Tempelschlaf

On the seventh full-length album 'Tempelschlaf', The Ruins of Beverast offers a psychedelic and hypnotic exploration of harrowing occult soundscapes, blending atmospheric black, doom, and gothic metal. The album's concept is mired in the disquietude of nightmares, with Alexander von Meilenwald's songwriting adopting a more concise and direct approach, balancing pummeling drum work and soaring riffs with somber, clean guitar passages and a mix of harsh and weary clean vocals. This results in a versatile and transportive experience that is both rhythmically aggressive and rich with dreadful, cinematic atmosphere.
