"In real Gino Valente style, large meat-filled pieces of metal, both traditional, thrash and black, are cooked together with scratch-proof hardcore, ROCK and melodic flair.

​

While Inge stands front & center, playing mean bass and roaring wonderfully, it's on the flanks that you can find the real candy. Here you have Espen Gjermundrød and Andreas Espolin Johnson, both probably with Joey Tempest as a style icon (this is meant as a compliment). Sexy blonde lures flutter in wind turbine, feet are planted on monitors, guitars stretch north and shredded and scattered all the way to Dakar. Behind the drum set, Jonas Usterud Rønningen has taken the place of a Kvelertak-busy Kjetil, without pulling anything down.

​

On the record player this becomes irresistible, and we dare to recommend Tempel to metal enthusiasts as well as those who love either Fugazi, Guns 'n' Roses, Sonic Youth or, of course, Kvelertak"
