Bei TEMIC handelt es sich um eine internationale „Supergroup“, deren Mitglieder aus den USA und Norwegen stammen und mit solch illustren Acts wie Devin Townsend, Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress, Neal Morse, Shining und Maraton gearbeitet haben. Musikalisch widmen sie sich bei dem Background natürlich dem Progressive Metal, der aber in der Single `Mothallah` erstaunlich episch klingt. Das dazugehörige TEMIC Debütalbum ”Terror management Theory” erscheint am 17. November.
Über die Single sagt die Band:
“The lyrics in ‘Mothallah’ come from the personified perspective of our inner survival-seeking selves, encouraging us to reconcile and reconnect with our inner strength and self-confidence, especially when facing great challenges or fighting fears.
The choir brings to life a sense of community and belonging, realizing that not only as individuals, but also as a species, do we all face challenges and ‘fight through the darkest night…’ For this self-produced video, we wanted to emphasize that the band members come from very different backgrounds, nationalities and ethnicities. Even when living thousands of kilometers away, it is music that bring us all together.“
