Gramschap has announced the release of the debut Forbidden Temple album, 'Into the Black Pentagram', for the end of the year. I have a few of the demos and the split with Ultima Thule and I really like what they are doing. There was some doubt around whether they'd actually release an album or just continue with demos so this comes as good news to me.

Step Into the Black Pentagram has just been released on CD and tape. Going to fire in an order. And just to be extra awkward the band have self- released a new demo today as well :laugh:
Preview track is great. Will pick up an LP if and when they surface.
Yeah it sounds good to me. Put me in mind of the Diabolical Fullmoon record from last year so I stuck that on earlier for the first time in a while. Great little album.
Must give that another lash. Found the vocals grating after a while of I remember correctly.
No, wasn't this. This is great. Was it released on vinyl?
Defo no issue with the vocals. I don't think it's been released on vinyl yet.
I got the 'Step Into the Black Pentagram' LP in the post last night and I'm giving it a spin now. With this kind of raw filthy BM it seems a bit pointless to compare the CD and vinyl quality- it sounds equally brutish on both formats ;D
The minimal cover looks cool to me but there's not much to discuss on that front either! It is what it is. I'm looking forward to listening to this back to back with the MoX and Perverted Ceremony albums as it fits with what those bands are doing, despite each band having their own take on the format.
I have the Demo II/ Pact With Evil LP on and it amuses me that the artwork is so much more lavish than the full length while the sound on these demos is raw as absolute fuck. It's interesting to compare the second demo from 2017 with a more recent one (last year I think) and hearing the progression they have made in song writing. They haven't really altered things much but they have become incrementally more sophisticated. Very incrementally....

A new album coming in 2025 through Medieval Prophecy 8)
The new album, In the Rotting Grave, is coming out on Friday. High hopes.
New song reminded me of To Enter Pagan by Promordial.
I listened to a new song ages ago but can't remember anything about it. But that is an unusual comparison.
Just one riff.
Counting down to putting in my order for the LP and CD in the next few hours. They have come up with one of the best song titles I've seen in a while... My Tomb Will Be Ugly :laugh:
Edit- you're right about the similarity between the new song on To Enter Pagan.
Feckin LP sold out immediately from MPR. Nabbed a CD. I might pick up the vinyl if it shows up on NWN.
Down With The Most High posted them. Maybe crazy to Oz.
Yeah, sure the fuckin CD was 50 dollars or more with postage. Maybe I don't need it on vinyl as well... me bollix :laugh:
Feck it, I just ordered the LP from Darker Than Black 8)

New album up on YouTube at last 8)
Just seen that early! Good excuse for a catch up of all the weirdo Belgian stuff!
CD landed today. Tshirt of that quite gimpy artwork ordered too. I have to say, I like it. It suits their crude vibe perfectly.
LP arrived yesterday. Has the cd artwork on the back. Is that shirt you got? Much prefer the LP.
Yeah but it's black on white.
