Temtris has been around since 1999 from their native land of Nowra and they made a good following from themselves bringing their own piece of metal greatness with them. Temtris have already brought out two releases “Threshold” (2003), “Masquerade” (2007), along with their latest release the almighty “Shallow Grave“.
Temtris is a female-fronted band and I completely agree with what they say on their site which is “Yes we have a female singer but she has more balls than you“. Shallow Grave proves this as Genevieve’s vocals are a force to be reckoned with as she is a metal singer hands down.

Vocals are shared by growls inappropriate parts of the album and Temtris has done an excellent job in not having the growling overshadowing the main vocals like some previous bands have done in the past. Some of the vocals are quite haunting like they are telling a scary story, an example of this is the start of “Shallow Grave“.
The music, first and foremost, is amazing as every song on this album is different and I will admit Temtris kept me guessing what was coming next. With different time changes, volume, tones, and stages of aggression it was all tight. The different changes produced great themes and moods which were completed greatly by Genevieve’s vocals and Llew’s growls.

Expect many different genres in this album ranging from Traditional to Black Metal – it is quite the surprise.
Stand-out tracks in this album were quite difficult to pinpoint but my favorite is “Slave to the System“. The song has a very catchy riff and is one of those songs that will stay in your head. The bonus track “Your Time has Come” is another amazing song with a very fast intro that grabs your attention straight away. Other mentions would be “Shallow Grave” and “Forever Haunted“.
Temtris is becoming fast a high-quality metal gem for Australia with already a good following and some good shows in 2014. Hopefully, Temtris can further its name and become a big name for Australia. I’m looking forward to seeing their live show at “Steel Assassins Festival” and “Bangers and Thrash”.
