'Temple of Sorrow' is out today!

 

so excited for this! :wub:

Temple of Sorrow is amazing :wub: That's the kind of epically building M83 I've been missing, that album description has me very, very anticipated (I must remember to actually listen to this one lmao).

This is a pretty good instrumental album. The opening track stood out the most to me.

'Hell Riders' is awesome, and 'Temple Of Sorrow' is pretty beautiful indeed. It's a lovely instrumental listen, does blend a bit together but still mostly high quality.

 

first album I've listened to from them since HU,WD so at least I'm back paying attention to them.

 

can certainly hear the video game soundtrack thing, it makes for an excellent gaming soundscape.
