The Temperance Movement new album New Promise Land Incorporated, out October 9th via Earache Records

One of Britain's most celebrated modern rock bands are back. Today, The Temperance Movement announce their long-awaited fourth studio album, New Promise Land Incorporated, to be released October 9th via Earache Records.

First single, Eat You Alive, lays down a stunning marker and rings in the new record with a fervour and swagger that makes it a joy to have The Temperance Movement back.

"The album is a return to our beginnings in the truest sense" explains lead guitarist Paul Sayer. "We went about it in the same way we did our first album, the band in a room, live to tape. This time with Ethan Johns alongside us, we wanted to capture what it's like to be in a room with The Temperance Movement."

Frontman Phil Campbell adds; "Eat You Alive' was one of the first songs written. The lyrics describe the Somerset countryside in context to my journey to write with the guys casting it against my own super-urban home life in Glasgow. I'm dissatisfied with the shooshing, nit-picking and editing of life nowadays. I was a teenager in the 90's, and now I live in a very controlled and conservative world compared to that liberal zenith. The concept of being eaten alive or ruined entirely for backing the wrong horse or sticking up for the good guy when the bad guy has all the votes these are very real fears for anyone today, from children through to adulthood."
