We’re talking movie soundtracks with Rich from\u00a0Tempel<\/strong> on this week’s Friday Guest List<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last time I spoke to the instrumental duo<\/a>\u00a0back in mid-2015,\u00a0they\u00a0had just released the amazing follow-up to what is possibly my favourite debut album<\/a>\u00a0of all time. That majestic second album went on to top several end of year lists<\/a> around the place, and remains a must have for fans of instrumental metal. Today we get to hear from the band’s drummer and resident film buff Rich, who fills us in on his all-time favourite movie soundtracks. Put on your headphones and grab the remote, then throw the remote back on the table. You didn’t need that, you idiot.<\/p>\n

\n

So it’s been a couple of years since we last caught up with you guys, what’s new?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Writing for the new album is in the very early stages. Unfortunately, I think this one is gonna take quite a while so I hope everyone can be real patient with us. We want to make sure we chart a new path and do some things we haven\u2019t done in the past and ensuring that it\u2019s better than the previous albums as well. Other than that, we\u2019re just enjoying our lives, working our jobs, and spending time with our families.<\/p>\n

Ryan\u00a0mentioned in our previous interview\u00a0that you’re\u00a0a massive movie buff, does film play any sort of role in inspiring your music in Tempel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It probably does subconsciously. We don\u2019t really think about making certain songs sound like specific movies or anything like that, but I think that stuff always creeps in without you knowing it.<\/p>\n

As an instrumental band, does the lack of a vocal component to convey theme\/story compel you to create a more cinematic style of music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think you have to. The riffs have to say something by themselves and essentially every lead and solo has to carry the emotional elements that vocals often do. On top of that, we\u2019ve always been drawn to \u201cepic\u201d music with lots of peaks and valleys. We want every song to be its own separate journey. Many bands go with the \u201cless is more\u201d mentality but when we\u2019re in the studio demoing songs we usually get carried away and always find ways to make the songs even bigger. I don\u2019t suppose that\u2019s gonna change anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Very happy to hear that. If you were given the chance, which film\/story\/fictional work would you like to attempt to score (or re-score)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two films come to mind both directed by Michele Saovi: StageFright<\/strong> and The Church<\/strong>. I think we could make a cool ambient score for those with some heavier parts in the right places. Massively underrated films by the way.<\/p>\n

Sounds like I’ve got some homework to do. I’ve not seen either of those. So today you’re going to take us through your All-Time Top 5 Film Scores, let’s see what you’ve chosen…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Keith Emerson –\u00a0Inferno<\/em> [1980]<\/h3>\n

Most people would take Goblin\u2019s score for Suspiria<\/strong> score but I\u2019ve always had a preference for the dark and gothic piano score that Keith Emerson provided for Inferno. Inferno is a bit more of a pessimistic and hopeless journey and this score fits the aesthetic perfectly. Probably the best example of the beauty of this score is the scene before Rose gets killed where she is wandering through the apartment.<\/p>\n
