TEMPT: A New Force in Modern Rock – New Album Release and More!
Emerging from the vibrant energy of New York City, TEMPT is a rock band that has quickly crafted a distinctive sound, bridging the gap between the unforgettable era of ’70s and ’80s rock and contemporary musical sensibilities. Zach Allen’s lead vocals, Harrison Marcello’s explosive guitar, Christopher Gooden’s pulsating bass, and Nicholas Burrows’ pounding drums fuse together to give life to a timeless rock vibe.
Debut Album: A Blend of Past and Present
With the artistic guidance of Grammy Award-winning Chris Lord-Alge, known for his work with legends like Harry Styles, Foo Fighters, and Muse, TEMPT has created their self-titled debut album. Scheduled for release on August 25th through BETTER NOISE MUSIC, this anticipated album showcases the band’s signature style, rooted in classic rock yet undeniably fresh.
Fans eager to get their hands on this new rock sensation can pre-order the album here.
New Single “Burn Me Down”: A Fire That Ignites
The quartet recently unveiled their scintillating new single “Burn Me Down,” a captivating anthem that resonates with the turbulence of passion and the allure of destructive love. As ALLEN puts it, it’s about “the kind of love that both exhilarates and destroys,” a theme that the band has masterfully woven into a musical experience.
Marcello, the band’s lead guitarist, explains that the song is about being caught in a relentless cycle of desire and chaos. Their words speak to a universal human experience, and the song’s driving riffs and electrifying energy bring this feeling to life.
A Musical Journey: From “Roses” to Madison Square Garden
In addition to their latest release, TEMPT has been winning hearts across the nation with singles like “Roses,” a tribute to the human spirit, and their rendition of Queen’s classic “We Will Rock You.” Their collaboration with Dorothy on “Living Dangerous” even found its way onto the soundtrack of the 2022 horror-thriller “The Retaliators.”
TEMPT’s on-stage presence has been felt in some of the biggest arenas across the country, opening for colossal names such as Iron Maiden, Shinedown, Alter Bridge, and even Bon Jovi at Madison Square Garden.
Conclusion: A Band to Watch
TEMPT’s swift rise in the rock world and their connection to both past and present makes them a band worth watching. Their debut album promises to be an exciting exploration of rock’s timeless essence through the lens of a fresh and talented quartet.
I will be interviewing the band for the Now Spinning Magazine Podcast which I am really looking forward to!
