Italian melodic metal band Temperance have filmed a music video for the title track of their forthcoming album Diamanti, which can be viewed below.
Speaking about the song and video, vocalist Michele Guaitoli said: “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 [Pastorino, guitar] represents in the video. The language of arts and beauty, which Alessia [Scolletti, vocals] 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.”
Temperance issue sixth full-length studio album Diamanti on November 19th, 2021 through Napalm Records. The outing will be made available in various formats and can be pre-ordered here.
Guitarist Marco Pastorino commented: “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 favourite 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!”
Diamanti was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark.
Cover artwork was once again created by Yann Souetre.
