Temperance is born in 2013 and since that year it works on its first full lenght album, released in April 2014 via Scarlet Records.
Album:
Italians TEMPERANCE already released a couple a cool records but to me were too much Amaranthe-styled to make them worthwhile. But with their new album "The Earth Embraces Us All" to be released in few days, things have changed into a true signature sound, and what a great one they've achieved.After listening opener 'A Thousand Places' indeed it felt like I’d been to 1,000 places from modern metal to melodic metal to what can only be described as Kenny G. Don’t run away at that last part until you understand how gracefully introduced it is.When a band “finds maturity” it doesn’t mean they give up on metal… but all the added elements simply enhance what has become a dreadfully stale and overdone symphonic metal scene. Temperance represent the future of that. Call it “post- melodic symphonic metal” if you will. Or call it rock ‘n’ roll – that’s truly what it is.'At The Edge Of Space' hits you again with some aggressive guitars from guitarist Marco Pastorino while Chiara Tricarico’s stunning vocals flow throughout the song. An extremely catchy track which reminds me of some older Nightwish when the used to rock, and rock good.Unspoken Words' kicks off with an acoustic yet moving section that is enough to get your foot tapping right away. Once again the chorus line is outstanding and that intro melody reappears through out the song in all the right places with some fantastic guitar work.While temperance delivers here some material similar to their two previous albums like on 'Haze' – which also it's the disc heaviest track, the overall difference on this new CD “The Earth Embraces Us All” is that the glitz is kept in check, shrouded in and heavy riffs with direct and striking melody lines.Check out 'Revolution' for the perfect example. In fact, there is so much at work here that it takes multiple listens to sink in. The incorporation of violins, pipes, and even saxophone takes the listener on a journey with a very positive and poignant message presented in uplifting melodies and outstanding musicianship.Nowhere on the album is this better represented than the near 13-minute closer 'The Restless Ride'.Now we're talking... Temperance has really found their own style / sound on "The Earth Embraces Us All", and it's truly captivating.The band blend here light melodic metal, keyboard-driven sympho, and a bit of progressive with lots of poppy touches turning things very accessible, but if you dig deeper, very interestingly arranged. There's layers of vocal harmonies and strong metallic guitar riffs, but also a high dose of keyboards / synths resulting in greatly melodic & dynamic output."The Earth Embraces Us All" has both a social and musical message – we are one and diversity is key to our existence. The band has finally found its niche, hit its stride, and come into its own.
