Powerslaves asked Vocalist, Genevieve Rodda to tell us about the band, her thoughts on some interesting questions and about the new single “Run”. Here is what she had to say:
POWERSLAVES What does your band name mean? And what type of heavy metal do you play?
GENEVIEVE Temtris was a name we came up with to try and match the fact that we are female fronted but it did not have a meaning as such. We play traditional metal but also use a lot of different styles, e.g. Thrash, Death etc. depending on the emotion we need to portray in a song.
