Saturnalia Temple have been on their musical journey for many years, and we assume that most of our readers here are already familiar with their sound: nonetheless, for those who might not be, and due to the dynamics of the band, which have undergone significant changes recently, here is today's
'Focus On', dedicated to their mesmerizingly atmospheric Doom sound.
We will mainly concentrate on Saturnalia Temple's more recent times and its current manifestation, but not without mentioning their early releases, still dense with meaning and musical power.
"Saturnalia Temple unites both spirit, sound, vibration and will in a musical ritual of personal dedication", explained the official biography back at the time when the official website of the band was still active.
Of course, regardless of the line-up changes throughout the years, Saturnalia Temple has always been Tommie Eriksson's musical creature, and thus it reflects many of his own interests, studies, spiritual experiences as well as manifesting all of these through the evocative and spellbinding riffs which have become throughout the years, emblematic of the band's sound.
However, the band's music oozes a magnetic and powerful aura and instinctively appeals to appreciators of heavy and psychedelic doom metal, whether or not they are interested in esoteric and spiritual subjects.
Those who are instead, can now read more about this also in Tommie's own website,
the Institute Of Musical Alchemy.
