French death/black metallers TEMPLE OF BAAL are currently giving the final touches to their fourth album. The recording sessions are taking place in Hybreed Studios with Andrew Guillotin (Glorior Belli). 

The new recording will consist of ten tracks with a running time of about one hour, and shall be released by Agonia Records in the fall of 2013.

12.10 - Giessen, Under The Sign Of The Black Light Fest, Germany (with Acheron, Archgoat...)
