Club, who proclaimed, ôTempel takes things to uncharted-and astounding-territoryà this is not your typical ethereal, chin-stroking post-metal.ö Featuring 53 minutes of towering riffs, crushing drums and hauntingly powerful compositions, ôOn The Steps Of The Templeö consists of ôa perfect balance of dedication and originalityö (Sludgelord). The albumÆs cover art, pictured below, features a painting by the iconic ancient Chinese landscape artist Li Cheng.
