Staatskapelle Weimar - Nachtlichter - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Melodic metallers Temperance are going to their new album 'The Earth Embraces Us All' on September 16th on Scarlet Records. The album artwork has once again been made by Gustavo Sazes (Kamelot, Arch Enemy, Morbid Angel). This is how singer Chiara Tricarico commented InchThis is without any doubt the most complex and mature album we've ever done. It basically gave us the chance to add many new elements to our music. Most of the songs in our previous albums were short and straight to the point, these new ones are longer and stylistically challenging, it takes time to fully grasp their essence. 'The Earth Embraces Us All' is the natural evolution of our musical path, we are very proud of it, I think it represents us well!Inch

Veit Erdmann-Abele writes of his new InchThe term I like to use is Klangbild, a picture in sound. It refers to the musical reaction we can have vis-à-vis paintings or texts. Take the Five Meditations on Stained-Glass Windows, for instance the original stained-glass windows featured scenes from the Old and New Testaments. My music is by no means an attempt to InchdescribeInch those stories; rather, it is the outgrowth of my very personal, individual thoughts and emotions. My approach is like that of a book illustrator. The music should not attempt to recount the story; rather, quite differently, it offers an independent commentary on the events. I apply the same approach in my Inchmusical commentariesInch on Dietmar Scholz's textual aphorisms. The music does not literally depict Inchthe lonely hair that becomes important by falling into the soupInch, but tries to grasp the meaning hidden behind the text. This becomes particularly apparent in the case of Scholz's aphorism InchIn a mirror, everything is similar and everything is the oppositeInch this textual content can be musically depicted as a form. In the same way, my musical setting of the Romanesque Frescoes is not a description, but a commentary.Inch
