After releasing their vibrant fifth studio album, Viridian in 2020, TEMPERANCE, the maestros of modern melodic/symphonic metal, delight their devotees with the persuasive new offering Diamanti, to be released on November 19, 2021 via Napalm Records. On Diamanti the highly talented Italian outfit once again showcases an extraordinary ability of merging exceptional vocal melodies, hefty power metal guitar riffing and symphonic soundscapes in perfect harmony, all dressed in a modern sounding surrounding, for fans of bands like Amaranthe falling in love with immediately!
The epic journey sets sail with majestic “Pure Life Unfolds”, offering the bombastic sounding and power of TEMPERANCE immediately. With their essence of three vocalists (Alessia Scolletti, Michele Guaitoli and Marco Pastorino), the unit manages to create an incomparable trademark, uniting heaviness and catchy melodies. Following energetic and uplifting “Breaking The Rules Of Heavy Metal” is breaking in with full force, telling an epic tale and creating a far-reaching sense of common bond. The enchanting mid-tempo title track flatters with an Italian chorus, leading to piano-driven “Black Is My Heart” shortly after, while “Litany Of The Northern Lights” adds a folkie touch to this grand bunch. Explosive “Code Breaker” and freaking “Let’s Get Started” serve as one of the record’s most modern tunes, whereas “The Night Before The End” and “Fairy Tales For The Stars” reflect the more symphonic orientated touch of Diamanti. This massive adventure ends with “Follow Me” - a call that not only fans of TEMPERANCE should heed to! Diamanti was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Amaranthe), with the cover artwork once again created by Yann Souetre (Ayreon).
