1) A G… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands, who share the name "Crematory".
1) A German Death Metal (early), Gothic Metal band formed in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany in 1992.
The German Crematory broke up in 2001 and reformed in 2003 to release the album Revolution, a largely progressive effort which brought the band into more accessible/techno-metal territory than ever before.
Their sound has often been compared to early-Sentenced, Fear Factory, and Dark Tranquillity. The band received its earliest recognition in the mid-1990s by touring with My Dying Bride, Tiamat and Atrocity. Much like the latter two groups, the band had begun as traditional death metal, then evolved with an industrial music and gothic metal musical direction on later albums. The band would receive heavy rotation on MTV Germany, and would also make appearances at various extreme metal festivals, including Germany's Wacken Open Air in the years 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2008, in addition to inclusion on Nuclear Blast compilation samplers.
The band re-signed to Massacre Records in 2006 after a 10 year stint with Nuclear Blast; Massacre had been the band's first label.
Active for almost 20 years (with a brief split between 2001 and 2003) they are among one of Europe's longest running bands affiliated with the gothic metal genre. (source wikipedia.com)
2) A Swedish Death Metal band formed in Haninge, Sweden in 1989.
The Swedish Crematory formed in 1989, and released 4 demos and one EP.
Temple Of Love
Crematory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand
You run for the cover in the temple of love
You run for another but still the same
For the wind will blow my name across this land
In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
Walls as wide as lovers eyes
In the temple of love - shine like thunder
In the temple of love - cry like rain
In the temple of love - hear my calling
In the temple of love - hear my name
And the devil in the black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away
With the sunlight died and the night above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside
You run for the cover in the temple of love
You run for another, it's all the same
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside
With the fire from the fire works up above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
I shine like thunder, cry like rain
And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger, cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before this
Black wind calls my name, to you no more
In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on
Walls as wide as lovers eyes
In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on
Walls as wide as lovers eyes
In the black sky thunder sweeping under
Ground and over water, sounds of crying,
Weeping will not save your
Faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave when
Stone is dust and only air remains
In the temple of love - shine like thunder
In the temple of love - cry like rain
In the temple of love - hear my calling
In the temple of love - is falling down
The lyrics to Crematory's "Temple of Love" convey a sense of desperation and a search for refuge in the face of pain and fear. The song features an image of fireworks and gunfire, suggesting a chaotic environment. The singer has a lover but only turns to them for comfort as a last resort, seeking refuge in the titular temple of love. The chorus emphasizes that love can shine like thunder and cry like rain, conveying both strength and vulnerability. The devil in the black dress serves as a menacing presence, while the guardian angel abandons the singer. In the end, even the temple of love falls as the black wind calls the singer's name.
The lyrics can be interpreted in a number of ways, but they primarily resonate with themes of desperation and the search for refuge in a bleak world. The temple of love is a place to hide from pain and fear, but ultimately it cannot withstand the forces at play. The imagery of thunder and rain serves as a reminder of the strength and fragility of love, which can both empower and overwhelm us.
