Italian masters of modern melodic metal TEMPERANCE have spellbound their symphonic magic into a thrilling live album, From Hermitage To Europe, out March 14, 2025 via Napalm Records! Captured during the band’s latest extended tour supporting their album Hermitage - Daruma's Eyes Pt. 2 (2023), the new live recording brings the magical village of Hermitage and fan favorites to life!

Now featured for the first time in live recording form, this story was first explored on the aforementioned full-length studio album, which has since also been released in its orchestral version, featuring many renowned guests such as Fabienne Erni (Eluveitie) and Laura Fella (Faun).

Known for their vocal harmonies, the first single, "Daruma", is a gift to symphonic lovers, where melodic guitar passages collide with a galloping drum beat. TEMPERANCE’s Michele Guaitoli takes us into their magical world, while his vocal comrade-in-arms Kristin Starkey heats up the tension with her dark timbre. This live recording serves as the perfect prelude to their highly anticipated 2025 European tour, with melodic death metal giants Ignea and symphonic powerhouse Induction.

Marco Pastorino on “Daruma”:
“It's been years since our only live release, and the time has come to publish material with our current lineup. For the first time, you’ll be able to listen to some of our most renowned tracks in their live versions - such as "Of Jupiter And Moons," "Diamanti," and "The Last Hope In A World Of Hopes,” while also including some of the most beloved songs from our latest album, Hermitage, after spending a year on the road supporting it.

For this reason, we have chosen to release ‘Daruma’ as the first single, marking the first track released with our Kristin Starkey.

We will celebrate the release of From Hermitage To Europe alongside our European headlining tour!”

A symphonic adventure of power, passion and melodies: TEMPERANCE Live!

Rousing guitar riffs, epic orchestrations and powerful vocal duets are a welcome gift for symphonic metal lovers, now captured for the afterworld. While “The Last Hope in a World of Hopes” combines gripping melodies and choral vocals, their stunning live performance can also be witnessed in “Darkness Is Just a Drawing” - fans will experience one of the band's most magical compositions, shining with masterful vocal harmonies. The palpable energy on fan-favorites like “Diamanti” and “Of Jupiter And Moons“ showcase the band’s extraordinary musical atmosphere.

Michele Guaitoli about the album:
“The last years have been a rollercoaster of emotions. TEMPERANCE have grown on every level and have been traveling the world, having the honor of performing in Europe, the UK, the US and South America.

Those who follow us are well aware that from “Of Jupiter and Moons” to “Hermitage”, we’ve faced a relevant line-up change. We felt it was fundamental to let our listeners understand who TEMPERANCE is nowadays, as the arrival of Kristin during the EU tour as special guests for Tarja had a strong impact on the sound of the band, thanks to her unique (and outstanding) voice.

From Hermitage To Europe gives justice to what you are going to witness live in March during our headline run, and most importantly, sets in stone the essence of this new cycle of TEMPERANCE, which we want to be a cycle of rebirth.”

Just in time for the release of their exciting concept album, Hermitage - Daruma's Eyes Pt. 2,
Italian maestros of modern melodic/symphonic metal TEMPERANCE reveal their third
spellbinding single, “Darkness is just a Drawing”, together with a colorful official music video.
The new full-length, Hermitage - Daruma's Eyes Pt. 2, drops this Friday, October 20, 2023
via Napalm Records and unveils stand-out performances by Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon),
Fabienne Erni (Eluveitie, Illumishade), Laura Fella (Faun) and Alessandro Conti (Twilight
Force).

From its opening notes, “Darkness is just a Drawing” envelops listeners in a world of
theatrical orchestration and unbridled emotion. From haunting vulnerability to the
resounding power of the impressive choir, the symphonic journey traverses the emotional
spectrum of the villagers of Hermitage and the enigmatic villain Anningan.

Singer Kristin Starkey says:
"We are so proud to present our final single ‘Darkness is just a Drawing’ for our upcoming
album Hermitage - Daruma's Eyes Pt. 2 out in just a few days on October 20th! Although it is
one of the ballads of the album, it features dynamic and passionate vocal performances from
all of us and lyrically depicts one of the most important story points and lyrics of the album -
‘Darkness is just a Drawing’. We hope you love the journey!"
