Magister Templi

Lucifer, Leviathan

Magister Templi is a Norwegian Heavy Metal band, characterized by a strong lyrical imprint inspired by Western mysticism, ritual magic and alchemy. The band was founded in 2008 by singer Abraxas and Guitarist Baphomet, and released a digital demo (Lucifer/Restoration) in 2010. After finally recruiting a full set of five members in the fall of 2011, the band played some concerts in Norway supporting bands such as Fingernails (IT) and Pagan Altar (UK), as well as performing at the Inferno Festival 2012. In June 2012, they self-released their first EP titled "Iao Sabao", with a concept mainly centered on the ancient Greek Bornless Ritual and the alchemical picture series Splendor Solis; shortly after, they signed a contract with Cruz del Sur Music. Due to their lyrical content, they have been often associated to the occult/doom metal movement, but "Lucifer, Leviathan Logos" shows that Magister Templi is not a band that follows the actual retro-70s trend, but rather plays genuine, mainly NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal, embedded within the glorious practices of traditional doom metal. As even 1984-Mercyful Fate might be cited as another influence due to the numerous and sudden tempo-changes abundant in each and every song, no doubt that "Lucifer, Leviathan Logos" is going to be one of most praised released of 2013!
