After their last album 'Viridian' released at the beginning of 2020, the Italians of 'Temperance' are releasing again a short album of around thirty minutes in an exercise that symphonic metal groups often do, namely to revisit their compositions in acoustics (the latest being 'Infinitum 'with their latest album 'Chapter I Revisited'). But the little extra of this opus is that two of these eight compositions are unpublished and start the album in an atmosphere far removed from symphonic metal and we are the subject of two beautiful videos (for 'Paint the World', see above, and for 'Evelyn', see here), the other six being taken entirely from 'Viridian', all the titles of the last album having very accessible and catchy melodic lines which lent themselves well to reinterpretations in acoustics. So, no need to make unnecessary comparisons because each version brings its share of emotion and to take an example, you can view the two videos of 'Start Another Round' in version electric et acoustic which for my part bring me as much pleasure one than the other. In short, as I am used to quoting this sentence from 'Alfred de Musset' : "whatever the bottle, provided you have drunkenness", everyone will find their favorite version and this latest album in acoustic Italiens shows that when the talent is there, whatever the style, the result is always of quality... | |
