Interview by Kris Peters
Sydney hard rocking metal machine Temtris have today released the second single, Eternal Death Machine, from their new album Khaos Eternal which will be unleashed on March 17.
Eternal Death Machine follows lead single Khaos Divine and takes you further into the dystopian landscape captured across the as yet released conceptual album.
The two songs together form the nucleus of what promises to be a wild trip into the unknown, but still only scratch at the surface of what to expect.
Frontwoman Genevieve Rodda sat down with HEAVY to discuss the new song in greater detail.
"This is an interesting one," she smiled. "Someone actually asked me what the song was going to be like genre wise and I struggled to answer. They said is it going to be thrash? Is it going to be death or power metal? But it's got a bit of everything this one. It's got a bit of black metal picking in the intro and a ballady piece in it and then it picks up again, so it's a bit of a mixed song but it's quite punchy. When we first wrote the album and had to pick a single quite a few of the boys chose this one as a single straight off because it's just catchy and stuck in their head. I think it's going to be well accepted."
In the full interview, Genevieve talks more about Eternal Death Machine, how it ties in with the conceptual theme, the reception to Khaos Divine, how long term fans have reacted to the conceptual nature of the new music, the heavier direction of their second single and how it represents the album, the film clip and what it entails, length song running times and making them work as singles, what to expect from the album, upcoming shows and more.
