Temple Of The Smoke

Temple of the Smoke started in 2010. as a four piece, after couple of years spent in exploring different ideas and approaches. This final lineup is composed of Dragan Mirković (drums and percussions), Marko Ilić (bass), Dušan Žica (guitar, analog and digital synthesizer, sampler, dub) and Janko Stojanović (guitar and vocals). The sound in which they positioned fundaments of their temple may be described as echoing ride, mostly instrumental, that varies from psychedelic and space rock expeditions, ambient and drone soundwaves in tradition of 70s kraut/prog rock, mixture of hard rock and roots dub, with elements of trip hop, electronic music and other crossover experiments. Inspired by local and global politics, infinite areas of space, psychedelic phantasmagorias and visions, science fiction, films and literature, Temple of the Smoke are spreading their message armed with arsenal of vintage tube amps, laboratory of analog and digital effects and synthesizers, and treasury of samples taken from the depths of popular culture and history.
