LP version is limited to 500 copies. Important mailorder customers will receive exclusive color vinyl. Please specify which color you desire.

It's important to point out that the LP version has an albums worth of extra material spread out over the two LPs. The CD is a heavy rock-centric record but with the additional material mixed in, which is experimental in nature, the record has more breathing room. So, the CD version is a sharp, focused, percussive rock attack while the LP feels a little bit more free
.
Brand new full CD/LP full length from renowned Swedish noise rock outfit the Skull Defekts. LP is limited to only 500 copies and has nearly two full sides of bonus material not available on the CD.

The Skull Defekts is a band from Sweden in the very North of Europe. Their intense, monotonous, rhythmic and sexual out rock has since their start in early 2005 been spreading energies of various kinds to welcoming audiences and listeners. The DFX is also exploring worlds of noise, the drone and psychedelic electronics on waves on other records but The Temple is deeper, harder, more sex, more occult.

With a background in hardcore, garage rock, post punk and experimental music - The Skull Defekts wear echoes of their past alongside with influences from tribal roots music, sufi rituals, drone, techno, no wave, 80's Factory Records stuff and it's surroundings, industrial music, the occult, underground club culture and manipulations of the mind.

Get DFXed. DFX is sex, rhythm and the power of sound.

The Shining Star - Live
$11.99
info, reviews & mp3

Heavy lyrical emotion transcends linguistic barriers and Pirako's blown out fuzzy free-dream guitar work is an alternate universe heavy Japanese shoegaze. They are a forest at night drenched in echoing reverb and soaked with deeply spiritual/emotional melodies. . (more)
