Temper is a German band that emerged from a spark of musical chemistry. When Sören and Frank first crossed paths at a one-off company event, their impromptu jam crackled with energy. What began as a casual performance quickly evolved into something far deeper. With Chris stepping in on drums soon after, the band’s foundation was locked in. In its early days, Temper reimagined tracks from its members’ past projects—some of which still electrify audiences today.
Their sound defies easy categorization. Rooted in the high-voltage pulse of classic Metal, Temper also ventures into darker, more atmospheric territory. English or German lyrics ride melodic structures that stay with you—powerful, resonant, and impossible to shake long after the last chord fades.
The band describe their song"Lost Chance": "It's our outcry against the rich and powerful who continue to exploit the planet for profit. The song expresses our frustration, but also our determination. Everyone can and must do their part by being mindful and taking responsibility for the future."
I love the riffs, the catchy vocals (the chorus will get stuck in your head) and the heavy mood, reminding me of early Fates Warning, for some reason. Check out the solo section too, with a very cool tapping. Give it a go and follow Temper on social media as well.
