about

Temple Steps - Gates of Covid

What is a posthumous release if a band decides to reform? A false funeral? Lincoln’s Temple Steps have lumbered the public with their brand of sludge and doom since 2015 and refuse to die.

Originally ex-Flatlands vocalist Mike Shields (vocals/drums) and guitarist Mark McNulty (Currently of Slake), the band became a trio in 2018 with drummer Scott Nairn and then a 4-piece in 2019 with Joe Dickinson of Concrete Ships on bass.

During Covid the band resolved to write more, and laid down these tracks when lockdown was lifted. The result? The most harrowing efforts yet. More sludge-laden than ever and with a heft not heard before.

Try and enjoy it, Temple Steps are not dead.

Deathless

AOTY for me Paradoxically, this is such a soft and soothing album. The way the guitars and synth are EQed and mixed create a plush, warm blanket of emotion. When I listen to the melodies and chord progressions, I feel a sense of security and respite. This is solace reified in sonic form. This is an immersion in painfully hot yet relaxing water. This is safety found within the unknown. This is...heavenly form honestly. One man's hell is another man's heaven I guess. benmoshin

There's nothing quite like this. Veering from catastrophically heavy doom to terrifying experimental sci-fi black metal, this gets better with every listen. Absolutely on another planet. DoomBlogMan

J'adore ces albums bourrés de mélancolie, de douleurs, qui dérivent progressivement ou radicalement vers l'exutoire. Des émotions abyssales ! Ekot
