Montana's industrial/EBM act Order Of The Static Temple is back with a new album, Hearts Bleed Black, released yesterday on Negative Gain Productions. Composed of eight tracks for over 26 minutes of musical experience, Hearts Bleed Black blends industrial, EBM, coldwave, and gothic rock. To celebrate the event, the band has released a music video for the album opener, "Monolith Of Love".

Hearts Bleed Black is all about darkness, decay, and blood lust drips from the cobweb-adorned crypts of sonic misery. Every note inspires tragedy, every reverb-soaked guitar melody reminds us of loss and longing. Enter the dark stage of immortality, of suffering and tragic unrequited love. The last dance is now and forever.

Songs were written, recorded, mastered and produced by Rob Robinson. Video, photos, costumes, additional lyrics and imagery by Damsel In The Dollhouse. Remixes by: Subimage, Steven OLaf, Jack Boughner.

Order Of The Static Temple is a music/performance art collaboration headed by Rob Robinson (ohGr, Kevorkian Death Cycle). Order Of The Static Temple combines dark synths, harsh percussion, dystopian samples, EBM, noise and in the case of the latest album, gothic rock, to help personify the "Electronic Cult Music" title. The live show is a visual spectacle, with all the high energy of a demonic mass, complete with the seductive theatre of the enigmatic Damsel In The Dollhouse.
