Gordon Comstock Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Lo and truly behold! A hellish new band has emerged from the quagmire that is the extreme music scene.Imagine a cauldron bubbling over with the unsavory flavors of TOOL and CELTIC FROST, and seasoned with the likes of IMMORTAL and AT THE GATES, and you'd be about halfway to describing the uncouth racket these guys have spat upon an unsuspecting planet.Calling themselves the TEMPLE OF THE BLACK MOON, the group (who describe their output as "music for an evil film noir') are an eclectic stew of musicians/hell-raisers/miscreants in the ungainly form of Dani Filth (CRADLE OF FILTH), Rob Caggiano (ANTHRAX, THE DAMNED THINGS), King (formerly of GORGOROTH and OV HELL) and John Tempesta (formerly of WHITE ZOMBIE and now drumming with THE CULT). Explaining the origins of the name, vo-killist Dani Filth had this to mutter on the subject: "We had an innumerable amount of names that never seemed likely to stick, that was until we put our proverbial heads together and narrowed it down to just three or four, and then tossed for it (proverbially of course) using a silver Norwegian crown (we couldn't find any proper money). The name TEMPLE OF THE BLACK MOON represents the rigorous worship of desire, (the black moon astrologically has always held association with the dark Goddess Lilith) and of course the ramifications of the lunar eclipse, always a herald for death and ill-omen."So far almost an album's worth of material has been demoed, with TEMPLE OF THE BLACK MOON hooking up in the darkest depths of Bergen, Norway to collectively thrash it out. Songtitles thus far include "Infernal Desire Machine", "Don't Call Up What You Can't Put Down", "Dark Eyes For Trouble", "Beautifully Perverse" and "C.N.T (All That's Missing Is You)".An album release and subsequent live dates are expected to happen around mid-2012.Blabbermouth ArticleI can't wait to hear this!!

Powerage5 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Cool, I'll definitely check it out. Though I can't say I understand the logic in announcing the formation of a supergroup and even song titles, while also saying no material/shows will follow for a year or so...

John Doe Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Lillith's a bitch.. ! A cold manipulating deceiving bitch !!Not gonna listen I think.. To dark and heavy for me... ! I like reading of that sort of stuff.. But I like my Rock to be more "in the now", if that makes any sense..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt88 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Woah that sounds intense. Robb from Anthrax is going from a pop metal record to this? Keep it diverse I guesswhat do you think Filth's vocals are gonna be like? Is it gonna be the shrieking thing like COF albums or will he shake it up a bit?

Talvisota Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 The bandname sounds epic, not sure if the music will, but I'll check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrandyk Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I very much dislike Caggiano, I dont think he belongs anywhere near Anthrax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I very much dislike Caggiano, I dont think he belongs anywhere near Anthrax.I don't understand all the hate for him. I get that people are so quick to dismiss him because he doesn't play Spitz's solos verbatim, but I think it's really unfair the way people attack him based solely on that fact. I think his playing was one of the best things about WCFYA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
