Temple Of Gnosis

Atmospheric Symphonic Death/Black/Doom Metal act. One-man project from Belgrade, Serbia. Founded in 2015. The artist describes the genre of his music as an "Occult alchemical doom/death metal". A comprehensive description: "Temple Of Gnosis is a single-member symphonic occult death/doom project, inspired by the Western esoteric traditions, especially the alchemical process of Enlightenment and within that, the first stages of the alchemical Work, representing the dissolution and deconstruction of spiritual elements to form a base for a new being. Philosophically, this is the first process of transformation of mind and spirit, and it consists of catharsis (emptying and cleansing) and the destruction of the original structure in order to build a new structure from the ashes. This is to say that there is no enlightenment without traveling through the darkness; light and darkness go together and act as a single dimension, of which they are the opposite poles. Music consists of a combination of dark ambient, doom-styled & sludgy guitars and death metal vocals, all supported by heavy symphonic and dark keyboards. The goal is to create a dark atmosphere that represents the process shadow-work and discharge of dark emotions, the way through the darkness to the light, and to represent many other aspects and symbols of the occult tradition through the music." Another one: "Temple Of Gnosis represents a dark spawn of an alchemical Great work, the process of Shadow-work. This is the first step in the transformation of the soul, leading towards the Enlightment and transcendence of the spirit to a Divine level. The alchemical force that reaches the physical plane in the form of sound can be described as a combination of death/doom metal, symphonic nightly orchestrals and dark ambient, all transposed under the Great sign of the Gnosis, empowered by the esoteric & occult archetypes. Temple Of Gnosis is an emblem for an Age to come, an Age of Great Decisions & Judgement when only the few wise ones shall prevail." Email: templeofgnosis@gmail.com
