Italy’s modern melodic metal force, Temperance, return today with a live version of “Darkness Is Just A Drawing” cut from their live album, From Hermitage To Europe, out March 14 via Napalm Records.
Michele Guaitoli says about the track: “When Marco first sent me the demo versions of Hermitage, I remember that one song immediately stuck in my mind, and that song was exactly ‘Darkness Is Just a Drawing’. Even after quite some time from that day, it remains my personal favorite on the entire record, and it’s still one of the songs I’m always excited to perform on stage.I truly believe this song belongs in a live setting. And I’m not just saying this – I mean it from the heart – I even prefer the live version to the studio version because of the raw energy and spirit that only a live performance can bring.”
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 lineup 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.”
