As they prepare to announce their thunderous and grief-stricken follow-up album, TEMIC are releasing a new video for “Paradigm”. Recorded live at Poppodium Boerderij in Zoetermeer, Netherlands during the band’s 2025 European co-headline tour, this setlist highlight displays the full range of their prog-metal star power.
“‘Paradigm’ is one of those songs that poured out in a single writing session”, TEMIC guitarist and vocalist Eric Gillette says. “I had this concept for someone traveling vast distances through space. They’re slowly trapped inside a kind of cryosleep, only for it to transform into their version of paradise. The song came together in a way that felt really natural. It’s one of my favorite songs to play live, especially with the vocal interplay with Fredrik. ‘Paradigm’ is always a powerful moment in our set”.
Watch the video for “Paradigm (Live at the Boerderij 2025)” on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.
“Paradigm” thrusts Gillette into the spotlight. Following his stellar guitar opening, the Neal Morse Band member takes the lead with cleans that shine brighter than the North Star. “It feels like I’ve lost my mind”. While the song’s narrator searches for meaning amidst the great unknown, much like the natural order of the universe, the stars of TEMIC are fully aligned. Diego Tejeida stuns with cosmic swirling keys. Drummer Simen Sandnes and bassist Miguel Pereira collide into a meteoric groove. When main vocalist Frederik Bergersen Klemp and Gilette hit full throttle during the final chorus, the packed house at the Boerderij is transported to paradise.
The video for “Paradigm (Live at the Boerderij 2025)” was directed by John Vis and Geert Jan Schoonbeek and produced by Miguel Pereira.
