Bombastic yet delicate, crushing yet ethereal, driving yet dark, Temptress are a jigsaw of sonic touchstones with no audible seams. Fusing drone, doom, post-rock, grunge and hardcore, the trio produce a molten blend that 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, Temptress’ endless ideas and nuances slide perfectly into place thanks to its members’ vast live experience. New album »hear« churns with searing hooks and dissonant grooves in an irresistible confluence of ideas, and fans of Heavy Temple, The Well, Sasquatch and Hippie Death Cult should prepare to be lured by what Temptress has in store.
Going pedal to the metal on their new single »These Walls«, the band shows no mercy and drags us with no further ado on a uniquely compelling sonic whirlwind. “»These Walls« is such a ripper! It has a different sound than anything we’ve previously done, which we’ve been really excited about. It’s a love song, a post-punk anthem and a straight-up rock track all in one,” they comment.

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 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 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.
Signing to 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.
