Italian symphonic power metallers TEMPERANCE have announced their seventh studio album, ‚Arcani‘, set for release on October 16, 2026 via Napalm Records. Inspired by the Major Arcana of the Tarot, the 13-track record sees each song tied to a different card. The first single, ‚The Devil: Sin, Sin, Sin‘, is available now alongside an official music video.Italian symphonic power metal outfit TEMPERANCE are charting bold new territory with their seventh studio album, ‚Arcani‘, scheduled for release on October 16, 2026 via Napalm Records. Drawing deep inspiration from the esoteric practice of Tarot reading, the band has crafted 13 songs, each corresponding to a different card from the Major Arcana — a concept that lends the record a rich narrative depth without rendering it a strict concept album.
To mark the announcement, TEMPERANCE have unveiled the lead single ‚The Devil: Sin, Sin, Sin‘, a dramatic, darkly-toned composition that channels the menacing symbolism of the fifteenth trump card. Despite its shadowy undertones, the track showcases the band’s signature melodic flair through a soaring, anthemic chorus that highlights the interplay between the group’s three distinctive vocalists.
Guitarist and vocalist Marco Pastorino described the single as „a brand new anthem for our upcoming setlists,“ adding that the song „embodies the Devil card and opens the gate to Tarot in the context of TEMPERANCE.“
With its most personal lyrics to date — written collaboratively in group sessions — ‚Arcani‘ promises epic symphonic arrangements, powerful guitar solos, and the dynamic vocal contrast that has become the hallmark of TEMPERANCE’s sound. The album will be available in multiple formats, including a strictly limited 100-copy Inkspot Black/Red gatefold LP exclusive to the Napalm Records shop, a standard black vinyl edition, CD digipak, and digital download.
Supporting the release, TEMPERANCE will join KAMELOT on the Dark Asylum World Tour across Europe in November 2026.
