Bio:
Introducing TEMIC—prog’s newest, most ambitious, and most adrenaline-fueled act. TEMIC melds the creative minds of keyboardist and sound designer Diego Tejeida (Devin Townsend, Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress, ex-Haken), guitarist Eric Gillette (The Neal Morse Band, Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress), drummer Simen Sandnes (SHINING, Arkentype), and vocalist Fredrik Klemp (Maraton, 22). Signed to Season of Mist (Label) and Glassville Music (Management) The origins of TEMIC date back to 2017, when Tejeida and Gillette toured the world as band members of Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress. From the very first chords they exchanged, their musical chemistry both on and off stage was undeniable, leading them to discuss the prospect of starting a new band together. Unfortunately, conflicting tour and recording commitments forced them to turn their attention elsewhere for years—that is, until the world came to a standstill in 2020, and Tejeida called Gillette to ask a fateful question: “Remember how we said we should make music together? Well, how about now?” Thus, the first demos for what would later become TEMIC’s 2023 debut album, Terror Management Theory, began to emerge. Within a few weeks after that initial phone call, the musical vision of TEMIC had become clear: Let’s create progressive music that is heavily influenced by high-energy electronic music, but arranged and orchestrated for a 5-piece modern prog rock/metal band—where, at last, the pulse can be the focus, and the vocal melody can be king.Eager to join forces with the very best bandmates, Tejeida and Gillette first summoned the rhythmic power of their friend and drummer Sandnes. With characteristic enthusiasm, Sandnes seized the opportunity, prepared to contribute his percussive prowess as the heartbeat of TEMIC. When it came time to find the singer that would carry TEMIC’s melodies to new heights, Sandnes recommended vocal powerhouse Klemp, whose emotive delivery and unmatched intensity left no doubt that he was destined to be the voice of TEMIC. Finally, to round out the rhythm section of Terror Management Theory, dynamic bassist Jacob Umansky (Intervals) was invited on board as a guest player, gracing the album with an unrivaled groove and a signature low-end sound.Together, this mammoth lineup is TEMIC, a high-energy, electronic-inspired, modern melodic prog metal band for the next generation.
Album:
Temic is just one album in, but to reach this point, this supergroup had to navigate quite the career maze. The guys have played with Devin Townsend, Mike Portnoy's Shattered Fortress, Neal Morse, Shining and Maraton, but it wasn't until the world shut down in 2020 that keyboardist Diego Tejeida and guitarist Eric Gillette got around to starting a band together. Their idea wasn't exactly simple: orchestrate their love for high-energy electronica and killer melodies into a modern prog metal band. By recruiting vocalist Fredrik Bergersen Klemp and Simen Sandnes on drums, Temic managed to pull that concept off. "Terror Management Theory" is layered with twists and turns. "Count Your Losses" crushes out tech riffs by the ton, while "Falling Away" drifts down a black hole of starry-eyed synths. At the end of this labyrinthine album lies "Mothalah", a 7-minute epic that never stops reaching for the sky, led by heroic falsetto.The debut of a melodic prog metal supergroup that invites you to get lost among its many twists and turns.
