Temple Nightside have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a ritualistic and occult mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Cenotaph Severance" which will be released on October 30th by Iron Bonehead Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death meal growls along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them and a couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats can be heard which also gives the album more of a raw feeling. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, clean playing can also be heard at times and the solos and leads add in more of a classic death metal style as well as some tracks also adding in a small amount of whispered vocals.
On this recording Temple Nightshade brings out a very ritualistic and aggressive style of black/death metal which captures the darkness of the old school era with a more modern approach to the genre. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Necromancy, Occultism and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Temple Nightshade and if you are a fan of ritualistic black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Seething Dissolve" "Soul Defilement" and "Exhumed Death". 8 out of 10.
