Temptress is a heavy trio founded in Dallas, Texas who fuse drone, doom, post-rock, noise, grunge and classic metal into an unexpected blend that sounds at times like each of these yet is also entirely unique. Comprised of veteran touring musicians Andi Cuba (drums/vocals), Kelsey Wilson (guitar/vocals) and Christian Wright (bass/vocals), Temptress began their musical journey in 2019. Within just five months, these experienced players went from jamming for fun to writing and recording their first potent songs, self-releasing the self-titled "Temptress" EP that year and immediately launching into live performances.
Recording their first full-length album "SEE" with Kent Stump (Wo Fat) at Crystal Clear Sound Studio and releasing the record in 2023 through Metal Assault Records, Temptress toured extensively, leveraging the members’ vast onstage experience to present their hybrid heaviness in the most natural and impactful setting. In their relatively short tenure, Temptress has played 200+ shows across the USA and Canada, sharing stages with bands like Khemmis, Royal Thunder, Eyehategod and Black Tusk, and performing at events like Ripplefest Texas, Grim Reefer Fest in Baltimore, Atlanta Doom Fest and the early days of Austin’s Gravitoyd Doom Fest.
Signing to Blues Funeral Recordings with plans to release their second album in early 2026, Temptress is ready to harness their relentless work ethic and explosive live presence to incinerate new stages and make instant new fans with their ambitious, genre-warping heaviness worldwide. "We are ecstatic to join forces with the mighty Blues Funeral for the release of our upcoming album, and are equally thankful to be included alongside such a diverse talented roster of visionary artists and labelmates. We can't wait to see what the future has in store, " bassist and vocalist Christian Wright enthuses.
Guitarist and vocalist Kelsey Wilson adds: "We as a group put much of our heart and soul into our recording and expressing our individuality through our songs. I'm happy to be partnered with a label that shares in that enthusiasm, grateful to be part of this community, and look forward to the future of our next release and the upcoming years."
