about

Red Temple Spirits’ second album originally released in 1989 has been described as a fully-developed excursion into other realms, with rumbling basslines and slithery guitar washes of elegant brilliance. Once again drawing inspiration from Tibetan and Native American cultures, vocalist William Faircloth leads the listener through a tangle of mystical themes while the band (guitarist Dallas Taylor, bassist Dino Paredes and drummer Thomas Pierik) skillfully blend heavy tribal rhythms and ethereal guitar, building up to moments of extreme tension. In the UK, Sounds magazine described their song Soft Machine as “a beast of a sucker,” and City of Millions was called “a song many bands have died trying to execute.” In addition to the nine originals, If Tomorrow... also features cover versions of Pink Floyd’s Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun, and 13th Floor Elevators’ Rollercoaster. The album has been completely re-mastered, and is supplemented with two bonus tracks (the B-side of the New Land single, originally released on Independent Project Records in 1989, along with a previously unreleased later version of the song New Land).

Please see our Merch section to purchase the limited edition 3-CD set with both Red Temple Spirits albums plus a CDep reaturing the recordings from the band's first demo tape.

Stunning album and artist. Dark love. The best dark vibes in genre. I prefer the first works because they are darker than the last. We're waiting for her come back. Get well soon. raulmori

Tomb For Two

Lebanon Hanover is a classic amongst classics, and this album is one of their best in my opinion. When I learned it was being re-released on vinyl, AND it would be a signed copy, I had to jump on it, it will be a great addition to my collection. ghaseloff
