Tuesday, 09 September 2008
The first Kung-Fu Metal band in the universe, Black Temple, is more like a solo project than a band, formed by Finnish / Thai composer, lyricist, singer and guitarist Tang. The band started in the year 2005 with many line-up changes. In the lucky year 2008 they found Joel Attila as a producer introduced by the legendary German promoter Silke "Mutti" Yli-Sirnio (HIM, Nightwish, Lordi, Children Of Bodom, etc.) and recorded their first single "Party Material" at Helsinki Underground Studios, mixed by Mikko Karmila (COB, Nightwish, Lordi, etc.) and mastering by Mika Jussila, Finnvox studio, Helsinki.

The line-up for this single is:

Tang: Vocals & Guitars
Vesa Mattila: Bass
Leonard: Drums
Alexi Parviainen: Backing Vocals

In the middle of August this year when the full-length recording for the album begins, the new line up will be:

Tang: Vocal & Lead Guitar
Vesa Wahlroos (Ajattara): Rhythm Guitar
Janne Parviainen (Ensiferum, Waltari, Sinergy): Drums
Joel Attila (Valvet, Lowe Motor Corporation): Bass
Alexi Parviainen (Northern Kings, Ensiferum): Backing Vocals

Sounds like: 80's disco, Rammstein, Rob Zombie and Cradle Of Filth. Lyrics are about realities in life, facts of making mistakes and wanting to make it up, addiction in something and being in icy painful situations ... poems full of sarcasm, with definitely more than one meaning.
