US black metal entity Temple ov Ahriman reveals  its forthcoming debut offering, “Heretics of Consensual Reality”, in its entirety. The album is about to be independently released on June 26th, with a striking cover art by Mitchell Nolte.

Temple ov Ahriman is a one-man black metal band hailing from Austin, Texas. Conceived during the Covid-19 pandemic, the project is the culmination of several years of intense songwriting activity. Mainman and mastermind Thornicator states, “Years ago, my other band was to record an album, but our studio time was delayed due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Never one to sit idle for too long, I took the opportunity to write music for a follow-up release. What followed was a prolific period unlike anything I’d experienced before or since, and it quickly became apparent that I perhaps had too much material for just one band to learn and record. With the encouragement of a few good friends, I eventually decided to start my own spin-off project and thus Temple ov Ahriman was born.”

Temple ov Ahriman is slated to leave its mark this summer with the release of their debut full-length. Clocking in at a little over 42 minutes, “Heretics of Consensual Reality” is a tour de force that is guaranteed to take the listener on a journey. “It was a little Hell seeing this project through to completion,” Thornicator states. “Several years, thousands of dollars, and three studios later, I finally have a master recording that I feel does the material justice. It was my unwavering belief in the material that pushed me to continue despite innumerable setbacks.”

Combining elements of second-wave black metal, contemporary Finnish black metal, and D-beat, Temple ov Ahriman is poised to take the underground by storm.
