Temperance releases 'Death: Right Before We Die' single after Tallinn fire

Italian symphonic power‑metal band Temperance has issued the second single and accompanying music video, “Death: Right Before We Die,” from their forthcoming album Arcani, slated for release on 16 October via Napalm Records. The track was inspired by a restaurant fire in Tallinn, Estonia, that occurred while the group was on the Sabaton Cruise 2024.

Vocalist Kristin Starkey says the song explores mortality through the Tarot Death card, urging listeners to face the inevitable with love and human connection. Guitarist Marco Pastorino composed the main melody after the incident. Pre‑orders for Arcani are now open.
