Die Death-Metaller TEMPLE OF DREAD haben mit „God Of The Godless“ ein neues Album in der Pipeline, von dem sie nun mit 'Carnage Ritual' eine erste Kostprobe reichen. Das fünfte Bandalbum erscheint am 4. Oktober bei Testimony Records.

"Our first single 'Carnage Ritual' harks back musically to the beginnings of this band and comes with no compromises and no experiments – but just delivers four minutes of full steam ahead!", kommentiert Gitarrist Markus Bünnemeyer. "The lyrics are just as much to the point: Greek myth tells of how the people of Athens were compelled by King Minos of Krete to choose seven young men and seven young women to be offered to the monster Minotaur – half man, half bull. These sacrificial victims were to be killed in retribution for the death of Minos' son. The visualisation for this track was again provided by Ecuadorian director Christian Kdrumworm with diligent attention to the details of the stunning artwork by Paolo Girardi!"
