Temple of Deimos – Heading To Saint Reaper
Self released – 2022
Rock, Stoner, Desert, Robot
Rated: ***

They hail from Genua, Italy. They’re with three, they made the March Doom Charts, reaching Number 16 and they’re called Temple Of Deimos. And we can be safely state that these four cats are a fan of everything Palm Desert. And as you probably know, so are we. Temple Of Deimos touch on what QOTSA did on those first three to four records. But making the weird weirder, the noise noisier and the chaos much more chaotic. Indeed, and it might be the answer to the question if Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Sorry, I’ve been re-reading that book.) Cause, where Josh Homme intended to move away from stoner rock towards something he dreamed to be Robot Rock; it seems Temple Of Deimos actually did. The ten tracks of Heading To Saint Reaper are an ode to the Palm Desert scene and to that dream of Robot Rock genre… It’s clunky, it’s ramshackle and it’s highly addictive! Even if there are moments where the riff reminds too much of a certain track; you tend to immediately forgive them, cause it’s so well executed…
