Bio

Hailing from Melbourne, Temujin bring a uniquely Australian perspective to the Gothic Metal genre. Combining haunting vocals and driving guitars, the Temujin sound is layered and atmospheric. The debut album "1000 Tears" was initially released as a self-published mail order album in 2007. Solid sales and worldwide media approval resulted in the signing of a distribution deal with US Indie label Renaissance Records in early 2008. The album was released to retail stores in Canada, the US and Mexico on May 13, 2008. Writing and recording of material for a second album is now underway, with a planned release for mid 2009. Australian Gothic Metal - Refuse to be denied! Members : Karl Lean - Guitars, bass, drums. A founding member and bass player for Australian cult metal band Nothing Sacred for the duration of the band's career. Sacred carved a path of sonic assault across Australia for 10 years, recorded an EP ("Deathwish") and two albums ("Let Us Prey" and the unreleased "Nemesis"), and gigged continuously throughout the Eastern states of Australia. After the demise of NS, Karl did session work and guest gigs with a number of other Australian Metal bands including Angel of Death, Ion Drive, Sporn, and Antarctica. Kelly - Vocals, keyboards. A single session between Kelly and Karl in 2004 was all it took to confirm that something rare was taking shape. The arrival of Kelly instantly transformed the songs under development. Drawing from her experiences in the live music scene, she brought a freshness and soulful quality to the music. Her lyrical creativity, keyboard arrangements and haunting vocal melodies provide a perfect counterpoint to the crunching guitar tracks.
