TEMPLE FANG kündigen neues Studioalbum für April an
TEMPLE FANG announces new studio album, "Lifted From The Wind", for an April release on Stickman Records!
Amsterdam-based heavy psychedelia rock collective Temple Fang has announced the release of their long-awaited, new studio album, entitled "Lifted from the Wind". The album will see the light of day on April 25th as CD, Vinyl and Digital formats through the band's label partner Stickman Records; a first single as well as pre-order options will be unveiled on March 13th. In support of "Lifted from the Wind", Temple Fang have also confirmed an extensive European tour with many more shows to follow, find all dates listed below!
Forming in 2018, Temple Fang really started hitting their stride in 2019 with, amongst many others, two highly acclaimed Roadburn shows and appearances at many festivals and clubs across Europe. Having no release out yet and thus creating much anticipation to what their recorded output would end up like. With alternating lead vocalists, two wildly harmonizing guitarists, a powerhouse of a rhythm-section, and armed with truly psychedelic compositions fueled by their exposure to South American plant-medicine, the band took the heavy-psych underground by storm and seemed to be gearing up to bottle this magick and commit it to their studio debut. And then 2020 happened.
During the pandemic the band stayed as active as possible, appearing on whatever live-streams they could, resulting in well received appearances on Eurosonic and National Dutch Television, creating even more buzz. A string of seated shows followed, whatever it took to keep playing.
Losing their original drummer, the band continued on with a replacement post-covid, putting out a half live/half studio album (Fang Temple 2021), an EP (Jerusalem/The Bridge 2022), multiple live albums (Live at Merleyn 2020, Live at Freak Valley 2023, Live at Krach am Bach 2024), and playing an seemingly endless string of shows from Oslo to Milan, hitting many festivals in between. Roadburn, Desertfest Berlin, Sonic Blast (twice), Palp and countless others were exposed to the magick of this true free rock n’ roll phenomenon, leaving audiences stunned and clamouring for more.
Fast forward to 2025 as Temple Fang is ready to release "Lifted from the Wind" on Stickman Records. A record they themselves consider to be their true debut studio album. On this sprawling double record, released on the only label they would give up their independence for, Temple Fang appears, for the first time in their existence, fully formed.
"This album has been a long time coming for us. Ever since the pandemic hit, we’ve been struggling to keep the band together and make an album the way we’ve envisioned it," the band states.
"We are intensely proud of this album. It was a true collaborative effort for us, and that includes our producer Sebastiaan van Bijlevelt. We feel stronger than ever as a band and are ready to take this into the world, where it belongs!"
"Lifted from the Wind" Tracklist:
1. The River
2. Once
3. Harvest Angel
4. The Radiant
5. Josephine
Fierce and strong, hard rocking yet elegant, with 20min+ psych freakouts and prog ballads side-by-side, Temple Fang truly delivers on the promise they’ve always held, to really stretch the possibilities of what it means to be a rock band in 2025. With spectacular wild-man Daan Wopereis as a full member on the drums, Temple Fang now can deliver on their commitment to really rock, to blow your mind AND tear your heart out.
Rock n’ Roll as a means to attaining spiritual freedom. Mind-bending riffs, triple vocal harmonies, dubbed out bass and groovy yet hard hitting drums, ecstatically rocking and truly psychedelic, Temple Fang delivers it all with LOVE. Longform rock for fans of Motorpsycho, The Grateful Dead, Hawkwind and Hendrix!
