Dallas based heavy power trio Temptress skillfully blends diverse subgeneres and influences to produce the groove laden new album entitled “hear”.
“Narrows” is the proper soundtrack for your next party in the middle of the desert as guitars march fiercely borrowing the obscure tones of doom and the raw energy of classic heavy metal to create a massive series of crushing grooves.
“Edge” is an impactful track as the alluring female vocals obviously stand out for the harmonious delivery while the heavy weight of the guitars naturally relies on gritty steady riffage.
The moody grunge essence of “Now Or Never” can certainly entertain you as guitars choose acidic tonalities to fully express a rebellious spirit well supported by the quasi chaotic rhythmic blasts.
Surrounded by a wistful atmosphere “Be Still” holds a bittersweet melodic soul as fragile guitar phrases become entwined with the bold heaviness of the rhythmic section and the catchy chorus.
The instrumental finale “Out Of” embodies the band’s mellow side as it feels like a trippy daydream made of airy melodies flowing gently through a peaceful atmospheric maze.
Full of rocking passion, “hear” demands to be played loud under a hazy sky as Temptress proudly takes another crucial step towards a personal musical evolution.
