The up-and-coming band will premier its new video for the single, \u2018Am I Damned?\u2018 Oct. 30th in time for Halloween. The impact is felt from the start by this combination of seasoned musicians as there is some serious rock pedigree in the band &#8211; Andrew Freeman (Last in Line, Lynch Mob, Offspring) on vocals, Mike Duda (W.A.S.P.) on bass, Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big, KIX) on drums, and guitarist\/songwriter\/producer Tony Childs (Shanghai). The track boasts a musical arrangement whose driving guitars, powerhouse vocals and overall instrumentation pays homage to proper old school metal elements similar in sound and style to classic works from the likes of Dio, AC\/DC and Ozzy, but with a modern production that gives a fresh and welcomed sonic twist by mix wizard Chris Collier (Korn, Whitesnake, Mick Mars). The song\u2019s dark lyrical theme takes us to a journey within our own human condition, set up nicely from the start by the intro\u2019s heavy guitar riff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Stream or purchase Electric Temple &#8220;High Voltage Salvation&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/smarturl.it\/ElectricTemple\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/smarturl.it\/ElectricTemple<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Take the attitude of Mot\u00f6rhead and then add in the modern swagger of Sunset Strip and you\u2019ll get Electric Temple and the release of their \u2018High Voltage Salvation\u2019. &#8211; Metal Digest<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>As long as there are releases like this, rock will never die. &#8211; Calles Rock Corner<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>They sound so powerful, so resounding, so fantastic. &#8211; Ciudadano Rock<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>High Voltage Salvation has grit by the bucket load but also brings anthemic choruses and some stadium rock power. \u00a0&#8211; Musipedia of Metal<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Gives us flavours of modern rock and post grunge, but most of all classic 70s\/80s hard rock and heavy metal like BLACK SABBATH, DIO, IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST. &#8211; Hard Rock Info<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Buy this because it\u2019s fuckin\u2019 good! &#8211; My Global Mind<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Electric Temple proves that real rock isn\u2019t just alive\u2014it\u2019s roaring louder than ever. &#8211; Melodic Net<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Order CD:<\/strong><br \/>\nEONIAN RECORDS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonianrecords.com\/index#\/electric-temple\/\">https:\/\/www.eonianrecords.com\/index#\/electric-temple\/<\/a><br \/>\nAUSTRALIA: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.electricshockmetal.com\">www.electricshockmetal.com<\/a><br \/>\nBRAZIL: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animalrecords.com.br\/\">www.animalrecords.com.br\/<\/a><br \/>\nFRANCE: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tromhell.com\">www.tromhell.com<\/a><br \/>\nGERMANY: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prideandjoy.de\">www.prideandjoy.de<\/a><br \/>\nGERMANY: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schmankerl-records.com\">www.schmankerl-records.com<\/a><br \/>\nJAPAN: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diskunion.net\">www.diskunion.net<\/a><br \/>\nJAPAN: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metalpesado.com\">www.metalpesado.com<\/a><br \/>\nJAPAN: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockstakk.shop-pro.jp\">www.rockstakk.shop-pro.jp<\/a><br \/>\nNETHERLANDS: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nodustrecords.com\">www.nodustrecords.com<\/a><br \/>\nNETHERLANDS: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonicrendezvous.com\">www.sonicrendezvous.com<\/a><br \/>\nNETHERLANDS: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\/str\/metalaorbv\">www.ebay.com\/str\/metalaorbv<\/a><br \/>\nSPAIN: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sunrecords.es\/\">www.sunrecords.es\/<\/a><br \/>\nUNITED KINGDOM: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.replayrecords.co.uk\">www.replayrecords.co.uk<\/a><br \/>\nUS: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/shandismusicandmore\/\">www.facebook.com\/shandismusicandmore\/<\/a><br \/>\nUS: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animatedinsanityrecords.com\/\">www.animatedinsanityrecords.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Band Members:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nMatt Starr (drums)<br \/>\nMike Duda (bass)<br \/>\nTony Childs (guitar)<br \/>\nAndrew Freeman (vocals)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tracklisting<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
