Singer and guitarist Marco Pastorino's comment on the new single:

Our paths have crossed at a lot of places and stories.

I Am the Fire” is about motivation and a trigger that can help us to reach our goals. Through different colors, moods and situations, we can find a light on our journey. As always we blend our three different vocal styles in one of the most melodic tracks from Viridian. 

As a side note, we were not particularly thinking of seasonal wildfire or the horrible tragedy that is happening in Australia right now. The word ‘fire’ is recurrently used as an analogy to inner strength, and we believe that we can take it as a call to action for uniting and together, overcoming any obstacles we face individually as well as a society.”

From blood, sweat and tears to the great victory: TEMPERANCE has just released their new energetic single “Start Another Round”, fresh off their latest album, Viridian. Taking risks and playing with one’s own luck and fate are the main topics of this melodic live anthem - even if the way to success and victory is paved with bruises and disappointments, it is the grand prize and self-fulfillment that matters after all. 

Highlighting the importance of determination and faith in one’s own talents, the catchy song is accompanied by an equally dynamic and adrenaline-filled music video. The breathtaking stunts and acrobatics, the cheering crowd enjoying the sound of TEMPERANCE, and the outstanding stage charisma of the band members themselves make “Start Another Round” a deeply expressive and motivating experience. The video definitely transports the positive attitude of the song and will bring a wide smile to your face. 

Singer Michele Guaitoli comments: 

"When I first heard this track during pre-production, I immediately knew it would become one of Temperance's hymns! Energy, happiness, power, and self-development are all gathered in this track that compares our lives with gambling: if you don’t take your chances now, you never will. Are you ready to roll the dice?"

Temperance reveals new christmas single, “Lost In The Christmas Dream”! This track will be released as part of new album Viridian's download version, as well as on streaming platforms only. 

Marco Pastorino, singer and guitarist, comments: 
“We always wanted to surprise our fans and write a song about Christmas. Can you imagine the typical Christmas mood paired with an anthem in classic TEMPERANCE fashion? We think that not a lot of metal bands did such thing and we hope that "Lost In The Christmas Dream" brings a great amount of positive energy and joy to everyone. Merry Xmas!”

We're proud to release our heartfelt new song, “My Demons Can’t Sleep”, off of the upcoming album Viridian. 

TEMPERANCE’s journey through the depths of the subconscious was filmed in the somber 14th century Castle of Verrès. A young woman enters the castle and roams around the hallways, seeming to be trapped within the walls of the castle – equally imprisoned by her insurmountable demons. When the lyrical modification in the chorus hits, she takes her first steps outside and walks towards a white horse, a symbol of freedom and self-empowerment. Track lyricist Michele Guaitoli states that this scene portrays the moment where the protagonist realizes that she is the ruler of her own life. During the change throughout the song, she realizes that her past faults or mistakes, even fears, are meant to be there to help her grow. Facing all of that instead of running away is the only solution to become stronger. 

Marco Pastorino, singer and guitarist, comments: 
“You asked for the classic TEMPERANCE sound… so here we go! “My Demons Can’t Sleep” is probably the first song we wrote for Viridian; a very catchy track with a great guitar riff and also a nice interaction between our three voices. Definitely one of the most melodic tracks of the album, it will surely be an anthem for our live shows! The lyrics were written by Michele and it’s one of my favorites in the album. He talks about our daily troubles and fears, but in the end, with our inner strength, we can change everything.”
