The American Progressive Rock/Metal band TEMIC will release a new album entitled 'Terror Management Theory' on November 17, 2023 via SEASON OF MIST.TEMIC are just one album in, but to reach this point, this supergroup had to navigate quite the career maze. These guys have played with Devin Townsend, Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress, Neal Morse, Shining, and Maraton.
But it wasn’t until the world shut down in 2020, that keyboardist Diego Tejedia and guitarist Eric Gillette got around to starting a band together. Their idea wasn’t exactly simple: orchestrate their love for high-energy electronica and killer melodies into a modern prog-metal band. But by recruiting vocalist Fredrik Bergersen Klemp and Simen Sandnes on drums, TEMIC managed to pull that concept off.
‘Terror Management Theory’ is layered with twists and turns. “Count Your Losses” crushes out tech riffs by the ton, while “Falling Away” drifts down a blackhole of starry-eyed synths. At the end of this labyrinthine album lies “Mothalah”, a 7-minute epic that never stops reaching for the sky, led by heroic falsetto.
The debut of a melodic prog-metal supergroup that invites you to get lost among its many twists and turns.
