There is life on Mars. Modern rock outfit Temples on Mars have proudly announced that they have signed a record deal with Primordial Records. Joining an already brilliant roster for what promises to be an earth shattering year, Temples on Mars will release a brand new album in April 2018 via Primordial Records. PROG Magazine premiered the news yesterday.
Head of Primordial Records’ Alex Boezeman comments:
“I’m incredibly excited to have Temples On Mars join the ever-growing Primordial Records family, one could say I’m over the moon but that’d be technically incorrect… 😉
The album we’re releasing soon takes you on a great trip through the musical landscape that is Temples On Mars, it’s progressive yet accessible and an absolute joy to listen to, front to back.
They are a great addition to our diverse roster and I can’t wait to get their new music out there for everyone to enjoy.”
Celebrating the announcement of the band’s new signing, Temples on Mars proudly present the brand new video for “So In Love With Your Own Drug”, promising to be a trip in its own right. Tackling the very real issues of our reliance on modern technology and social media, the song catapults Temples on Mars into the forefront of the Progressive Rock universe.
Temples on Mars’ frontman James Donaldson states :
“We are extremely excited to be releasing the first Temples on Mars single and accompanying video. We are really proud of this track and the video has come together quite nicely as well. The song itself alludes to the status of modern society. People are just so absorbed in themselves, the media, getting likes and comments, that they are forgetting how to live, how to interact with each other, and forgetting the basics of what being human is all about. Like drugged up zombies sleep walking into extinction. You won’t even notice.”

The name Temples on Mars was inspired by advanced ancient hieroglyphs, which were supposedly created with the assistance of extraterrestrial beings, who helped to develop ancient Earth civilisations. These same beings are theoretically linked with the creation of structures and temples on the surface of Mars.
