Temple Balls release their fourth album, “AVALANCHE,” on November 10, 2023. Their first single, “No Reason”, hit the airwaves on June 22. And they have also released a video for their second single, “Trap”.
The band shared their thoughts on the track: “In today’s world, there’s a lot of chatter about reshaping Rock n’ Roll. We’re not about that. We’re more about revving up the classic vibes. Think of it like cars; while some prefer the sleek, modern electric vehicles, we’re all about cruising in those vintage V8s. Both have their charm, but we know what suits us best. We hope you dig it too.”
Temple Balls are a hard rock band hailing from Finland, known for their electrifying performances. Whether they’re opening for legends like Deep Purple and Uriah Heep or headlining their own gigs, they are making a sound that is just as excirting and proves again Rock music is doing very well.
Their journey began with their debut single, “Hell and Feelin’ Fine,” which garnered significant attention on Finnish radio. Their first album, produced by the renowned Tobias Lindell, was a hit, leading to tours across Finland, Japan, and Ukraine. Their success in Japan was so immense that they were voted as “the second brightest hope” by Burrn! magazine readers and named “The Newcomer of the Year” on Masa Ito’s Rock TV.
Their subsequent albums, “UNTAMED” and “PYROMIDE,” further solidified their reputation, with the latter showcasing their signature melodic hard rock sound. Their tours with bands like H.E.A.T. and their performances at various festivals have only added to their growing fanbase.
Fast forward to 2022, and the band released the first single from their upcoming album, “STRIKE LIKE A COBRA,” which was met with rave reviews. And now, as we approach the end of 2023, we eagerly await the release of “AVALANCHE.”
