About "Edge", the band comments, "the video gives a parallel to the song theme while showcasing the women of Temptress. It's a psychedelic trip with a style reminiscent of nostalgic era music videos and a fun look at what a night of getting ready in a greenroom could entail."

Bombastic yet delicate, crushing yet ethereal, driving yet dark, Temptress is a jigsaw of sonic touchstones with no audible seams. Fusing doom, post-rock, grunge and post-hardcore, their molten sonic blend flows and obliterates like a liquid metal assassin. "This album as a whole is deeply personal, with all of us equally putting our hearts and souls into the songs. It has a different feel than our priors and shows our growth and different influences, tripolar if you will," the band comments.With 200+ shows played in their relatively short tenure, their endless ideas and nuances slide perfectly into place thanks to its three members' vast live experience. Their upcoming sophomore album "hear" churns with searing riffs and dissonant grooves in an irresistible confluence of ideas, all materializing in their compelling male/female vocal trio and taking us on a journey through light and shadow. Fans of hybrid rock crushers such as Helms Alee, The Well, Heavy Temple should love this. Don't miss their previous single These Walls!

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 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 debut 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 to present their hybrid heaviness in the most natural and impactful setting. In their relatively short tenure, Temptress has played over 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.

Now signed to US independent powerhouse Blues Funeral Recordings, 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 in support of their new album "hear" in 2026.
