Tempter - Turpis Rex [2LP] [ Vinyl ]

Tempter unleashes a hypnotic doom‑tinged heavy metal odyssey on this double‑LP edition. Pressed on clear vinyl, Turpis Rex resurrects twelve unreleased tracks from a 2010 live‑analog session—finally unleashed in 2019 by Back on Black.

Side A’s opener “Hieromantie,” followed by “Union Exitus” and “Klerus,” drifts through ritualistic chants and monolithic riffs. Side B’s “Elissa,” “Manifestatio (The Oath of Turpitude)” and “Deus Artisan” expand the darkness with choral surges. The second disc closes with apocalyptic finales: “Angelus,” “Cilice,” and “Votum.”

The production’s murky bass and raw heaviness are ideal for die‑hard doom metal collectors. With its gatefold sleeve and clear‑vinyl allure, this 2LP pressing is a rare gem, blending archaic atmosphere with powerful analog warmth. A ritualistic must‑have.
