Holy Death Temple / Seattle, WA

Holy Death Temple — 2026 press photo

Bio.

Holy Death Temple collides the brooding vocals of early '80s dark wave with the urgency of old-school punk and the overdriven, pumping synths of French house. Formed by punk, metal, and hardcore veterans, the trio delivers relentless dark-dancefloor energy live.

The band released three singles in 2025–26, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Converge, Nox Novacula), the most recent premiering at Post-Punk.com.

Holy Death Temple's stage show combines the physical impact of live drums with pumping dance tracks and synchronized lighting, all designed to make the room do one thing: dance.
