The online shop is now open, to buy CDs and Merchandise click Temujin online shop "1000 Tears" "1000 Tears is an album that will capture you from start to finish no matter what your musical taste may be. Two thumbs up because I only have two thumbs to put up!" - nujams website (USA) "Gentle/harsh, tender/angry, but most of all ... deep ... the most solid work I've heard for a long time. The future is theirs ..." - ROCK SHOW radio (Greece) "Kelly delivers some stunning vocals ... There are really no weaknesses to be found. This is a great release which should satisfy every gothic metal fan." - Metal Archives “1000 Tears has become a beautiful debut album, where power and emotion are in perfect balance with each other in every song" - Metal Maidens (Netherlands) "These atmospheric sounding songs are very good too. It is a real pleasure when something like this arrives at Ravenheart Towers. 8/10" - RavenHeart Webzine (UK) Two Free MP3s from the album are available at Last.FM - download, share, keep it Loud! 2006 Writing and recording are the focus for the year. Songs are written, recorded, and then reworked as the track list for what will become the debut album slowly takes shape. From an initial collection of more than 20 songs, a short of list of 15 is recorded and mixed by year's end. 2007 With the songs now ready, the decision is made to go ahead with a self-produced CD release. The 15 tracks are reduced to a final list of 13 and mastering, art work and manufacturing is arranged. "1000 Tears" goes 'live' for mail order in June, and into online stores for download in September. Heavy promotion throughout the second half of the year results in air play in 8 different countries, published interviews in 5 different languages, and a host of strong reviews from magazines and webzines around the world. 2008 The year begins with breakthough news - a contract with US Indie label Renaissance Records is signed. As a result, "1000 Tears" will be released into retail distribution in May throughout the USA, Canada and Mexico. Preproduction on a first music video clip is underway, and plans are being laid for a US tour in mid to late 2008. It's already been an interesting journey ... and the best is yet to come. Refuse to be denied! Members Kelly : At the heart of Temuin's sound is the haunting voice of Kelly. Her lyrical creativity, keyboard arrangements and vocal melodies are a perfect counterpoint to the brooding, driving riffs. She pours into her songwriting a passion for music and the ability to observe and chronicle emotions and relationships. Karl Lean : A founding member and bass player from Australian cult metal band Nothing Sacred. 'Sacred carved a path of sonic assault across Australia for 10 years, gigging continuously throughout the Eastern states and recording an EP ("Deathwish") and two albums ("Let Us Prey" and the unreleased "Nemesis"). After NS, Karl did session work and guest gigs with a number of other Australian Metal bands including Angel of Death, Ion Drive and Spawn. A desire to use this experience in a new musical direction led to the formation of Temujin. Banners - Add a banner to your web page and show your support!
