BIO
Hailing from Melbourne, Temujin bring a uniquely Australian perspective to the Gothic Metal genre. Combining haunting vocals and driving guitars, the
Temujin sound is layered and atmospheric.
The debut album "1000 Tears" was initially released as a self-published mail order album in 2007. Solid sales and worldwide media approval resulted in the
signing of a distribution deal with US Indie label Renaissance Records in early 2008. The album was released
to retail stores in Canada, the US and Mexico on May 13, 2008.
Writing and recording of material for a second album is now underway, with a planned release for mid 2009.

Members
Kelly Lean :
At the heart of Temuin's sound is the haunting voice of Kelly. Her lyrical creativity, keyboard arrangements and vocal melodies
are a perfect counterpoint to the brooding, driving riffs. She pours into her songwriting a passion for music and the ability to observe and chronicle
emotions and relationships.
Karl Lean :
A founding member and bass player for Australian cult metal band Nothing Sacred. 'Sacred carved a path of sonic assault across Australia
for 10 years, gigging continuously throughout the Eastern states and recording an EP ("Deathwish") and two albums ("Let Us Prey" and the unreleased "Nemesis").
After NS, Karl did session work and guest gigs with a number of other Australian Metal bands including Angel of Death, Ion Drive and Spawn. A desire to use this
experience in a new musical direction led to the formation of Temujin.
