About
Electric Temple Celebrates Debut Single, ‘Big Black Hole’ Independent U.S. based rock band Electric Temple is ready to stake their claim in the classic hard rock/metal community. The up-and-coming band will premier its new video for the single, ‘Big Black Hole‘ Wednesday, June 19th. The impact is felt from the start by this combination of seasoned musicians as there is some serious rock pedigree in the band - Andrew Freeman (Last in Line, Lynch Mob, Offspring) on vocals, Mike Duda (W.A.S.P.) on bass, Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big, KIX) on drums, and guitarist/songwriter/producer Tony Childs (Shanghai). The track boasts a musical arrangement whose driving guitars, powerhouse vocals and overall instrumentation pays homage to proper old school metal elements similar in sound and style to classic works from the likes of Dio, AC/DC and Ozzy, but with a modern production that gives a fresh and welcomed sonic twist by mix wizard Chris Collier (Korn, Whitesnake, Mick Mars). The song’s dark lyrical theme takes us to a journey within our own human condition, set up nicely from the start by the intro’s heavy guitar riff. In their quest to keep the flames of rock burning bright, Electric Temple champions the belief that “Rock is Religion”. Tony Childs explains “I was going through a rough patch in my life the last few years where a lot of dark things were happening around me, to loved ones, as well as myself. I needed a cathartic way to deal with it. So almost by osmosis I started creating music in a proper old school metal style that I loved but rarely heard anymore. It was quickly evident that it brought me back to my youth when hard rock/metal became my religion and helped me cope with teenage problems. This genre of rock still has the same impact on me today and still has the healing power that "saves my soul". Electric Temple was born out of the need to express myself artistically, go to a place where I could “worship” freely and be able to share my mantra “Rock is Religion”. “ This mantra fuels their relentless pursuit of sonic excellence and their mission to ignite passion in the hearts of all who embrace that old school rock and roll spirit.
