Chief Spires and John Ehlers started writing some new tunes mid 2010. Metal, but definitely not death metal. More along the lines of concrete trance-like rock/metal riffs.  Chief had met Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy) a few years while touring extensively in the US and Europe.  He and Flo became close friends and soon realized they had alot of the same musical interest outside of death metal. They both were huge fans of bands from Deftones to Radiohead to A Perfect Circle. When Chief and John realized the vibe the new music was creating, Chief immediately thought of Flo and emailed him a few of the rough demo tracks. Flo really liked it and they began working on arrangements to get Flo from Montreal, Quebec to South Carolina to record the drum tracks. Three weeks later Flo arrived in SC to record a 5 track EP.  With drums tracks in hand Chief and John went to their individual home studios and began recording all the guitar, bass, strings, piano and synth parts. Then the singer search was on.  After trying a few local guys, Chief and John knew that they needed to look further and harder for the perfect fit. They headed to the Atlanta area where they heard Michael Rock fronting a cover band. Chief approached Michael with the new material and ask him to give it a listen. Four days later Mike had written the song Listen To Reason.  Michael's lyrics were very intelligent with many voice variations. Temple of Thieves was born. They've since completed 3 more tracks. All 4 tracks are available for streaming online and purchase download. Temple of Thieves have 10 new songs being written. All material to this point has been mixed, produced and mastered by Chief Spires.  Temple of Thieves is seeking a label that will help them with their goal of releasing an entire album.
