About
In completing his sci-fi serial killer trilogy, French electronic mastermind Franck Hueso drops the after-hours bacchanal to an eight-year dance party. Following 2018’s <i>Leather Teeth</i> and 2022’s <i>Leather Terror</i>, <i>Leather Temple</i> invokes a futuristic neon cityscape that conjures Ridley Scott’s <i>Blade Runner</i> and the sleeve of Iron Maiden’s <i>Somewhere in Time</i>. Hueso’s storyline propels us into the fictional Midwichopolis in the year 2077, where our heroes Bret Halford (a mashup of Poison lead singer/<i>Rock of Love</i> beau Bret Michaels and Judas Priest singer Rob Halford) and Lita Connor (a combination of former Runaways guitarist Lita Ford and <i>Terminator</i> ass-kicker Sarah Connor) battle the supervillain Iron Tusk. But where <i>Leather Teeth</i> and <i>Leather Terror</i> featured guest vocalists as varied as Ulver’s Kristoffer Rygg, Norwegian artist Sylvaine, and former Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato, <i>Leather Temple</i> is an all-instrumental affair. As Hueso tells it, he simply wanted to bask in melodies inspired by the electronic music of the ’80s and ’90. .
