French melodic death metal unit TEMNEIN will release their third full-length, “Tales: Of Humanity And Greed” this Spring.
Produced by “El Mobo” (Loudblast, ETHS, The Great Old Ones, Eryn Non Dae, etc.) at Conkrete Studio in Bordeaux, France, the engrossing ten-rack offering is thematically based on various stories, myths, and legends exploring classic childhood occidental fairy tales, unsung fables from Asia and Inuit lands, pop culture universes (ie Legend Of Zelda, Majora’s Mask, Doctor Who etc.), and so much more.

Each story is linked however to a common theme: the repetition of human error and avidity across time.
Musically, TEMNEIN here employs shorter song structures than previous offerings adding more dynamics to their melo-death foundation.
More doom/death and post-metal influences have crept into the band’s sound consequently enhancing the overall atmosphere.
The records comes swathed in the stunning artwork of Vincent Fouquet (Meshuggah, Kataklysm, Moonsorrow, Kampfar, Nordjevel etc).
“Tales: Of Humanity And Greed” will see a physical release by the band on May 22 with worldwide digital distribution by Blood Blast, a new service powered by Nuclear Blast and Believe Music. Find preorders HERE.
Forged in France in 2009, TEMNEIN invokes the spirits of At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Ghost Brigade, Insomnium, Opeth, In Mourning, and the like while remaining singular in their output.
