TEMIC Melds The Creative Minds Of Keyboardist And Sound Designer Diego Tejeida Devin Townsend Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress Ex-Haken Guitarist Eric Gillette The Neal Morse Band Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress Drummer Simen Sandnes SHINING Arkentype And Vocalist Fredrik Klemp Maraton 22 . Signed To Season Of Mist Label And Glassville Music Management The Origins Of TEMIC Date Back To 2017 When Tejeida And Gillette Toured The World As Band Members Of Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress. From The Very First Chords They Exchanged Their Musical Chemistry Both On And Off Stage Was Undeniable Leading Them To Discuss The Prospect Of Starting A New Band Together. Unfortunately Conflicting Tour And Recording Commitments Forced Them To Turn Their Attention Elsewhere For Years—that Is Until The World Came To A Standstill In 2020 And Tejeida Called Gillette To Ask A Fateful Question “Remember How We Said We Should Make Music Together? Well How About Now?” Thus The First Demos For What Would Later Become TEMIC’s 2023 Debut Album Terror Management Theory Began To Emerge. Within A Few Weeks After That Initial Phone Call The Musical Vision Of TEMIC Had Become Clear Let’s Create Progressive Music That Is Heavily Influenced By High-Energy Electronic Music But Arranged And Orchestrated For A 5-Piece Modern Prog Rock/metal Band—where At Last The Pulse Can Be The Focus And The Vocal Melody Can Be King. Eager To Join Forces With The Very Best Bandmates Tejeida And Gillette First Summoned The Rhythmic Power Of Their Friend And Drummer Sandnes. With Characteristic Enthusiasm Sandnes Seized The Opportunity Prepared To Contribute His Percussive Prowess As The Heartbeat Of TEMIC. When It Came Time To Find The Singer That Would Carry TEMIC’s Melodies To New Heights Sandnes Recommended Vocal Powerhouse Klemp Whose Emotive Delivery And Unmatched Intensity Left No Doubt That He Was Destined To Be The Voice Of TEMIC. Finally To Round Out The Rhythm Section Of Terror Management Theory Dynamic Bassist Jacob Umansky Intervals Was Invited On Board As A Guest Player Gracing The Album With An Unrivaled Groove And A Signature Low-End Sound. read less
