Temple of the Absurd Announces Comeback Single “Prayer” and Upcoming Third Album

by | Jun 14, 2026

German metal band Temple of the Absurd has announced their return with a new single titled “Prayer.” The track is scheduled for release on June 19 via Fireflash Records. It serves as the lead preview for the group’s upcoming third studio album, which is slated to arrive later this autumn.

The new single was composed and produced by founding guitarist Schrödey at his Absurd Studio, written thematically as a tribute to lost friends and companions. The forthcoming full-length record will expand on this return by featuring a combination of brand-new compositions alongside reimagined tracks from the band’s 1990s back catalog.

Originally formed in 1993 by vocalist Sabina Classen and Schrödey, the group established their sound by blending heavy metal with dark, atmospheric elements across two studio albums before going on an extended hiatus. Following their recent reformation, Temple of the Absurd is scheduled to perform their first reunion show at the 2026 Wacken Open Air festival.

Being a feminist has been normalized as an irregularity through our patriarchal society, so I'd rather be called a "decent human" than a "feminist man". I breathe Metal and Rock and have a screwed-up sense of humour.
