Temptress Take On 2025 With Techno Stomp Of Mother

It’s been a bit since we last checked in on Temptress and in that time, the Manchester, New Hampshire-based outfit has released 2 full-length records (’23’s We Are and ’24’s The Time Traveller’s Continuum) which has only strengthened the band’s legacy as New England’s preeminent modern cyber metallers.

If you haven’t been paying attention to the sonic tales Temptress has been telling then the opener on newest EP Mother,”Exile”, is the absolute best way to ease you in without missing a beat as the syncopated stomp coupled with Jake Funk’s croon comes at listeners like a comfort blanket. Only heavier. As in the music. Not an actual heavy comfort blanket.

“Bloodline” gets somber and introspective for a spell with a piano-laden number that focuses on Funk’s softer side (“I don’t wanna waste my breath in an empty room/I just wanna take what’s left and give it all to you”) and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Coy’s subtler side supplying the aura-filled backdrop while “Vessel” opens it all back up on a song that’s big on grooves and atmosphere as Funk’s gruff delivery offers up all the elite Electro Metal vibes.

Getting back to that “Cyber Metal” label, nothing screams that more than “Sunken” with its’ punctuated programmed hits and gnarly sounding riffage as Funk’s clean vocals offer light from the dark. “Sturm” is a steady stream of Brian LaChance’s sticks sticking the landing and a killer chorus from Funk while the title track, which shuts down Temptress’ latest, is similar in feel to “Exile” but heavier with Coy’s instrumentation firing on all cylinders as Funk belts out another memorable chorus.

Mother releases on January 17th and you can pre-order your copy NOW by heading here. For more from Temptress, follow the band across the information superhighway and make sure to make stops here and here for more.
