TEMIC certainly lived up to the hype with their chart-topping debut, but the international prog supergroup have grown by leaps and bounds on their mighty and magical second album. Fans and critics are trembling in anticipation for Ceiba, the group’s thunderous ode to loss.  

“TEMIC are back in full bloom with Ceiba”, Metal Injection writes in this month’s edition of the Progressive Injection.

Prog Magazine agreed, naming the album’s lead single “Ceased to Be” a track of the week.

Today, TEMIC are releasing the second advanced single from Ceiba.  “Broken” bares the album’s soul with grief and grace. 

“‘Broken’ is built around overwhelming emotion and honesty”, TEMIC vocalist Fredrik Klemp says. “We wrote the song in 30 minutes. It came together instinctively. There was no need to overthink it or make it into something more than what it already was. We simply allowed it to be what it is. I think that’s where the song gets its strength”. 

“The honesty of this song became very important to my vocal performance”, Klemp continues. “It connects to experiences and emotions that are deeply personal to me. Rather than distance myself from them, I wanted to let those emotions come through in my voice. My performance sits deliberately close to the edge, fragile and unsteady, as if it could give way at any moment”.
