Album Review: Transience - Temple

StarStarStarStarHalf Star

"A unique, thrilling debut album that has its darker moments but a powerful solid sound"

Anglophobia opens with a beautiful classical sound before plunging into a heavy, lyricless rock beat.

Frontman Robert Cuzens has an excellent range that delivers powerful lyrics in Disillusion and Sister. Guitars blare with Cuzens’ incredible screamo vocals in The Pine Bluff Variant, a delightful, heavy nine-minute track that’ll leave one yearning for more. Peoples Temple is wistfully dark, while Shining Lights has a softer sound with deep, meaningful lyrics; both tracks are standouts. This Melbourne six-piece progressive heavy rock group have produced a unique, thrilling debut album that has its darker moments but a powerful solid sound.
