The critically acclaimed death metal band Temple of Void are back with their new album, The Crawl.

While the caveman brawn of previous albums, such as Summoning the Slayer (2022), remains, there is a wider dynamic at play on the group's fifth full-length album. Now a quartet featuring guitarist Alex Awn, drummer Jason Pearce, vocalist and guitarist Mike Erdody and bassist Justin Malek, the Michiganders aren’t shying away from their non-metal influences, seeking to integrate grunge and post-punk more fully into their brutish signature sound. The singles “The Crawl” and “Soulburn” demonstrate TEMPLE OF VOID's proficiency in their death-cloaked, spearheaded attack. From the high intensity of the opening track, “Poison Icon”, to the granite wall of “The Twin Stranger”, The Crawl is not just an evolution of TEMPLE OF VOID; it is a harbinger of death metal to come. 

TEMPLE OF VOID are evolving, rolling their 20-sided die yet again. This time, it's raw, in-your-face, dissonant, heavy and absolutely human. Featuring the captivating 'referential' cover art by Travis Smith (Opeth, Death), The Crawl burrows into the bone and flays the mind, leaving metalheads wanting more. Venture into the deepest, darkest dungeons, fellow Templars!
