After releasing “Pure Life Unfolds” and “Breaking The Rules Of Metal” the symphonic metal powerhouse TEMPERANCE reveals their upcoming album’s title track “Diamanti”. With the third single, the band enters the final round before the eponymous album arrives.
On “Diamanti”, TEMPERANCE
Michele Guaitoli (vocals, piano) chimes in about the new single: “We’ve been taught that diamonds are the purest gems in this world. They’re so pure that they can’t be bent or broken. They’re almost indestructible. They’re valuable and also intangible: they inspire hope. The diamonds that rain throughout this beautiful song signify hopes for a better world, hopes for our dreams to come true, hopes for peace and joy. Since hopes are timeless and have no borders, we wanted to make this song flow through many languages. We wanted to use the language of music, which I represent in the video. The language of nature, which Marco represents in the video. The language of arts and beauty, which Alessia represents in the video. And we wanted everyone to understand the meaning of this song, even those who cannot listen to it but can use their eyes to read the message. Hopes are forever, hopes are for everyone.”
After releasing their vibrant fifth studio album “Viridian” in 2020, TEMPERANCE – 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. With “Diamanti,” the exceptionally skilled Italian outfit once again showcases their extraordinary ability to merge brilliant vocal melodies, hefty power metal guitar riffing, and symphonic soundscapes in perfect harmony – all dressed in modern surroundings. This is an offering that fans of bands like Amaranthe will fall in love with immediately.
“Diamanti” was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Amaranthe), with the cover artwork once again created by Yann Souetre (Ayreon).
Marco Pastorino (vocals, guitar) adds: “With “Diamanti”, we managed to combine our best qualities and selected the best TEMPERANCE songs so far. It’s not our heaviest album, it’s not our fastest work, but surely it’s our favorite one so far. We weren’t necessarily supposed to record a new album only one year after “Viridian”, but luckily we made it! In this album you will find our trademarks: the vocal harmonies, the catchy melodies, but also epic stuff, strong arrangements, and long tracks – I am very proud of “Diamanti” and I am convinced we have written a bombastic album!”
