The Order of the Solar Temple are from Canada and play Heavy Metal/Rock.
This is Old-School with elements of Classic Rock, Doom Metal and Psychedelic Rock.
The band have a very warm, laid back sound that instantly makes you feel at ease like a welcome old friend.
The singer has an excellent voice; he’s soft and exquisite, or ultra-high and maniacal, or deep and melodramatic…He has character and personality that’s for sure and puts in a stellar performance.
Coming across as a mix of Blue Öyster Cult, (who they also cover), Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Merciful Fate, this is an enjoyable way to spend 45 minutes when you’re in that retro mood.
There really is some great material here! The singer has a forceful presence and some of these riffs are just epic in scope and feeling.
I thoroughly recommend you listen to this and experience the band first-hand. May you be drawn into their world…
Favourite Track: Aeon of Horus. Everything from the vocal delivery to the tense guitars to the understated bass…a stunner of a song.
